My 1st high end detail (AMG CL55)

[roaringmouse]

2004 AMG CL55 (13,000 miles)



Nice running car and very quick (supercharged 493-horsepower V-8).



1) Washed with Duragloss / Simple Green Foam Gun.

2) Clay Magic (blue).

3) Eagle One All Wheel & Tire Cleaner.

4) Jeff`s Prime by Cyclo.

5) P21S Carnuba Wax by hand.

6) Wolf Gang Black Diamond for tires.

7) Sprayway for glass.

8) Zaino Z9 & Z10 for leather.

9) Folex for a few spots on the carpet/mats.



The car was in good shape. It may have been waxed once but it don`t believe it had every been clayed. It wasn`t visible but something on the paint surface came off red on the clay.



The inside of the wheels were pretty bad and had to be removed to properly clean the brake dust.



This was my first time trying Prime and didn`t care for it. Too hard to remove.



P21S applied and removed very easy.



Folex cleaned up the carpet spots very easily.



I was surprised at the amount of leaves under the hood and around the trunk hinges. My shop vac took care of that in short order.

Looks great

Did you roll the car forward/backward a bit to make the AMG on the wheel line up with the AMG on the caliper? :D

Didn`t notice that, pure luck.

Nice job and that`s cool how it lined up

is that a brake caliper cover?

Looks excellent, very shiny and wet! :)



Prime is insanely easy to use once you get it down. Use about half what you think you need and continue spreading over each section and going over it until it pretty much disappears, do that and removal is absolutely effortless. Also, you might want to try the PC instead, my understanding from Accumulator is that AIO, a very similar product is not Cyclo friendly in that it flashes too quickly.

Thank you for this info. I`m adjust my process on my next detail.

No, those are 8 pot (piston) Brembos!
