A luxurious Merz S 550 , they got this ride fully imported (recondition unit) just over 1 year old.

severely wacked prior delivering to the new onwer, onwers of such ride, usually has driver to chauffer them around & maintain their ride....
i believe this car came with lots of swirls which damaged due to improper washing, prior delivering to the new owner, they agent might have sent to detailing
guess what they got...free HOLOGRAMMING

another wack by detailer......buy 1 free 1

the existing swirls was not eliminted but adding value added service & certain parts


For body corrections, swirls & rids...i used Makita rotary LakeCountry wool pad with Meguiars M#105 speed 1 to spread & speed 3 / 3.5 to correct
a multiple passes on different area

Then step down to Makita rotary with Meguiars Cutting pad with Meguiars M#105 speed 1 to spread & speed 3 to polish

Polish with Makita rotary LakeCountry CCS polishing pad with Meguiars M#205 speed 1 to spread & speed 2 to polish & speed 1 to finish

Poor MB. :cry: I know that black color was not easy since the Mercedes have thick clear coats on them.

Very nice save bud!! :props:
 
Amazing work kc! Another entertatining write up as well. That first 50/50 shot almost made me fall out of my seat!
 
Great job and nice write up. The before and afters were amazing... How many hours do you have on polishing this thing out?
 
Nice! I can't believe how bad those swirls were. Good thing the clear coat is so thick on those German cars, not sure you could have salvaged the paint so well on a Ford... Then again, I doubt anyone would ask you too either:)

Very nice save bud!! :props:


verily verily i say unto
black is a colour will make owner insane

& at the same time making other jealous of your looks

the issue here is not thick coat but hard ceramics coat

so hard & difficults to remove any swirls


have u ever tries to polish glass???? LOL giving u the same feel

thanks you sir for your kind words...initially my friends says pls get my interior detail & ext wax wil do

....she says ..".this is a better car i brought, as compared to rest of my car"
as i detail all their cars....i reckon it will be easy piece of Golf

but under 300 watt Halogen
TADA....my enemy swirls up


p/s mummy says never open a can of worms

there is good & bad thing on hard coat...good is that it has more resistance...bad when it is damaged....it is very hard to correct

thats the issue of hard paint

just like slicing ice with your skates
 
LOL

i will send u some then:dblthumb2::dblthumb2::dblthumb2::dblthumb2::dblthumb2:

cheeers

No thanks. I'm trying to put detailing vehicles to the side, kinda, to work on my new training, Clear Bras. If my clients want me to detail thier vehicles, then, they will have to pay my normal rates that I've posted, to them, in the past. :props: Im the MAN
 
Very nice work indeed.:dblthumb2:
thanks

tuscarora dave for your kind words
