Got Wax · 07-01-09, 05:18

This is a three day old gift to a client's 18 year old for grauating high school.

This car is apparently the last CLK being made so, they make the Grand Edition as a limited run. The "Diamond White" color makes flaws very difficult to photograph. But there were a few micro-scratches and swirls.

So, the car received the following:

- Wheels got P21S w/ 5 min dwell agitated w/Swissvax and various other brushes
- Tires got APC and stiff nylon brush
- Wheel Wells received APC and agitated with nylon bristle brush
- Car received foam w/Adams Car Wash rinse and two bucket wash w/Adams
Car Wash and MF Mitt
- Clay w/ Megs fine clay bar and ONR Solution for lube
- Wheels calyed w/ Meg fine and Meg 2.0 Poly Sealant
- Meg 205 on Uber green 5.5 on Makita and 4" on Flex @ 1200 rpm
- Meg 205 on Uber blue 5.5 on Maikta and 4" on Flex @ 1200 rpm
- ONR wash and rinse
- Meg 2.0 Poly Sealant
- Tires got Meg All Season Dressing
- Interior got a air purge and vacuum
- Seats wiped down and received Leather Master Protect. Cream

While this car really didn't need much, it did need a solid cleaning and protectant.

Looks great man, I have never heard of a Grand Edition. I like the tire dressing you used, very clean looking.

Looks great, it's surprising how dirty the new cars can come. Haven't heard of the grand edition either until now. I think they've done away completely with the CLK though, brand new E-Class comes in coupe form.

Nice job again!
