Had a "superclean" mercedes in the shop that I am selling for a client, of course the car was previously "detailed" which of course means nothing....... So this car was a way to challenge myself on how I could make a ten year old BLACK car look incredible.



No before pics but the car needed extensive wool pad correction, and I spent extra time jewelling and glazing the finish.

Purged the tires of the stale old air and replaced it with nitrogen(tightness)

I have seen a lot of these older SL's and this is hands down the most amazing one i have ever seen. Excellent work Bob. You should be able to sell that no prob.
 
I'm sad...this is my FAVORITE Mercedes after the W140 S600 and if I had the money, I would buy it today. :sadpace:



Great work, though. :bigups
 
awesome work - the sun shots turned out great and the car still looks brand new inside and out. g/l with the sale!
 
Bob, great work as always. How are you liking that festool. is that Orbital or Rotary? Looks like another great tool for the arsenal.
 
Looks awesome, prolly better then what it looked like when it rolled out of the factory, and its 11 years old. Great work as always!

Barry it is an orbital, I still love my Flex but it is in the "shop" having the cord replaced. The festool is really powerful but really exspensive $420.00 over three years ago:eek:
 
Dammit Bob, those sun pics with the starry thing-a-ma-jiggies have convinced me that I need to buy a new camera! BTW, That's a trippy-looking picture here... makes you look dwarf-like... :)
