THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!
 
All that with a UDM? I feel sorry for you and the UDM. You need to step up to a rotary to make jobs like that less work.
Turned out great. Did you give them a new broom to wash it with? Maybe a brick to use as a sponge.:D

Thanks mate...I have a rotary and i used it for some detals but i am still afraid of it...Sometimes i feel very comfortable with the rotary and sometimes not....
This car was imported from UK and it came directly to me before the owner saw it so i don't know who is the owner :D
 
Very nicely done, even more so considering the condition of the paint and the fact you used a UDM. You did prove that very good paint correction can be performed without reaching for a rotary, just a bit more time. Thanks for posting the picks, I'll be looking for the next one.
 
Impressive, you really brought the Benz back to life.

How did you polish inside the rear Benz star emblem?
 
Thanks guys...To be honest it takes much more time working with UDM than with a rotary : ) : )
I used scratch- X inside the rear emblem mate...Not 100% correction though but about 95% are gone...
 
THX, I will try Scratch X next time I have a large emblem over paint.

Thanks mate....Get ready to face a very very hard clear coat and a lot of surface to work on it :D:D:D
And if she is going to go to a car wash again take the keys from her :D:D:D
 
Great work Pampos, I am enjoying your posts very much!

If I decided to purchase a polisher and correct the swirls on my car I will be asking you about the mercedes hard clearcoat.
