OMG,

Amazing work! That car is unbelievable! I saw it at the auto show sitting next to a roped off and guarded SLR. No way around it.... this car looked so much better and the POWER!!!!!!
 
Phil I hear you, an HRE P-43 or C-20 in textured black on this car= $$$$$$$. Another save by Rich and his crew as this car was the typical dealership prep and for a car this exspensive $300,000.00 plus by the time the dust clears it is amazing they let the car out the door this way.



Get back to it this Thursday after a long layoff, although I did a Lexus LS460 L last Friday(the one day it did not rain in almost a week and a half) it figured the first car back would be a BIG sedan, but the car was silver and was not a good before and after write up candidate.





First four cars on the line up are BMW Z8, 599, audi R8, 430 coupe. Pics to follow.
 
da da da da da im speechless nice car nice work! what a elegant car. how else do you say i made it in life ya know!!! bob outstanding as always!!!!!
 
My gloss-it crew really did some nice work on the car. It was ashame that this car was delivered in this condition right from the factory.



Bob wanted to share this unique and beautiful car with autopia members, but all work was done by me and my Gloss-it detail crew.
 
My absolute favorite MB ever! I have read every magazine article I can get my hands on about this car. Great detail too btw. Looks beautiful. :goodjob
 
Hey, great job!



I'm assuming that it had the MB ceramiclear coat on it. Did you find it difficult to correct? Also, interested to know if you saw any orange peel on it.



Best,
