    The car was a good customers personal daily driver. Not having it parked in a garage, and lots of trees meant it was dirty and contaminated. Also, most likely brush washes and improper wash techniques were used. Paint was corrected about 75%.

    CG CWC+ Zep Citrus Presoak (4:1)
    MF Chenile for paintwork
    Grout Sponge for lower half
    Diamondite Bug Remover Presoak
    Bug Sponge
    RG for badges and seams
    Peanut Butter (for the wax on rubber- worked wonders)

    Wheels
    RG Wheel Brush
    RG (SV Style) Brush
    Brown Royal 2:1
    MF Mitt (wheel face)
    EZ Detail Mini (behind spokes)

    Clay
    ONR Lube
    Ricardo Yellow

    Polish
    PCXP
    LC 5.5" +4" Orange
    Menzerna SIP (left the finish great on the hard paint, but also removed a good amount of defects)

    Sealant
    Menzerna Power Lock

    Interior
    ZEP High Traffic Carpet Cleaner

    I should really start to take pictures of my work. I did a 2003 E500 two weekends ago and it would have went well with yours and Franki's Benz.
