Whats up guys, picked up this beautiful car the other day and had a go at it, car needed to be washed/clayed (was very dirty) and the interior took me a while to clean, doesnt look too dirty in the befores but it needed some attention, engine was also detailed, was pretty clean to begin with but looked better when I was done, my final process was as follows



Exterior

-Wash with nxt wash

-Clay with pinnacle poly clay

-Washed again

-PC with a white pad and Optimum polish to hood/fenders that had light marring

-Poorboys EX with caranuba to top it off

Interior

-scrub carpets, matts, door sills

-Aluminum polished, door jambs cleaned

-Leather conditioned/cleaned with Poorboys leather stuff

-Door panels treated with Meguiars Interior shine

-Vacuum

-ETC

Wheels quick detailed, tire shine, wheel wells were fairly clean, used some 303 to help them out a lil, exhaust pipes scrubbed with metal polish

All I've gotta say is what an awesome car, drove really nice and was pretty quick, would have given my mach a good run lol....
 
Really well done and I bet the owners were proud to see it come back like that! I wanted to ask what you use to clean the carpets with and what vacuum you use for drying? :thx



Again, nice job on the Merc! ;)

Thanks, yes the owner was very happy, next time I do the car its getting a coat of natty's, but anyways, I just use some regular old Turtle wax power out (oxy cleaner) spray a lont on there, let it soak in real well, then scrub the crap outta everything, and as for a vacuum, I just use a regular old shop vac that my dad has in the garage, nothing special, just takes me some time

haha yea I'm pretty short, I'm 5'5" but I'm only 17 lol
 
Don't feel bad, I am only 5' 5" as well. Can't worry about what I can't change. ;)



Excellent job on the CL55, even though it appeared to be in decent shape to start with, you made a very noticable improvement in how it looks all the way around. :)
