2005 Mercedes CL55 AMG detail

[sftempest66]

Whats up guys, picked up this beautiful car the other day and had a go at it, car needed to be washed/clayed (was very dirty) and the interior took me a while to clean, doesnt look too dirty in the befores but it needed some attention, engine was also detailed, was pretty clean to begin with but looked better when I was done, my final process was as follows



Exterior

-Wash with nxt wash

-Clay with pinnacle poly clay

-Washed again

-PC with a white pad and Optimum polish to hood/fenders that had light marring

-Poorboys EX with caranuba to top it off

Interior

-scrub carpets, matts, door sills

-Aluminum polished, door jambs cleaned

-Leather conditioned/cleaned with Poorboys leather stuff

-Door panels treated with Meguiars Interior shine

-Vacuum

-ETC

Wheels quick detailed, tire shine, wheel wells were fairly clean, used some 303 to help them out a lil, exhaust pipes scrubbed with metal polish

Got to love white, looks good dude.

Really well done and I bet the owners were proud to see it come back like that! I wanted to ask what you use to clean the carpets with and what vacuum you use for drying? :thx



Again, nice job on the Merc! ;)

Thanks, yes the owner was very happy, next time I do the car its getting a coat of natty`s, but anyways, I just use some regular old Turtle wax power out (oxy cleaner) spray a lont on there, let it soak in real well, then scrub the crap outta everything, and as for a vacuum, I just use a regular old shop vac that my dad has in the garage, nothing special, just takes me some time

haha yea I`m pretty short, I`m 5`5" but I`m only 17 lol

Don`t feel bad, I am only 5` 5" as well. Can`t worry about what I can`t change. ;)



Excellent job on the CL55, even though it appeared to be in decent shape to start with, you made a very noticable improvement in how it looks all the way around. :)
