For P1et - Mercedes W202 in Malachite green

here are some after pics of the rather novice work i did on my own DD
correction was done using Scholl S17 on wool and 3m perfectIt polishing pads
then the paint was refined with Scholl s40 on LC grey CCS finishing pad
LSP was 2 coats of 845 (shout out to 911fanatic and Gianni)


c pillars


this is the best i can do with the hood the hood was a bad respray, and there is a sign of clear coat failure i guess

close up of the hood

thanks so much for viewing ,

regards, Bob

 

Looks great to me

thanks, rwisejr, i still dont think its nowhere close as what u guys on DB achieve though

btw really sweet w208 u got there, whats the displacement?

 

Looks good to me too.. what year ?

 

mine's 94, 16 years and still goin strong

 

Mate, that looks fantastic, well done. I see you have German plates, where in Germany are you from?

 

thanks P1et, still need to work on my cleaning skills though, i dunno why, but i think im still using too much s17 for it to leave marks here and there like that. or maybe my waffled 3m polishing pad is causing the polish to do that?

btw if i have a friend who asked me for an advice to start detailing his car, products, pads, etc, where should i put this question in the forum? "detailing products" section? or "polishing n compounding" section? or even detailing school coz i figure this question would help alot of nubies like me n my mate.

ps: r u German p1et? no those are fake German plates, the merc guys over here like to wear that on their cars just to show the car's pedigree, the bimmer guys does it too. and that also explains the parking meter hanging on the windshield

 

No, I'm from Belgium.

 

Car looks great!

 

i see, well its great having this forum to learn. thanks to the moderators for their effort.

 

thanks 911fanatic, o i cant believe this, might sound corny, but, for me actually talkin to 911fanatic is like talkin to tiger woods if ur a golfer, or schumacher if ure an f1 fan, haha, seriously.. i learnt so much from ur posts, without u and other guys over here (like JLsdetailin, FMINUS) i wouldnt know what the hel scholl concepts nor collinite 845 is

 

Its a 320 and I need to update the pictures as that was taken before it was purchased .It has changed a bit since

 

"it has changed a bit since"

mmm sounds juicy, cant wait to see it

 

Nice job

 

some befores and 50-50 shots

 

the last one was after refined with s40 on a grey LC ccs finishing pad, me like flakes

 

sorry for the amateurish correction pics guys, i'll try to get better shots next time around

 

Now this is what i'm talkin green campaign , xixi". Go Greeny keep on shiny'... Nice Bro..:mounty:

 

Very nice Bob. I was trying to figure out your location due to similarities I noticed in the background to Thailand but now I Know. Again, nice work!

 

hey Bri, have u ever lived in thailand? yes the similarities are uncanny sans the nightlife
