  • 08 CLK 63 Paint Correction

    This car had been "detailed" by a local dealership. This dealership happens to sell expensive european cars...which I find kinda crazy. Car happens to belong to my ex gf who asked if I could help "make it look better." This was 6 months ago...and the first car I'd ever attempted to "polish." All of my work was done after reading a few internet blogs using m105 and m205 over a 20 hour period. Needless to say, I was pretty wimpy about leaning into the clear coat...and took a very non invasive approach during the first few hours. Thankfully, it turned out ok and looked great until she crashed it doing 110mph.


    A few before shots.











    Scratches were really deep...which isn't easy to do without extreme neglect given how hard this clearcoat is.


    Here are the after pics...


    I wasn't shooting for total correction because some of the scratches were really deep. Basically, 75% correction was acceptable for the owner.











    Scratches are still apparent in this picture...








    Basically, the process was m105 and then m205.


    Then, a polish, black diamond sealant, and coated with a wax from detail king.
