My customer has a 2010 SL65 AMG Black Series coupe. Now that he has a storage facility for his cars, I can finally start working on polishing the car.
The car is in extremely rough shape, some of the worst swirls and halograms I`ve seen.
Anyways, I knew the clear coat was soft, but after doing some test sections, I am in shock at how soft the paint really is. I was using brand new microfibers (Autosmart yellow MFs from Amazon) and they were still marring the paint. I then switched over to the Eurow Shag towels and got a little better results. Even taping off the hood emblem induced scratches, seriously!
I`m afraid that I am going to be inducing more scratches once I start moving around the car and correcting the defects. I want to get the paint as close to perfection as possible, since the only protection I can see using on this vehicle is Opti-Coat or Aquartz.
Any advice as I tackle this thing? I know the process I`m going to use for removing the defects, but any advice for removing polish without inducing more scratches would be appreciated. I`m going to be ordering some coating products, so if I need to try a different towel, I can order something that yall recommend.
Thank you in advance for your help, this is a very very nice car and I really want to make it right again.
