  • 2004 Mercedes Benz SL 550~ One Step correction with M20

    I did this black Mercedes today, its five years old and only has 456 miles. The owners wife hardly ever drives it, but she likes it when I give it a full detail every month. It doesnt need it but I do what I get paid to do.

    Anyways, the car had barely any swirl marks, but there were still some light ones on the hood and trunk. The paint was soft enough that I was able to get away with #20 - Polymer Sealant on the D.A. M20 is a very nice product I enjoy using, an awesome light duty cleaner wax with great beauty and great protection. I think I like it more than M21. I do know that this car liked it a lot.

              456 miles on an '04. Should've known it belonged to that guy. Great job on the Benz!

                Tuck, this guy would probably save money by just paying you a salary. Although from the looks of it, he's not too worried about saving money.

                It is sad for me to see such a beautiful car sit for so many years. It should be driven, not sitting. Oh well, I guess when you have so many vehicles to drive, they're not going to all be driven.

                      No, this guy just gets bored when he does not spend money.

                      He recently purchased a $600,000 thousand dollar motor home, and some scaffolding to help me detail it.

                        Nick, are all the garages in the first and second pictures all his? This guy has an amazing setup. You're a lucky guy to be chosen to take care of all his toys.

                            That's awesome, Nick. If my dream came true, it would look something like that. I always look forward to your details. I had said that you were lucky to be picked by him to take care of his toys. However, I think I should have said it in reverse. He is lucky to have you to take care of his toys. Great job on the Benz, as usual.
