Silver Mercedes SL500
This car came in on consignment at my work and needed a good cleaning. Overall the paint was in very good shape scratch wise. The wheels and interior were fairly dirty. Process was pretty simple.

Here is my process:

Washed exterior, cleaned wheels & engine compartment

Clayed with Opti-Clay

Polished with Optimum polish by rotary

Hand application of UPP

Dressed tires with Meguiars Gold Class endurance gel

Complete interior detail

Here are the before pictures:

Superb! UPP is a great choice on silver too.

I really like those new SLs, really fun car to detail.
