2010 Mercedes CLS 550 Correction

I was called in to save another car from the clutches of hackness. The onsite lot jockeys made three attempts to fix this car but made it worse everytime they touched it.

Rear bumper. This is where the heaviest damage was inflicted.

Fantastic save Richie !!

 

Awesome job I just love the look of these over all the other merc's

 

another awesome Job Richie!!

 

Great work and nice save!

 

A black pearl, thats what it became Great job!

 

So I guess that scratch resistant nano ceramic wiz bang paint that Mercedes was pushing a couple of years ago wasnt so scratch resistant after all huh?

Nice Job. I've said it before and I'll say it again, when black paint is right, nothing compares.

Thanks for sharing with us.

great work!

 

amazing job there, I just love the restrained elegance of the 1st gen CLS. I'm kinda worried that the new model might be to"in your face" compared to the old one.

 

Yes i also like the understaded look of the car.. i dropped into my benz dealer yesterday and i'm luving the wing doors that just pop up with the touch of a button. What i didn't really like was the fact you needed to use your hands to shut them.. that kinda dissapointed me a bit.. but overall love the car..

 

Looks dripping wet. That car is so nice. Id love to have as a DD.

Great job on the "restore", hope the owner maintains it.

Love the rims.

 

Beautiful car and nice work bringing this one back from the dead. Bit of a shame for the new owner, buying a vehicle that's already been heavily corrected four times...

 

you do some great work.
I think it's very cool how you're on call for a dealership. it's sort of confusing though. they hire their crappy cleaning (not detailing) people but then they call you in. they call you in because you make the car the way it should look, all while their workers are harming the cars. but it's good ole' job security for ya, can't argue with that!
