  • Mercedes S500 Gets Detailed

    This is a daily driven S500. It has swirl marks every which way and also needed to be clayed badly assuming it has never been.

    This is before washing, underlayed with a high volume of swirls.


    Overall vehicle before the washdown.


    Afer the wash, this is how the corner of the hood looks.


    This is a shot of the trunk with what seems to be scuff marks. they look like they are from brown paper grocery bags being placed there several times.


    So, i started to clean up the paint, the panel on the right is cleaned with MG#80 and the panel on the left is still left untouched. The difference is pretty clear.


    Here is another shot from a further distance.


    This is a large car, so after getting some dinner, i finished up the car when the daylight was no more. Here is a shot of the hood.


    Here is the entire driver side.


    Here is the trunk, much cleaner than before.


    Another shot of the driver side from the rear side.


    This is a good shot with the light following the lines of the hood and fender. These are very difficult to capture at night with ample lighting. These following shots are after the sealant has been applied and removed after 20 minutes.


    Here is another shot of the boot at a different angle. This captures the results much better.


    And finally, this is a shot of the rear quarter area of the car.

    top work!

    how many passes of 80 did you use on each panel?

    iwould of though 80 would of been too mild for the cerami-clear on the mercs
