2001 Mercedes SLK convertable cool car

Absolutely great work Nica, wonderful write up as well! I'm glad the Menzerna worked just as you had wanted!

No finishing with PO85RD? I know you bought some!
 
Awesome work there, Nica! FPII really cleaned up nice!! Great write-up and pics as well!!
 
Terrific job Carlos. Watch out Justin, Nica is turning pro.:)
 
Yea, I have been having trouble finding 3000 grit for a head light repair. I am going to call some body shop supply stores sometime next week, as I will have my car. The owner said the clear might be very thin.
 
Beautiful, just beautiful If I ever decide to get a Benz, it will probably be red of black.
 
joe.p - Yup it was CSI certified hahaha his wife bought him that. I was impressed with the shine but his clear coat was hard as a rock...good experiance though. Oh but not hard enough for wet sanding :righton:

ltoman - Yea 40hrs it was a long battle, the owner wanted it flawless and I was happy he was willing to help me out so I went all out on it. I can understand how you feel about your clear coat now Lauren. It's super hard wow, well I'm assuming he has the ceramic clear coat I honestly don't know. Owner is to confirm. I'm glad the write up helped you out some and remember you got my digits and e-mail's you know how to get a hold of me.

P1et - I was really temped to use the PO85RD but I wanted to see how the Final Polish II would do and it did great now I PO85RD is supposed to be better :eek: so looking forward on using it. Thank you for the compliments, this weekend I'll use it and I'll share feed back.

Rsurfer - Thank you for the compliments buddy but not even close to Justin, I'm to slow. I need to work on the timing but I really didn't mind doing it for my friend. Me a pro, not yet...maybe a few more years ;) but thank you for the compliments my friend.

sneek - Let me know if you find some 3000 grit sand paper, I'll pick some up. So thin clear huh, yea we need 3000 and we are going to have to be extremely carefull. Um...was it May 13 right? Just wondering I have May 15 in my head but that can't be right.

scottgt, alban61, FloridaNative, supercharged, thank you for the compliments the color of the vehicle is great it really stands out. My wife liked the vehicle and the paint. Thank you for the kind words.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed my write up becuase I feel that I blab on and that I completely get off topic and that it may loose it's purpose. Thanks for the feed back.

Hey sneek,

I used 2000 grit and then went over it with Menzerna PO106FF and it removed all of the sanding. I've been trying to get my hands on 3000 grit but no luck just yet. We should be okay with 2000 grit sneek.

Looking forward to it buddy.

Thank you for the compliment, we (owner and I) are quite pleased with the results.
Nica O'reilly auto parts has 3000 grit.
