Freshly Detailed Black Benz

[raugusta]

Detailed this black MB E320 today.....I did a complete detail last year to remove the swirls/scratches but the owner brought the car to automatic car wash again after I detailed it......



The black paint has no clear coat and it`s pretty soft. Got rid most of the swirls with DACP followed with S100 SEC (both using PC)



Here are the pictures

that`s so sessy! I assume yellow pad with DACP?



you didn`t feel like adding anything in between DACP and S100 like some kind of glaze?

olooks dope!

Nice reflections. How about a bi-weekly maintanence plan to avoid the auto`s? That would help elliminate the heavy marring.



What did you use for the DACP? PC, Rotary, Cyclo, Hand? You really did a good job. S100 is hard to beat for the price. Especially with results like that.

I hope the customer valorate all this work.



How many pases with the DACP?



What did you use on tyres?

C`mon now, I thought it was ridiculous when all those import drivers put those huge HONDA or TYPE-R stickers on thier econo-cars...but a huge COCA-COLA sticker on the Quarter Panel of a Mercedes:shocked What was that guy thinking:nixweiss



;) J/k that looks awesome. Great comparision shots!

Thanks for the comments!!



I used DACP with yellow pad and followed with S100 SEC with yellow pad, then finally topped with S100 wax by hand.



sw20_og: I used S100 SEC with white pads before waxing. I thought SEC is some kind of mild polish/glaze....



teamvegas: I used PC.





aqua: Two passes on horizontal panels and one pass on vertical panel. I did not completely remove all the swirls/scratches but I managed to take out most of it.....The owner put tire shine himself. I think it`s Meguiar`s something but I`m not sure. He told me not to put tire shine since he wanted to do it himself....



fireberd350: It wasn`t a sticker...It was a reflection from a nearby vending machine.

I`m no fool! I was just messing around b/c the reflection looked so clear it looked like it was part of the paint:xyxthumbs
