2010 Mercedes E550 – Full Paint Correction (South Florida)

I detailed this owner’s 2008 BMW 328i about 2 years ago; he recently just purchased this E550 and wanted to have the paint corrected. When first looking at the vehicle outside in the shade it didn’t look to bad, but once we put it under the lights the paints true condition came out and it wasn’t pretty.

Products Used:
2 5-gallon buckets with Grit Guards
Auto Geek Foam Gun
Cobra MF Mitt
DP Wheel Cleaner
1” Boars Hair Brush
Long Handle Green Brush
Daytona Speed Brush
Meguiars Hyper Dressing 1:1
Ardex Fine Clay
DP Rinseless Wash and Gloss (Clay Lube)
Griots Garage DP
Flat Orange LC Pads
Flat White LC Pads
Flat Black LC Pads
Flat Blue LC Pads
M105
M205
CG EZ Crème
WG Paint Sealant 3.0

Wow great turn around that was nasty under the lights. Boy what an ugly car when done tho huh.:xyxthumbs:
 
Shawn,

When the car arrived it looked like any other black car on the road. Your product selection combined with your detailing skills put it a level above all the rest. The E550 is dripping wet and the reflection is one of the finest I've seen in a long time....

Thanks for posting! :props:

Do you need to wash after a compound/polish? Or can you use a waterless wash,APC, IPA wipe down??
 
I like to foam it down and wash it with a good car wash soap to prevent any scratching.
 
Turned out amazing, I love the way the 205 finished down that black- what pad did you use with it?
 
Would would like to know aswell, I have a black truck that is worse than the MB.
