This car is a 2002 Mercedes Benz ML500 that spent a week in cape cod parked on the beach. It was also driven all around new england prior to its last wash. Well the rims were black and the car was white (from salt). here are the before pictures.

The rims came out amazing, i spent approx 30 minutes on each one, did the inside and out of them, WITHOUT TAKING THE WHEEL OFF! The car had 3 coats of SG on it and I added a P21S topper to it. EO tire wet on the tires, and i used simple green to clean the wheel wells. I used the puterbum washing technique to get the salt off, took me 3 hours just to wash! Yikes. here are the afters.

Silver all the way through!

Zaino vs. klasse :D , Our ML (the one with the gray trim) is very dirty so it is an unfair comparison imo. but cool pic otherwise!

Mmmm, mmmm, good! Great job, Ali! I love the details... squeaky clean wheels, detailed tires, clean wheelwells, reflective brake calipers, shiny exhaust tips, swirl-free paint...



:up :xyxthumbs
 
Now that is one shiny Benz! Real nice work. If you ever find yourself around northwestern NJ with nothing to do...I could sure use some pointers from a pro!:bow

you should have recorded something else, if u know what i mean ;) . BTW only like the all black thing for the sides and rear, he has the silver chrome grill. :D :D just playin william.
 
You may have seen me this past week.....I have been driving the 'X this week. I did wash it this past friday, but actually it has not been detailed since we got it in March :shocked

I do always QD with Z6 after a wash and it has done a pretty good job at keeping it looking good! I just haven't had time to do a full detail....after seeing the ML above, I should just have you do it!!
