2003 Mercedes S430 detailed.

[35TH LE]

I dont know what this color is called but if I was to guess Id say its called GORGEOUS! :)



Pretty clean car to start.. this specific customer usually washes the car for me before I arrive, no complaints. :D He just bought this car for his wife and had me give it some lovin`. This is my 3rd car detailed for this gentleman.



This car.. well.. lets just say I now know what people mean when they say Mercedes paint is HARD! Wow.. this car was a pain in the UKNOWHAT.

-NXT and Megs Finishing pad and PC

-QD car after removal

Thanks!



1 whole pass on the whole car and in some areas I had to REALLY beat up the paint on a second pass. I mean.... I dont think Ive ever applied that much pressure to the surface on a car but this thing just took it and laughed.

excellent job.



The german paints are very hard and the clearcoats almost solid at times. I de-swirled a Porsche boxster at the weekend, completing 3-4 times with the rotary in some areas!!!



Love the poly clay, has great temp range, great for us UK detailers now its gone cold! :(

Welllllllllll if youre gonna twist my arm. :D Im gonna hijack my own thread...hahaha.



These were taken after I washed it last and wanted to take some pics of the widened anniversary wheels. I had them widened 2" and put some BFG 315 drag radials on them. Im having the rear valance repainted because I hit a piece of tire on the freeway and split it. :angry
