    2016 Mercedes GT-S Detailed, The Nicest Car On the Road!!!!

    I had the privilege to prep a new 2016 Mercedes GTS for a new customer. IMO this is the sweetest car i`ve ever seen. Unfortunitely it was very overcast and rainy, so my shots do no justice whatsoever.

    Enjoy the ride, I know I sure did!!!

    First up some DP Suds and a full wash



    Next was IronX, and the old story stays the same, new cars can be full of Iron particles



    Moving onto tires, I used DP tire cleaner, Pinnacle Advanced Wheel Cleaner and DP Tire Coating. I also clayed the wheels as there was some kind of unidentifiable grit all over the rims. Rims were then coated via airbrush with Pinnacle Black Label Wheel Coating.



    Next was clay. Since the vehicle was silver I skipped the nanoskin mitt and went with straight up Pinnacle clay. Trying to get every last ounce of shine and advantage I can.



    Onto the prep, lots of small vents and places dust can go. Also took out the PE8 with 1" pads for the sweet side panel fins. Everything about this car is awesome.



    Here were the paint thickness readings



    Before and after Pinnacle advanced finishing polish using a Flex 3401 and black LC flat hybrid pad under the microscope







    Next was prep of the paint for a coating with Pinnacle surface cleaning polish. I love how this stuff is effortless on and off. Used a lake country hand microfiber pad.



    After coating application




    Next onto the engine. The hood on this car is massive! Almost 600HP under that hood.



    Next we concentrated on the interior cleaning everything as the owner gave the dealership strict orders not to touch a thing. First everything was wiped down using Sonax interior cleaner. It was then followed by Pinnacle Black Label Leather and Vinyl Coating. It amazes me each time I do a cockpit with this stuff, as each one comes out better and better. Coating was allowed to dwell for 5 minutes and all high spots were wiped down with a Gray Supreme Microfiber Towel. The combination of suede, carbon, and aluminum makes this one of the sweetest interiors for a sports car. The interior literally popped like black paint!






































    Here`s a care package I offer my customers who get a coating. Included is a carpro mitt, bucket with grit guard, guzzler drying towel, 8oz Black label shampoo, 8oz diamond coating detailer and 3 gold cobra microfiber towels.



    Every customer leaves with a folder of their paint thickness readings, vehicle report sheet, pictures of the entire job, product handbooks with stickers identifying all products that were used on their vehicle, their invoice, some business cards and most important a personal note thanking them for allowing me the privilege to work on their vehicle.



    As always thanks for viewing. Comments always welcomed and appreciated.
