This one had light swirl marks that gave the paint a hazy look. I didn`t get any good pics of the paint before though.
I used Auto Magic BC-2(light cut) on a white pad and topped it off with Z2.

Can I create more mirror like finish on MB`s paint?
I don`t like the 2nd to the last picture.......
I used VM, EX-P and Natty`s Blue and it still looks like that
even though when you tilt your head at certain angle it looks like a mirror
Nice turnaround, car looks excellent in the finished pics... :up

Yeah I`m pretty suprised at the orange peel on most of the Mercedes and BMWs I`ve detailed. You would figure their paint would be flawless, but that`s not true in most cases.Originally Posted by Dave KG
Wow, major turn around. That is some deep gloss.......wet depth too.
I guessing PC work?
I would enjoy reading more on your processes.
Awesome finish there; again I didn`t think those wheels would turn out to be polished from the before picture!
ha i always thought orange peel means paints are peeling off (oxidized)
thx for clearing that up......yah I detailed my Acura and Toyota didn`t see much of orange peel effect; however MB has it all over the place....
oh well....still look great ...good work

I hear the orange peel is from the lack of time the paint has to actually cure before the car is sent outside.
wow, very nice reflection shots!

Yep a PC on number 5. Working in the BC-2 leveler for around 3 minutes on about about a 1 x 4 foot section then wiped clean with a microfiber towel.Originally Posted by justin30513
