This its our other vehicle so I wanted to post up some shots I took today. I had already previously clayed and polished it up with Menzerna PO85RD in the summer after we got it new from the dealer. It just needed a fresh coat of sealant since it was July 1 since the last application.

I did the entire vehicle then let it sit for about 30 mins after it was all applied and then removed it starting from where I started and ending where I ended. I still applied it in sections just didn't remove it till later. I think letting it sit a bit longer ensures better bonding to the finish, not only that I was still just as easy to remove or easier than removing when working in sections. Not only that this time I used a 3 oz bottle and put only 1 oz of Blackfire Wet Diamond in it which was 1/3 of the bottle, let me tell you it was more than enough to do the entire ML 350 and if you know the Mercedes ML 350 is a mid sized SUV. I had to pour what was left back in the 16 oz bottle it wasn't much left, but that just goes to show you that all you need is 1 oz or less than 1 oz of product do do your entire vehicle. Heres the pictures. Let me know what you think [
nice work...love working on mercedes paint, mercedes in general clean up nice. FYI i apply my lsp the same way, seems like it is easier to wipe when its dried completely, i do make exceptions like with 845 and really strong sealants.
great work. i also use the same method for applying waxes and sealents, if they allow for it. also by doing it this way i feel it can be more productive. while it is curing i can dress the tires ,clean the windows and other things that need to be done.
I have also used that method in the past. Not sure if it is true or not but in my mind i think the same way . . . . the extra time gives the product a better opportunity to bond to the paint.
Thanks everyone I was hoping you guys would like the turn out Ken I will try that out next time maybe let it sit for an hour or longer it time allows me to.
