    Hi guys

    I hope everyone is staying warm this winter and your beloved ride is well protected from the winter elements.

    I have a 2010 M-Benz E350 in for it's first ever detail. It rained the whole day, so the car came with a lot of road grime. The owner only wanted a exterior protection detail, no interior detail was carried out here... The paint had a lot of contaminates and rear bumper was damaged, couldn't do anything about the damages. Wheels were filthy after years of improper caring, so I did my best to clean them.

    So here we go

    Very nice results! 845 is my first choice on white. :thumb:

    FWIW, a few spaces between images makes it a bit easier to scroll through.

    Nicely done! :applause2:

    Excellent work on that E class Franki!
    I like what you did with that "AMG" emblem on the wheels, that's what I call attention to detail!

    Nice job! As mentioned, can't go wrong with Colli on white. One tip, use a toothbrush and wheel cleaner to clean the lettering on the wheels while you wash them. Its way easier.
