    Re: Detailed: 1998 Mercedes Benz E430 - BLACK!!!

    I do not know, how many times I see nice, new MB around here in Vegas. The only problem is, most of them have tons of swirls.

      This deserves to be put in the Extreme Makeover details. That car looked horrible in the beginning and now it looks like it rolled out of the factory doors just a day ago! Well done, my friend, well done.

        Nice work. I drive a 99 E300TD and was wondering how did u clean the rims? German break dust is a pain!!! And the rims i have on my car have never been cleaned so its just "nasty" I've tried to clean it but i just cant remove it.

          Ha ha, I thought the same thing and agree.

          HOWEVER, that was a fantastic turnaround and you should be very proud of the work you did.

          Well done.

            Thanks for the compliment!!! Yeah I agree that the car looked terrible when I picked it up. I couldn't believe the paint's condition considering it was a MB. I took it up as a challenge and was extremely pleased with the results.

            I first sprayed it with APC and let it sit for a while. After I used normal car wash soap to clean it.

            Thanks.

            You know, at first I felt bad for posting pics but now I'm proud of it!!! I just wanted to show off my work and I would let any negative opinions stop me. I love looking at a lot of pictures when someone shows off their work and I wouldn't mind if they want to show a lot of pictures.

              Just curious...how long did the work take you?

              Did you use purely DA? or Rotary as well?

                Fantastic job with those buffer swirls and holograms.
                Marc, how do you rate Flex comparing to Makita? I know it's lighter and more manuverable. Please let me know.

                  Hi Greg,

                  I'm not sure because I've never used a rotary in my life. I plan on buying the Makita sometime in the future though.

                      Hey Marc, did you forget buffing out the '86 Mustang with a Vector rotary and a purple foamed wool pad?
