Im sure your thinking what can you do to a brand new 2009 WHITE Mercedes with only 5k miles on it?? Well, believe it or not, there is still a big difference to be made! As well as needed a good clay bar session to remove the fallout, the owner confessed to running the car through an automatic car wash twice and he paid the consequence. With only two washes, there were some very deep scratches as well as some surface swirls. The owner wanted these removed so that he could have a perfect swirl free car before applying a new clear-bra to the car. The car how it arrived, while it looked clean, it still needed some cleaning. I was thankful for the full glass roof!
There was quite a bit of tire sling as well.. I then taped off all the trim, rubber and plastic to protect it from being burnt.
In the sun, you can clearly see the defects, although it was hard to capture with the camera, let alone look at in the blaring sun! Here is an example of one of the deeper scratches from the carwash. And another. It may not look too bad, but trust me it was deep! Before. After M105/PFW Pad. Before. After M105/PFW Pad. In action. After M105/PFW Pad.
For the final wash, I looked up and realized I had a helper so I took a couple shots of him in action as well. He was pretty tame, letting me get within a foot from him before he even moved. And since we live in FL, it can be bright and sunny one moment, and then this can happen with no warning. Unfortunately, the customer had to drive it home in the pouring rain.
That is some fine work! Good looking C350 to boot, looking good! A pity he had to drive home in the rain, but let's be honest: don't we all love watching the beading as we drive through a storm?
I always hate when that happens, a perfect car then drive home in the rain, but nonetheless car looks amazing, im sure he was happy
Well done, I really like this Benz. By the way, what's up with it being two color? I assume that's glass roof with solar panels, right???
I dont know about the solar panels, but most of the roof was glass. I really like the way it looks with the two-tone black/white combo.
