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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Wow, I think you could have cut the final pics in half if not more as there's like tons of shots at the same angles. I literally though you accidentally posted doubles and triples of the same shot. Just my cc.

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.

Nice job on the car. It's beautiful. If I was the owner, I would invest in a new premium tint job. The car would look really brand new.

What a tremendous improvement. The Benz looks fantastic.

Thanks! I thought so too!

Never too many pics. lol

That paint was terrible. Incredible turn around!

Yeah I agree! I always like looking at pics.

Thank you sir!

Looks much, much better! Great work and nice save!

Thanks!

Marc, awesome job and great writeup! How hard was the paint? Sure corrected up nice with the Flex

Sup Jeff? How's it going??? Thanks for the compliment man! I appreciate it from the guy who has M105 in his holster. The paint wasn't hard at all. SIP/LC orange worked great with one pass! I'm not sure how much harder those ceramic clears are though. I'm sure that I don't want to deal with that hahaha!

Tremendous change by looking at the before and afters. Good work man!

Thanks Tim! Appreciate it.

I couldn't edit my post anymore. I'm sorry if I posted way too much pics. I was just excited on how I was able to improve the paint. I guess I got trigger happy with the camera and posted most of the pics. The funny thing is that the pics posted is already a cut down version of what I have in the camera LOL!
