Hey all, first time with bosch unit i got from damian. But not first time i've used zaino (used it for the past 3ish years)



Anyway steps were:



Wash - Megs NXT car wash



Clay - clay magic (the little blue bar)



Menzerna IP with blue edge pad + Bosch



Menzerna FF with white edge pad + Bosch



Wash - Dawn + little NXT soap



Zaino, Z1 followed by Z2. Next dayish Z6 then Z5



Obviously not completly done arches etc but u get the idea. My mums overseas atm getting me some more edge pads cos I would have liked to use maybe a green or yellow on some spots but I think it came up good

Looks good!



But you missed the rim around the fender ;)



And I like to spray the fenderwells with diluted tire-shine, makes them look brand new...



And tire shine that mofo!



(I do all this before polishing, then the end result looks perfect as soon as you're waxing it... Much better for self modivation ;))
 
The SL looks excellent, but I'd have to say the same as Stumpy...black tires and wells can make a dramatic difference. I just detailed my Astral Silver 560SL this past weekend, but man I really wish it was red like yours...I just love the wow-factor of black and red cars.
 
Hey, thanks not my car tho :( I used dads as the test run :). As for the wheel wells yeah ill have more pics up on sun of the complete job.
