2003 Mercedes S430 detailed.

**35TH LE** · 11-02-2006, 02:51 AM

I dont know what this color is called but if I was to guess Id say its called GORGEOUS!

Pretty clean car to start.. this specific customer usually washes the car for me before I arrive, no complaints.

He just bought this car for his wife and had me give it some lovin`. This is my 3rd car detailed for this gentleman.

This car.. well.. lets just say I now know what people mean when they say Mercedes paint is HARD! Wow.. this car was a pain in the UKNOWHAT.

Process:

-Pinnacle Poly Clay and Last Touch lube

-#83 and Edge 2000 Orange pad and PC

-#82 and Edge 2000 Blue pad and PC

-NXT and Megs Finishing pad and PC

-QD car after removal

-#38 on tires (LOVE this stuff!)

-Stoners on glass

-Flitz on chrome pieces

-Quick leather conditioner with Zymol Conditioner

Thanks!

1 whole pass on the whole car and in some areas I had to REALLY beat up the paint on a second pass. I mean.... I dont think Ive ever applied that much pressure to the surface on a car but this thing just took it and laughed.

excellent job.

The german paints are very hard and the clearcoats almost solid at times. I de-swirled a Porsche boxster at the weekend, completing 3-4 times with the rotary in some areas!!!

Love the poly clay, has great temp range, great for us UK detailers now its gone cold!

Welllllllllll if youre gonna twist my arm.

Im gonna hijack my own thread...hahaha.

These were taken after I washed it last and wanted to take some pics of the widened anniversary wheels. I had them widened 2" and put some BFG 315 drag radials on them. Im having the rear valance repainted because I hit a piece of tire on the freeway and split it. :angry
