My son has been at it again and this time he kicked it up a notch. There will be significant consequences if we don't get it right. Today he brought home a SL600 V12 that has been in storage for some time. He asks "do you think you can help get this back into shape?" As any loving father would do, I agree. The following pics are before and a few highlights of what we have ahead of us.Today we gave it a good wash using optimum car wash 2bm w/ grit guard. Cleaned up the wheels and tires using ARO and topped tires with Perl 4:1. Hit the glass with megs window cleaner. A simple wipe down of the interior with a damp MF towel and a quick vacuum. Heck the floor mats still had the factory plastic wrap on 'em. As expected the Black finish was swirled with a few larger flaws. Baggy test was positive for clay necessary. The interior is spotless with the exception of scuff marks on driver side entry door, sill and seat base. I have a pretty good idea how I will approach the exterior finish. We will see what happens with the test spots. You will see a example of the worst of it, I think.
On the door pillar a hand polish w Menzerna 4500 handled that in a jiffy. I am thinking joy wash, WG clay, MZ4500 or WG Uber w/ grey or white LC flat pads, followed by WGDPS 3.0. With respect to the interior, the scuff marks have me baffled. I let some ARO dwell on a few areas and scrubbed with a soft brush., nothing, nada no better. any suggestions? Feed back please
