well a couple days ago i did an s430. it had some really bad sand type stuff all over it that wouldn't come off. the wheels were insanely dirty for someone who has only had them for a couple months! the wheels took the longest

Wash - DP autobath w/ schmitt/ lowes foam gun; Wolfgang Wheel Gel cleaner (1/2 the bottle lol) for the wheels

Clay - DP clay/ clay lube

Polished the hood - XMT 3/ XMT 1

Wax - Natty's Blue - love this stuff!

Interior - Vacuum, DP interior cleaner for all the stains and dirt build up, DP interior protectant for leather seats, steering wheel, dash/other vinyl.

Took 2 1/2 hours, went through a whole clay bar

Before:

haha nice pirex. can't believe you let your car get that dirty!

yea so i ran out of wolfgang tire gel cleaner stuff, hopefully the DP cleanse all we just ordered will do the job too!

thanks for the replies! :)
 
Its not my car! One I detailed ;) Never would let my car get that dirty :P lol
 
Very nice Merc. that's interesting about the paint oh and the picture you took is wicked showing the imperfection on the paint well done. You got some picture taking skills buddy.

The car looks really good.

Thanks for sharing.

Looks like you dipped that in a bucket of oil and let it sit.

That is some nice work, love the classic lines of the S430!
