◅ Mercedes S500 AMG 12 hrs of full body paint restoration by Sharkpolitur + detailing + Labrador Retriever that eats microfibers + fun pics & story ▻
Few days ago in my neighborhood one guy was spotted with Mercedes SL 450 looking for me, after passing face control ( which means he is no cop) he was forwarded to me, at this time I was visiting my friends stinky car care shop box, so we sit & talk fun when this guy parks his yellow submarine, comes to us all sweating & asks my Chico friend:
Hi, maybe you know the guy who details autos near Old Port TLV?
My friend looks at him carefully & after passing second screening he points to me (bustard) here he is.
I don't yet know what he wants so I am ready for everything.
Hi, I say.
He is little bit disrupted I think he was not expecting finding me, Hi I want to talk to you.
We go out.
So.
1Y ago you gave me your business card but I lost it, was looking for you few times before but without success. My name is this & that, I want you to detail my friends 2010 Mercedes...he also says that he detailed his & others cars in 2 very busy detailing places in Tel Aviv, but it was disappointing in 1 spot they do it very cheap & very bad, in the other very expensive but nothing special either.
OK, so here is my card (his hands shake when he receives it :laughing
forward him my phone I'll be happy to help if I can. What is paint condition?
Average. (It means not good, because in Israel paint is either very good or very bad)
So he leaves & his friend calls evening, we settle for Friday.
Sharkpolitur arrives to detail, the paint was very neglected as I expected, to the touch like a middle fine sanding paper, 0 water beading after Swiss clay bar that took 3 hours & wash & wax. Wheels & tires were in very good condition btw so here was easy. The dog was so nice from the beginning, he licked me & helped with the work by eating some microfibers, pads, brushes even machine polisher electrical contact, he took in his mouth stones & chew it like a bone, then he played football with it. I was totally shocked, also he is very strong body, he was pushing on me almost like beating :laughing: this is called by him fair play i suppose. It was 12 hours of fun & joy & very hard work of course.

The Boss
Working process preparing car care
Paint condition
Clay bar finished plus wash & wax paint prepared for restoration, no water beading, much work ahead
Process, swirls, holograms, scratches
In the first level I mixed different polish & wax products with different polishing abilities, about 5 or 6 different tubes & bottles. Started from the bottom left side on the hood. Basically this was a condition of all the car, only lower part of doors were not so burned by sun & car washes.
Some break for lunch ( the guys wife was very kind too & very sexy, interesting thing happened when I arrived, my new customer later turned a friend & a new member of Mark's Best Nano Polish & Wax Club, upon arrival he payed me upfront all the money & said: If my wife asks how much you charge for your work I told her a 1/5 or 20% of the price, just in case.
I was surprised he pays upfront (many of my friends I detail their cars & bikes do it as well but they know me & Shmuel met me first time without even seeing end result) after few minutes later he took his bike & left, came back only after 5PM & I started 8AM.
All the next pics will be final results, I used a soft black pad with 3 different products like polymer sealant, nano polish & carnauba wax, gloss preserver. Also I did interior, leather, gum door fittings.
