This Benz needed some love as you all see the befores.. No need to explain how bad it was. It was worse then you guys think. This first pic is how I seen it on arrival.. It was standing under trees for some time and some sprinkler was washing it for a long time. Only sanding was the only way to go. Runs were removed very very carefully by razor blade, then wetsanded with 1500, then 2000. Waterspot were wetsanded with 2000, then with DA and mirka 3000. (The doors were also resprayed sometime before) a lot of polishing with rotary Makita and wool pad. M100 Then Rupes 21, with rupes green pad also m100, then finished it off with the rupes yellow pad and m205. Then waxed with Meguiars NXT 2`0. Rims were polished by hand and m100 on microfiber towels. Sprayed and wiped off with quick detailer. Exhaust sanded off with old mirka 3000 sanding pad but by hand then polished with m100 and microfiber pad.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/6864780bfc82a90deaf02cb1049775e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/4751204c67bdad5c32834abe96595e68.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/05d745531ddd07c29563c0da0adec34d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/d9c5e477b7a5466c606ef7103af45c3c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/1a43dff5c50adc9524de9f2b48d36b90.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/19810075d903a4ee6156619e2723eefe.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/6ccfb8d45c8e238af50dbc31fe0b070c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/0dd4cf6a757d2a68b33055997f669178.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/03f82852c17b71b245170b239d4ab91c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/3dba45de2570923bfb826a60b2e29e67.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/ccab827c50daf7e1f7f53b3505110abd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/7bbb700e7010466848e55c52219058c7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/f6a927daf4cc607bb56316c80efec0bf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/9593c7f37130e6f2bd81a4d2963db9b2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/89742dfca0d5e82d938be6c5dc580316.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/3e43566bf92748a43798c6e76e82f9b0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/23d0bbea3233dfb798018c1abcd74220.jpg

Nice job. You probably added about $2500 worth of resale value to that car.
