Todays detail is a 1994 Mercedes E320 convertible. The car was in pretty good shape with for a 1994 26,000 on the odo but did have its fair share of swirling. This was my first work on a Mercedes and I will have to break out the more aggresive polishes the next time. The clear on this baby was hard as a rock and even with the UDM I had a hard time with it.



I think its time to learn how to use my rotary.

Yes Chris its the yellow Maranello that I did a while back. The next car on deck is the black BMW 740i in the background. The car is in bad shape. Its going to kick my ****:sadpace:

Beautiful work, those E320s are quite rare and still go for top dollar.

Nice job !!! I love those old Benzes, and have a bit of a following in the MB collector crowd. That car looks extremely familiar. Was it purchased from a collector from Northern NJ (Saddle River) about 2 years ago ???



One of my favorite Benzes !!! Glad to to see its being maintained by a detailer of your caliber !!!



Cheers !!!
