2009 Merc R500

[Got More Wax]

I just serviced this client's Tahoe, that he promptly sold and replaced with an '09R500. This car is brand new so, I didn't do anything inside. Instead, I spent 12 hours working the paint. This car sat on the lot for almost 7 months, getting the three times a week spray and dry - paint was beat!! Client bought the car and drove it down some dirt road and I took it with 109 miles. Car looked bad when dirty, worse after washing.

Not a lot of pics on this one - customer didn't want to get too crazy on the "People Mover".

So, on the way to the shop, I got pics of the car as I received it.






Since the car sat for so long and because this guy is such a good customer for the dealership, they had an outside detailer "Buff the Finish"





He even left a few gifts

Amazing work! Can't believe they would let it go like that. Maybe you should really go in with some before/after shots.
