a classic mercedes benz, commonly used by most business man

and the model u;re looking now, W210 E-class

a successor of the popular W124



well what we;re looking at, is how i restore a 14yr old STOCK paing



side view, looks good coz well washed by me all the time -.-





now u can see the paint fade which din reflect how the cloud looks



stock rims, kinda dirty



some scratches



there`s some scratches on rear boot as well, kinda small i admit



door handle scratches, n some unknown "zebra" effect



a 50/50, after i done all the process



process recipe:

wash with ONR

dried the car

clay with PG clay using ONR as lubricant for a smooth surface

using makita STOCK wool pad, compound the car with meguiar`s M105

then change to lake country cutting pad, using speed 1 to spread, speed 3 then back to speed 1

after compound, polish using lake country polishing pad with meg;s M205, speed 1 to spread, speed 2 then back to speed 1

after that seal the whole car with meg;s nxt 2.0 wax



as it was getting lake, i took these pic on the nx morning



i hav to admit, silver is harder to spot swirl marks



side view





scratches r gone, back wif more reflection



din manage to clear a deep scratch there if u notice



would b clearer to see the scar of this car -.-



1 week after i detailed her



comparison of reflection of paint, probably its duel to the age of paint



the sun, then hide behind the clouds



more reflection on the bonnet



the roof, 1 serious fading area which probably due to birds poo poo is once again shines



water beading that slides from the car paint





spent 5.5hours to detailed on what;s you`re looking

from 3.30pm till 9pm -.-
