    Here we have a black CL55 the paint was absolutely horrible, unfortunately we couldn't get the full story from the pictures, but the paint was scratched, swirled, spider webbing, you name it it had it, on top of it the paint looked milky before the wash.

    So what we had to do was, wash a couple of times, clay, SIP, PO85RD, and you heard right the NEW LUSSO (this one has more depth/gloss/durability) those where the main factors that I asked LUSSO to do with this new formula (no name yet) I would expect it to be priced at $99 to $129.95. They are looking to do a 10oz jar.
    Amazing it looks like another winner from LUSSO. We finished off by rinsing the car etc.

    Another amazing job! Were you using the CRSpotless? I didn't notice much sun in your photos until the end.

    no we just started super early in the morning and the sun started to peak out later in the day.

    if you can believe it I don't have the CR Spotless yet.

    I believe it but what I can't believe is how early you wake up! So exactly what time do you start your details, I'm curious. Maybe I should start doing the same.

    Exterior only.

    what are your thoughts compared to sv?
     
  14. detailersdomain

    detailersdomain Administrator

    sv is still better but this is pretty darn good stuff for the money.

    Which SV is better?

    I would say the application is a bit difficult, it pulls and you use a bit more.

    but the removal is easy and it looks great.

    Still would say concorso and mystery are much better.

    Very nice results there Phil, these vehicles are tough to polish, they are completely missleading. They look small but are not small at al :shakehead:

    Thank you for sharing and the new Lusso is looking good :thumb:
