After being a day late & driving my schedule into a frenzy a good customer of mine dropped off his beat to shreds daily driver Mercedes S550.
Sad, but happy, why? This car is my official last detail in the great state of Massachusetts as I move to a much bigger operation in my home town of Long Island, NY... I always had a dream of opening my own shop and getting out of my house garage and in 2 weeks once construction is done, i'll be opening a beautiful state of the art 2 car shop with all the bells and whistles.
This vehicle as you will see was in tough shape. A real swirled up mess with dull black paint.
The trunk paint was lacking any life
I had to Dr. Colorchip and wet sand the front bumper as it too was a mess
Paint thickness readings were as follows
Test spot was performed on the right side of the tape line using G21 with a Boss Foam Microfiber Pad and Griots Fast Perfecting Cream. As you will see the color came back to life fast!

Next we tackled the interior. It received Pinnacle Interior coating on the cockpit instrument panel, C-Quartz Leather on the seats, G-Techniq Fabric on all mats and carpets. First we lit the interior up a bit using a new tool. Quite handy
All customers receive their before & after pictures, paint thickness readings, catalogs for products used and a few samples of products for them to try.
Coating 22pleVX Pro 2 was used and cured via infrared lamp. 22ple VS1 Final Coat was applied after coating was dry. I must say, for customers who are willing to pay a premium for this application, they are sure getting their money's worth. The coating is flat out stunning and truly makes paint drip with gloss and shine. 22ple VX Pro Glass coating was applied to windows, and Pinnacle Black Label Wheel Coating was applied to all rims.
Thanks for looking as always, comments always appreciated. I'll be signing off for a bit until my new operation is up and running.
