Mercedes SL500

[christian900se]

I had this beautiful Mercedes SL500 to clean today. As you can see, it was in great shape to begin with as it is always garaged and I detailed it 3 months ago. I went ahead and used DP wash+gloss, dryed it off, put a layer of wax on, and dressed the tires.

Products and Process:

-Wash DP wash+gloss
-1 layer of P21s 100%
-Quick wipe-down of FK 425
-Black Magic matte tire shine
-Mother's chrome polish on the exhaust

Befores: (again, not bad)

Shabby touch-up job from the local MB dealership, will be wetsanded and buffed at a later date

And the afters (used a better camera this time around)

Thanks for looking, comments and suggestions are welcome!

GOD DAM! That is a great reflection in that hood!

It helped that the sun was able to come out, changing colors and bright light are awesome for reflections!

WUNDERBAR!! I love that color on the SL's. You really brought out the depth of the finish.

:wow:
Was it indeed the Samsung Memoir? (Photoshop says it was). If so, I am switching to T-Mobile just for it!

Those afters look beautiful - great job!

Yes sir, I find my Memoir camera is really picky as far as what settings you use in different situations. It takes unbelievable picture quality, but you need a steady hand haha. I kid you not I took this picture with it on my trip to Socal:

Nice pictures period-and from a phone no less!

Thanks! I really want to get a DSLR because I hate taking pictures of cars and seeing them in person but putting it on the computer and realizing that they don't reflect the actual appearance. But this is a nice phone/camera for the meantime!
