This Sunday I detailed a 2001 Black CLK 430 that is a regular customer. Over the winter the car collected some serious car wash scratches and some mods to the body.

These were the least of my concern, because the aftermarket body kit that was installed on his car was recently painted and the orange peel was atrocious. I needed to wet sand the front fenders and the rear bumper, for the paint to match the factory panels.

Wet sanding on fiberglass without the comfort of a guage is reall hairy, but the owner insisted that we forge ahead, because the orange peel was soo bad.

and much of the afternoon on the project, both the owner and myself were estatic over the results. I absolutely love black !!!

Front fender completed...

In my estimate about 75 to 85 % orange peel was efectively removed, but I admit that I used resonable precaution with not taking off to much without a guage.

The owner stated that it the kit and the 18 inch wheel were a kit he purchased through MBworld.com forum, and the look grew on me by the end of the day.

A regular customer. I last detailed his engine bay last September, so it was a breeze.

I really like the sporty yet sophistication of the CLK interior.

I hope your Sunday was as fullfilling as mine. I love taking on a cool project.

Awesome job Clean Dean!!
I have horrible orange peel on one of my vehicles and I may just have to give in and try wet sanding it. The results you achieved are fantastic.
Simply awesome. I have yet to take sandpaper to my car, but your results tempt me. BTW - What did you use to get the shine back, and to seal?
That CLK is Schweeet - what`s not to love about the kit and tires? (other than modding a Benz is a sin in some eyes) -
is that the amg? - great article in Motor Trend comparing the AMG to the GTO ( 1 AMG for 70K or two GTO`s for 70K :lol) -
