Black SL500

[somebody]

Ok I don`t post much on here so I decided to show off one of my latest details. The car is a Mercedes SL500 which is a beautiful car both inside and out. I was very impressed with the fit and finish on the car and it was a blast to drive. The detail took be about 18 hours to do with all the work done by hand. When I first did a quick look over the car it seemed to be in good shape but when I drove it into the garage and under the florescent lights the real truth came out.



Here are some before pictures:

The car took me longer then I originally planned for but I think the overall final product turned out good.

This was one of the harder jobs I have done but the client really like the final product which makes it all worth the time and effort!:clap:

Nice shine in the afters...





Do you have any after shots under halogens or in direct sun? I find it hard to believe that anyone could remove paint defects by hand on the new Ceramic Clear Coats. Not trying to bash, I am just curious.

Here are two that I got, I wish I would have taken more... Also As you can see in the pictures there are some small light swirls but I believe it was more due to my mf towels then anything else. I have just ordered some new towels and some zaino products to try out.
