Well today i got a car that had really bad waterspots etched into the paint, it was also insanely swirled. The main reason it was brought to me though was that while driving on the freeway, a metal ring had flown from oncoming traffic and bounced off the hood leaving a deep scratch.

So,

Wheels: DP Cleanse All
Wash: DP Autobathe, DP Cleanse All
Clay: DP Clay + DP Clay Lube
Polish: 2 passes XMT4 w/ Orange Pad, XMT2 w/ White Pad
Wash: DP Autobathe
Wax: Natty's Blue via PC

Took a couple hours and got paid $200 :)

Tomorrow i might be doing a track car, so i have to get to sleep :)

If you look really closely through the swirls, you can see the scratch i was talking about haha

Well, it was a fun detail, I have to go to sleep now lol
 
Wow bro, you turned that paint around! Beautiful work! :applause: So I take it, it was a all nighter? Sleep well and get some good rest...
Tell me more about DP Cleanse All?
 
Banana bath hahah. That Mercedes looks great, the swirls scared me like a horror movie! Was that deep scratch too deep to remove it completely?

i worked from 7:30 until 10:30, then my dad and brother wanted me to watch silence of the lambs.....:confused: lol

i only polished the hood (because it had the worst watermarks and the scratch from the ring).

DP Cleanse all works on everything lol, it breaks down dirt and grime, gets rid of brake dust etc, it's by far the favorite product i have Im the MAN

thanks for the replies!


EDIT: Yes i couldn't get the scratch out completly (It took off some paint, and he did not have touch up), in the right light it is still slightly visible.
 
Looks nice, how deep was the scratch though? Were you able to completely remove the scratch?

Man you take some nice pictures, the one with the Cleanse all looks wicked.

Thank you for sharing.
 
Beautiful work on a beautiful car! And it's black! Love S-class.:righton:
