Nice Job almost looked like the one i did over the summer with the same swirls whoever uses the steel wool to wash their car. Only difference was this was a vert i did,compared to the coupe.spent 13 hours.

Wunderbar! Great work. Thanks for the process details as well. I had to smile when I saw the pine needles in the deck lid wells - I have both pines and oaks in my neighborhood, so its either needles or acorns if I let my Benz sit outside in the driveway for very long!
