bueno, hacia mucho que no posteaba nada de esto, si esta repetido me avisan.
This mighty little Merc came in for some pampering looking a little like this on arrival:
Water spotting:
And a bit grubby round the gaps:
So cracking on with the wheels, arches and tyre cleaning first, Smart wheels for the rim and G101 for the tyre and arch:
G101 then applied to door shuts, agitated with a detail brush:
Engine bay received the same treatment:
Now on to the body work, firstly a good jet wash down to remove lose dirt:
Then the whole vehicle foamed with AG powermax 3:
Whilst the foam left to do its thing i set about cleaning all the panel gaps and badges etc with a detailing brush:
A good rinse down and then washed 2TBM with Megs shampoo plus and a LW mit, before a final rinse with 0ppm purified water and dried with a microfiber drying towel:
Once all clean and dry it was in to the workshop to clay and inspect the paint work:
Dodo Juice grey clay and megs LT was used:
Paint work suffering from med/light swirling with the odd RDS:
After taking PTG readings and testing polish/pad combos, i settled on the new menz 203s and a Megs polishing pad:
Door before:
Door after (ignor the light holograming, im not concerned with finishing down at this stage the goal is purely to chase out all the swirls and light scratches:
Rear QT:
Before
After:
Boot lid:
Before
After:
Front gril:
The paint was then finished with Menz 85rd:
Then a wipe down with final inspection to remove any oils before applying the first of 3 coats of Blackfire all finish paint protection (this stuff is the business been using it for around 6 months now and its my fave sealant now, for ease of use, finish and suurface slickness) :
Wheels sealed with poorboys wheel sealant:
Engine bay dressed with 303 and under bonet paint work with jeffs acrillic prime (AIO):
Exhaust with Megs all metal:
Seals with gumypfledge:
Interior had a thorough vac, plastics cleaned, leather cleaned and conditioned:
A good dust down and final wipe down and we are done :
