Red 380SL 1984 - First time with Bosch RO

[1984 JPS]

Hey all, first time with bosch unit i got from damian. But not first time i`ve used zaino (used it for the past 3ish years)



Anyway steps were:



Wash - Megs NXT car wash



Clay - clay magic (the little blue bar)



Menzerna IP with blue edge pad + Bosch



Menzerna FF with white edge pad + Bosch



Wash - Dawn + little NXT soap



Zaino, Z1 followed by Z2. Next dayish Z6 then Z5



Obviously not completly done arches etc but u get the idea. My mums overseas atm getting me some more edge pads cos I would have liked to use maybe a green or yellow on some spots but I think it came up good

Looks good!



But you missed the rim around the fender ;)



And I like to spray the fenderwells with diluted tire-shine, makes them look brand new...



And tire shine that mofo!



(I do all this before polishing, then the end result looks perfect as soon as you`re waxing it... Much better for self modivation ;))

The SL looks excellent, but I`d have to say the same as Stumpy...black tires and wells can make a dramatic difference. I just detailed my Astral Silver 560SL this past weekend, but man I really wish it was red like yours...I just love the wow-factor of black and red cars.
