  • Mercedes 500E.....Very Pic Heavy!!!

    Here is a car that I absolutely LOVE! Do a bit a research on the designing and build of these 500E series, and you’ll understand why. Built buy Mercedes AND Porsche! Class and performance all in one! I was fortunate enough to be able to drive this car about 30 miles roundtrip, and let me tell you, even with 100k miles on it, It was still a dream to drive! Back in 1992, when this car was sold, it was the poop! Lol!

    Anyhow…. Full wet sand and buff. Sanded with air and by hand in some area’s. Started with 1000 gritt, then 1500 grit, and a final pass of 2000 grit. Then off to the rotary with a red SOLO wool pad, then MF disks on a G110v2 and M105. Topped with Wolfgng DGPS.

    Enjoy…

                Wow, that would be a fun skill to learn for me!


                After machine sanding, are all these corners and edges cleaned up by hand with the sandpaper?


                Nice work!

                  Awesome job Nick. Was that the original paint? Either way you've just made it 100x better. Great job once again!

                    Truly an amazing job. I know I have said this before, but your pictures are great and really show off your work.

                    Did you get a new lens for your camera, it doesn't look like the kit lens that came with the Rebel?

                          How nasty was the garage floor after that one? You seem to do a lot of these wet sand jobs. Spectacular results as always Nick.

                            Great Job there!
                            The paint in the "before" shots looks like a vinyl top! It demanded action and you brought it!!
