The owner of this SLK55 came to me off of Autopia, and he was looking to take his SLK55 from an excellent finish to a perfect one. Before the polishing it had only light marring from washes and one deep scratch on the hood - the average person would have thought of it as perfect. It had the 30 handling package - stiffer suspension, bigger brakes, etc. Sorry no after sun shots, as I didn`t get done until it was getting dark. The ceramiclear on this one was as hard as a rock - I swear its harder than the other ceramiclear cars I`ve done.
