AJ Auto Detail: Mercedes C350

The owner of this car called me for a detail. He just got this car and already noticed some things wrong with the paint. Some overspray, scratches, hard water spots and also asked about swirls. When i got there, he tried to tell me what he thought needed to be done and asked if swirl removal was necessary. The car was dirty at the time so i told him i would wash it and put the halogen on it to see what we were up against. After looking at what the halogen showed, he opted for the full swirl removal service. Without further ado, heres the process and pics...

Time: 8 Hours

Process:
Foam w/ ## CWG & ## HDW
Wheels w/ Meg's APC 4:1
Tires/Wells w/ Meg's APC 4:1
Bugs w/ SC RTGD
Wash w/ ## CWG
Tires/Wells w/ Meg's APC
Clay w/ Pinn UP and ## SQD
Polish w/ Menz SIP w/ LC White @ speed 6
Wheels w/ Klasse AIO
Wax w/ Pinn Souveran
Carpet/Mats w/ Vacuum
Plastics/Leather w/ Steam
Plastics w/ 1Z Cockpit Lemon
Glass w/ IG
Scent w/ ## Leather Scent

In your duplicate thread you included a photo using a steam cleaner. What kind was it?
