#2 - 2005 Mercedes Benz S55

[SRHTX]

Well, here is one of the other vehicles. It's a 2005 MB S55. It has less than 50k miles on it. This is the one SHE always drives vs. the GL550. She is also glad that I moved back down to Harlingen to take care of her vehicles since no one has been able to, correctly. Hey, I get better each time I work on a vehicle as each of you do. :cheers:

I'm not sure what I will do with it at this time. Today, I will detail the interior of the sedan. Here are some of the interior pics.

The 1st two are where it site at, sometimes, at thier company.

These pictures are in my area of town.

Here are some of the interior pictures. This is what I will be working on today when it cools down outside OR when there is shade from the sun backing the paint and myself. Uh, do you think this door panel needs to be cleaned off? he he he

Haha, nice I love the carpet. I like details where the persons cars are rarely touched because that means you are generally dealing with less imperfections.

Look at that last picture carefully. It took over 1/2 an hour to clean that freaking thing. She knows I came back at her for what she does. LOL Her, and her husband, like me. I even talked him into repainting the whole '89 Jaguar XJS Cabrio and put new tires all the way around. he he he

me wearing a nice sweat band
Folex
303 Aerospace Protectant
Woolight w/ Distilled Water
Bissel Steam Vac

Tomorrow is the exterior!!

I did everything door/seat by door/seat. I did the carpets 1st. Seats 2nd, Doors 3rd. Dash 4th.

I have to clean the inside windows tomorrow. I left the MB in the garage with the windows just a tad down. Not sure why I do that since I can't smell anything. LMAO!!!!! j/k .... true but j/k

The carpets! Really, good job on that. Black interiors show every minute spec of dust or dirt, its not easy work for sure.

I just went into the garage to look at the exterior. The garage is still over 100 deg inside it. I think I will be able to get away with a wash, clay and buff. I just have to think of which polish to use on the exterior with my Flex. I could use the Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection on it. I've used that on most all of the Mercedes Benzs' I've done since I bought the Flex. That Four Star has done well and has held up.

Please give me some feeback on what YOU would use. Feed back please

Man. Have I ever mentioned I hate detailing WHITE VEHICLES? DANG. lol It took me over 1 1/2 hours to wash the darn S55. There was road tar in several places. There has also something read, looked like ketchup, on the rear bumper panel. Those AMG Rims were a big mess as well.. Oh well. I will have lunch and cool down. After that, it's clay time then the Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection. The paint work is in much better shape vs. their MB GL550.
