  • Luxurious Hacked by a professional detailer, rescued by KC

    I am very fortunate again, counted worthy to help my friend to detail her luxurious ride.


    she wouldn't have sent to any detail but waited for me till my convenience
    she know what she want , the level of prefection

    my apologies for the delay...here goes the rest of the story


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

    This ride really caught my sight, and remind me as i have been maintaining my uncle previous S series. Great luxurious looking Ride......


    But under proper lighting......erchhhhh...arghhhhhh......


    swirls & later sent to a wrong hand..it got buffing trails (AKA HOlograming)


    another paid to wack Job


    in the worng hand
    this is what happen when it ended with a person with the wrong technic, marring the paint



    led torch is good to shine our hologramming


    halogen light is good shine out swirls


    look at the damage


    there are 3 isssue here
    the swirls caused by improper techniques & material use
    2ndly it was sent to detail instead the clear coat get burnt
    3rdly the pad could be dirty or the detailer did not wash & clay prior detailing...look at the round deep scratch..even rounded scratched





    pay pay attention to the hologram
    every pic depicts diffrently


    different strokes


    more


    inner compartment aat the gloove area


    clay


    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

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

    Then Meguiars NXT sealant wax...

        KC, great save on the Mercedes. It looks fantastic. I bet the owners were very impressed with your results.
        quality creates its own demand

            I am a amazed that a 'professional' can deliver a car that looks like that and take money for the work. Excellent job!

              Great work.

              Is it safe to say that your results are superior by virtue of your use of a rotary as opposed to a DA?

              Also, how many hours were involved in the project?

              Thanks!

                Wow, that paint was really messed up. Nice of the owner (and smart, too!) to wait until you had the time to do her car up right!

                    Thanks Bro
                    rotary vs DA.....i would just say rotary is harder to master...but has better cutting power....& able to correct sanding marks

                    DA is safe & might not be able to fulfil the able

                    but finishing is superb for armatures
