Client this past week brought me his wife's 2005 SLK 55 AMG for a one-step correction along with a full basic interior/ exterior treatment with a Paint Sealant application to finish it off. The client had seen my previous work on the brilliant black Audi S4 Avant I had recently done this week as well and has also scheduled his other Mercedes for the same treatment in the future.

Before: Afters: (65- 85% achieved) Few random deep scratches remain of course A nice 50/50 after the one-step pass: The front bumper had recently been re-painted and the owner was dissapointed in how the shop finished down the front, Luckily I knew it would be an easy fix. Sanding marks galore.....and of course one section was even burned through..........pat on the back to the guys in the body shop hauling the rotary around :vomit: The sections still burdened with sanding marks were so evident that even from ten feet away you could see the color difference. Befores: After a pass with 106 on my PC with a small 3.5 pad: After a little over 7 hours and 10 water bottles later: Thanks for looking! Great car to finish out a busy week! -Dan K.
