Long story short me and Hamza got a chance to detail this badboy. Swirls weren't terrible but there were many rids and deeper scratches the owner wanted taken care of. Paint was on the low side reading around 100-120, and it was odd to see so little metal panels on the car in general. 2 Meguiars microfiber foam pads later and 9h, it was completed... and then the rain came along. The front of the hood was wet sanded to remove deep scratches and marks. Products Used: CG Citrus Wash and Clear Brown Royal Wheel Cleaner 2:1 ONR Clay Lube Ricardo Clay IronX OPT Opti-Bond CG Barebones OPT Metal Polish P21S Polishing soap M105+M205 Permanon Platimum Blackfire Wet Diamond Before shots: That german brake dust... Could definitely look better! Swirls on swirls And again... The plan of attack for the wheels. Going to battle it out. During Shots: When do you foam? "When I get bitten by a stray dog." DIY foam gun does the job alright, its dwelling! Sun made its visit a few times... German rivalry across the street. Nasty wheels, and MB really chose some horrible lug nuts they look 30years old already!! Looks clean enough to you right? Wrong! IronX doing it thing on the barrels. SHINY!!! No dressing yet though. Real thick mitt! Super soft too, easily gets into all the crevices compared to a sponge. Exhaust before... After. It was actually very shiny, but it was warm from the drive. Oddly enough this side was cool, and looked a ton better during photos. Post-Wash. Its just the photos... paint was far from perfect. Trying to get get it bleeding... black is very impossible to see IronX working Photo creds to Hamza. Getting that polisher going! Fantastic correction but M105 on its own left some hazing. Before... What. A. Mess. After... cleared up perfect! Alas, looking like it arrived from the showroom. Perfecto! Finishing touches on the beast. After Shots... Getting late... short on time. Sun shots another time Paint was glowing! Thanks for looking!
Here some pictures I took, Wetsanding stage I went after, boy was it a bad idea...Luke was done almost 3 panels as fast I only did the hood That's one of two MF pads that blew up on me What ever makes Luke comfortable during polishing during the session is up to him I'm sorry, it was my first wet sand so I can't get enough of my own work
Looks pretty good in the end. With your timeframe, wetsanding was definitely not a good osea. On rop of thia Hamza cleanwd the interior of a ml500 for me. Nice work boys.
great job! This is why I don't even wanna bother with mf pads. Breaks, so you buy a new one so our technicians can hqve a job.
Thanks for the compliments guys, I finally got the perv cam working [video=youtube;_uDHQ08Wk_A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uDHQ08Wk_A&feature=plcp[/video]
