How can one man good friend became enemy



100 ways to loose a frienship.......... ranking #1



scratch his car



I got a very distress call

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xLKIywViiZY/Ua4HyfYL_XI/AAAAAAAAOtU/n67A2IdlibY/s640/IMG_4220.JPG?gl=GB





so distress that, almost requires an ambulance or a paramedic to the crime scene



https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-p43S9CknB14/Ua4H0dCyHXI/AAAAAAAAOtc/-hUftXafByE/s640/IMG_4221.JPG?gl=GB



how on earth one would have done this?????



https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1sHjpj8LJ2g/Ua4H2bIk3GI/AAAAAAAAOtk/P8yGMIGpln4/s640/IMG_4222.JPG?gl=GB





closer inspection



https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KllIXCI9yrw/Ua4H4R9_oZI/AAAAAAAAOts/Q0uiUWekIgI/s640/IMG_4223.JPG?gl=GB



scuffed and damaged paint work on the new Mercedez E class.....the owner want to send it to Mercedes to get it repaint immediately



I sigh....please slow down......take a deep breath and come.....90% of survivor chance is always the head matter and 10% the circustances & opportunity

over all pic



this car was opticoated couple months ago, the owner has been very careful not to send it any where or any how to be wash or polish



https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-MfD2dB1feuY/Ua4H894PoiI/AAAAAAAAOt8/jIHBKATumrQ/s640/IMG_4226.JPG?gl=GB



Action



a quick swift of cooling down the ride before washing is always good habit to prevent premature Clear coat failure.....just as mum always says cool down, wipe off your sweat before bath



a quick ANRW wash with 6 MF



POPPING up the hood to let it cool off further before surgery



upon opening the hood , we saw some issue need to be rectify







https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-hCDb7xAK1_0/Ua4H_z0gUiI/AAAAAAAAOuI/_3LWDD0jCJo/s640/IMG_4227.JPG?gl=GB

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-60y5VJwZISs/Ua4ICe4QHWI/AAAAAAAAOuQ/_02PwRBeDDM/s640/IMG_4231.JPG?gl=GB



firstly i need to let the hood to really cool down before working on the paint surgery, least you do not removed accesive other than what is required



2ndly good to buy some time and how can one stand this!!!!!!
