Here is a 2006 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Mtatic, white with a light tan interior. I have done 2 other MB's for the owner this year, and when he got this one, I told him I really wanted to do it, and already knew what I wanted to use as an LSP as soon as I saw it.
This thing was filthy. Really filthy. In fact, I had to clean the wheels twice, and I still couldn't get them up to my standards. Need a better wheel brush :shrug:
It was rainy and cold, so I washed the wheels/tires/wells, and the engine outside. Then rinsed the car down the best I could get it.
I was informed by the owner, that he wanted the car back by 5 P.M.
Great
So I had only 7 hours to complete the job. Given the short time frame, no polishing was carried out on this one, as well as no pressure washer used, do to time and weather conditions. Hopefully I will get this car back in the spring.

I spent a lot of time trying to clean the paint, i.e. bugs, road tar, fallout. The rocker panels and the front bumper were particularly bad. Hence all the clay. Plus those tight little spots, like around door trim, mirros,etc.
And Now The Afters

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking,
