  • 14yr old mercedes benz w210 detailed

    a classic mercedes benz, commonly used by most business man
    and the model u;re looking now, W210 E-class
    a successor of the popular W124

    well what we;re looking at, is how i restore a 14yr old STOCK paing

    side view, looks good coz well washed by me all the time -.-


    now u can see the paint fade which din reflect how the cloud looks

    stock rims, kinda dirty

    some scratches

    there's some scratches on rear boot as well, kinda small i admit

    door handle scratches, n some unknown "zebra" effect

    a 50/50, after i done all the process

    process recipe:
    wash with ONR
    dried the car
    clay with PG clay using ONR as lubricant for a smooth surface
    using makita STOCK wool pad, compound the car with meguiar's M105
    then change to lake country cutting pad, using speed 1 to spread, speed 3 then back to speed 1
    after compound, polish using lake country polishing pad with meg;s M205, speed 1 to spread, speed 2 then back to speed 1
    after that seal the whole car with meg;s nxt 2.0 wax

    as it was getting lake, i took these pic on the nx morning

    i hav to admit, silver is harder to spot swirl marks

    side view


    scratches r gone, back wif more reflection

    din manage to clear a deep scratch there if u notice

    would b clearer to see the scar of this car -.-

    1 week after i detailed her

    comparison of reflection of paint, probably its duel to the age of paint

    the sun, then hide behind the clouds

    more reflection on the bonnet

    the roof, 1 serious fading area which probably due to birds poo poo is once again shines

    water beading that slides from the car paint


    spent 5.5hours to detailed on what;s you're looking
    from 3.30pm till 9pm -.-

        cheers & congrats again...this is your third car???? very expensive guinea pig.

        Guinea-pig
        The first use of the term 'guinea pig' to describe a person didn't have the current 'subject of an experiment' meaning, but was a name for inexperienced
