This was a free detail for my Accountant who has been very good to me and looks out for me. The paint was in terrible shape and looked more gray in some places than white. Unfortunately I still haven`t figured out my camera to show dirt on white although the firs picture shows it somewhat in the front fender and rear door.

The inside was a mess and all I did was vacuum and wipe the dash and clean the windows. It would need half a day to get it look presentable, but looks much better now.

Look at thos reflections!



Why did you choose a polishing pad over a cutting pad?

because the paint wasn`t damaged. It was only dirty and oxidized. No need for cutting.



Thanks!!

Wow! Real nice improvement! Good thing those single stage white Mercedes paint jobs are pretty thick because everyone who has one seems to let it go until it is badly oxidized.



Those hood shots are among the best I`ve seen of white paint! :bow

Great job! That white looks good. Not that it matters but they need new stickers on those tags.

That is amazing work! Superb!!! To bad you didnt do the interior, because that should be in the Xtreme detailing contest (Just not this months, LOL).

LightngSVT - thanks!I don`t think it was an Xtreme detail. Just dirt removal :D



vdog0531 - gracias!



General Lee - danke! I`ll let him know... that would be weird if it is expired.



Scottwax - thanks for the kind words. I actually offered my cervices to him. He doesn`t seem to care much about car care, although he did ask me how he should try to keep it clean. He was very pleased with his new finish.



Buick_guy1 - thanks! It is adjustable so it is all good. I am not in trouble.
