Wheel lip and face then hand polished with Autofinesse tough prep to brighten the wheels and sealed with tough coat.
Tires dressed with Meg HD 3:1

Beautiful detail and awesome car! I own a 2012 ML350 and the color is called Diamond White, a tri-coat option paint that was expensive but well worth it. I can not tell from the pictures if this car is the MB Diamond White or their Arctic White. The difference between the two is subtle in shade but very noticeable in direct sun or under street lights. Do you know which it is?
