Hey guys, I just got through with my CLK (exterior). It was clayed ans SMRed about 2 months ago, so I applied GEPC (great stuff!) and then 1x of Souveran (also great stuff :D ). The depth of the black is unreal...and this is just in garage lights. I can`t wail until tomorrow to get a good look at it. I`ve posted a few night pics in the gallery. I`ll take more in the daytime tomorrow. Let me know what you think.

BTW. The garage is a mess...I`ll get around to it :D Also, don`t mind the gold minivan in the background, it`s definately not Autopia worthy right now. :D

Hey Cody, thanks for the kind words. I`ll take more pics tomorrow in the daylight. The new convertible looks really sweet. I almost wish I waited for it...but the pillarless hardtop design is pretty cool too. :up

Dang...I need to get filthy rich so I can have nice toys too!



Great job on your car-paint looks liquid! I`ll be looking for the outdoor shots.

I just uploaded some more daytime pictures. I wish I could capture the depth of the paint..it`s really something. Zaino definately didn`t give me this on black. It`s hard to describe...it looks like a big pool of water. I love GEPC and Souveran!

I have to bow in another post... I just noticed that "pillar-less" design, it looks really nice with the windows down. :up



And, wow, that car has NO swirls. Be careful MB black scratches and swirls very easily.



I LOVE your car, thanks for the extra pics and keep up the good work!

Thanks again for all the compliments. :) Souveran was soooooooo easy to use, I`m probably gonna throw another coat on to see if it gets any better. I just can`t believe how much better GEPC + Souveran is on black than Zaino...it`s no comparison. The color is so rich and deep and just as reflective. I love it!

500amg,



Once again, beautiful pics of a sweet looking car! :xyxthumbs



I have to agree with you. For dark colors, as long as the car is well polished and prepped, Souveran is such a great wax to use. Wipe on, wipe off and watch the liquid reflections appear :D



I am glad you found Souveran, I know I am.



Keep up the black liquid reflections!
