    Mercedes SL63 AMG

    2017 Mercedes SL63AMG
    3,100 miles
    577hp 5.5liter twin turbo V8
    0-60mph in 4.0 seconds, 190mph top speed
    Brilliant Blue Metallic, design edition




    This luxurious rocket came in to me for a little clean-up/TLC. The paint was very rough, had swirls, water spots, some scratches and scuffs and in general needed a caring hand to get it looking as it should!

    This was a ‘quick turnaround’ job. My client needed his vehicle back quickly, so I only had 1.5 days to work on it.




    Tools/chemicals/process/etc:

    Washed with Adam’s shampoo.
    Wheels cleaned with Adam’s wheel cleaner.
    Tires cleaned with Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
    McKee’s37 hydro blue was used to seal the wheels and calipers.
    Clayed with Griot’s medium mitt.
    Defelsko PTG.
    Scangrip lighting.
    Metro vacuum.
    Metro masterblaster.
    Flex 3401, Flex XFE15, Rupes 3” and iBrid.
    Misc. foam pads.
    Misc. MF towels.
    Griot’s fast correcting crème.
    Adam’s paint prep.
    Adam’s ceramic coating for LSP.
    Autofinesse glass cleaner.
    Pinnacle leather cleaner and conditioner.
    Pinnacle exhaust cleaner and brightener.
    Griot’s adhesive remover.
    McKee’s 37 high gloss tire dressing.
    Adam’s APC for engine compartment.
    Engine compartment trim coated with Adam’s trim coating.


    As always, thank you for looking and comments/questions are welcomed!

    Great job on a beautiful color. Those kick plates were absolutely trashed for 3,100 miles. How do people do that to their cars?

    Re: Mercedes SL63 AMG

    Sizzle Chest:
    Did the clay mitt and the GG Fast Correcting Crème remove the water spotting , since I see no mention of a specific water spot remover product?

    I agree with the above comment on the door jam kick plates. How DID you remove those scratches??

    When time is of the essence, do you take paint-thickness measurement reading in critical areas ONLY or do you still do your typical vehicle paint thickness measurements to avoid any possible correcting burn-through problems?? I guess my REAL question, how long time-wise does it take to do a typical paint thickness measurement reading (and I assume written recording) for you personally??

    As always, excellent job in the short time allotted by the client.
    You know, EVERY picture of the cars you do looks like it BELONGS in front of your home !!

    Thanks again for the comments!


    Lonnie: Kick plates were covered in adhesive!!! Dealer never bothered to clean them off after removing the factory plastic protection pieces.

    I still take my readings all over the car. I generally spend about 20-30 mins taking and recording readings. I think this is a critical step.

    And once again, thank you kindly!
