Optimum Car Wash Optimum Power Clean Menzerna FG400 and PF2500 BFWD and BFMS Carpro PERL and TRIX

To me, the Speed Master brushes are one of those 'must-have' tools. They're incredibly versatile, and they're pretty durable. The only thing you really have to watch out for is the tendency they have to 'splash back' when cleaning wheels, but otherwise they're great.

Your '67 looks amazing! I just ordered some HD Speed myself, along with Adapt and Poxy (I've been using strictly Menzerna). I haven't tried any of them yet, but I can't wait to after seeing this!

IME, the Menzerna SHC300 cuts more than M105.

Nice work bringing this one back from the dead! I had almost this exact car, only difference was mine had the M-sport package. I miss it a lot, and I'll have another if I can ever find a nice enough one.

Absent from this order is HD Adapt and Carpro SO2Pure, which ended up being backordered. I didn't get the free gift with my order, perhaps they were out- then again, I didn't check if there was an option to put one in my cart or not.

After a quick (1.5 hour) wash, we can finally see what we're working with:

Almost! Nope, just a barn for a long time. Oh yes, I have some experience with mold in vehicles and always take extra precautions. I have tons of proper clothing, as well as face masks, lots of ventilation, rubber gloves, etc. I'm just short of an actual Hazmat suit!

I will update this thread as work comes along, so please stay tuned!:dblthumb2:

As detailers, we sometimes run into cars that test our abilities. Whether it's finiky paint that swirls when you look at it sideways, an interior that's riddled with 10-year-old fast food and soda stains, or a high-end car that demands absolute perfection and nothing less, these situations are...

The Heavy Cut 1000 is for certain a 2-step compound, meaning you will have to follow up with a polish every time. I use it only with my rotary and a wool pad after wetsanding new paint, as it's an old-school compound (i.e. "rocks in a bottle") and offers more cut than FG400, but it's at the cost...

I personally like Blackfire Interior Cleaner and Interior Protectant in my AMGs, since they're safe for pretty much any surface and are still powerful enough to take care of most any stains. For the leather seats themselves, I like to use Leather Master Protection Creme after cleaning with the...

This is a huge reason why I bought my AMGs. They're both fast as hell, I have no qualms about driving or parking them anywhere (even WalMart), and the only people that talk to me about them is those who know exactly what they're looking at. Other than that, people just see another Mercedes :D

I have a Mark II 15 and use LC Thinpro pads, and I have yet to have an issue with heat or melting pads. I do run on slower speeds (4-4.5) and rotate pads after each panel, however maybe I am the exception rather than the rule. I'm glad someone started this topic, and I'll keep a better eye out...

I've heard great things about Ivan at LUSTR Detail in Schaumburg, if it's not too far of a drive for you.

Awesome work as always, Richy! Good to see that AMG done justice, especially since I've seen so many of them neglected. :xyxthumbs:

Nice work, Mike! The all-black polisher intrigues me... I could hazard a guess as to what it is, but I'll keep it to myself for now :buffing:

Just my simple 3 (for now): Vector Rotary GG6 v3 Rupes Mark II 15

X2! :xyxthumbs:

I just got the LHR15 Mark II myself, and I'm really happy with my decision. There's many spots on my cars where a 6.5" pad won't work well with, not to mention the longer throw. However, it really depends on what type of vehicles you're working on. If the majority is large cars and SUVs, the 21...
