So, if you remember the white CKL Mercedes I posted a few weeks back - H.S> grad gift for a regular client`s daughter. This is the car she drove and just parked once she got the Merc. So, the parents are selling it and wanted it cleaned up.



Didn`t get many good pics as the day was hot and I was just wanting to get to it.



This car was put into service last summer and had never seen any waxing or interior detailing.



My process here was:



Two Bucket Wash with Adams Car Wash on MF Mitt

Meg Med Clay with ONR Solution for lube

One run of 105 on PWF

One run of 205 on Uber Polishing Pad

Two coats of Meg 2.0 Poly Sealant

Wheels got P21s with Swissvax and Daytona brushes

Tires got APC then Meg All Season Dressing

Glass the usual Stoners with MF

Carpet was air purged and vacuumed then APC, Folex and dry vapor

Interior panels got some heavy APC wipedown

Well you did some magic on that one, looks like a different car now.. Sad that some people spoil their kids like that.. but it means more work for guys like you, which is good :)

Given the oppurtunity I would probably marry a girl that could keep in a new Corvette all the time. :lol

The last three are, yeah. The after interior, the exterior hadn`t been washed yet. SO, if I`m gonna get grief for the jambs, they were cleaned with APC with Swissvax and Daytona brushes then sealed as well
