'03 Mercedes AMG SL55 detail

Detailing Rottweiler
Hey all!!!



When it comes to all things automotive this car has the three main ingredients for me: 1) It is silver ;) 2) It has a V8 3) It has a blower!!!! Nevermind that it has a retractable hardtop and Deutschland's best engineering to boot!!



The car shows 39K on the odo and had only ever been dealer cleaned or local "$20 scratch and swirl" maintained. The interior was in great shape but the paint showed moderate marring. Below is a description of products and process used.



Enjoy,

Mike :cool:



The detail:



Wash with Meg's Gold Class shampoo



Polish with Poorboy's SSR2.5 using a LC orange pad and my PC set at 5-6. This step was repeated twice over the entire car.



Polish with Poorboy's PwC (white) using a LC white pad and my PC set at 5-6.



Seal with Poorboy's EX-P using a Meg's 9006 pad and my PC set at 4.

A 65?! What are those going for? Around 160k?
 
THANKS all!!! :2thumbs:



Sean I don't think that the rims would clear the inner wells if it was dropped. Personally...I think the 20's are too large for the car...then again...it's not my car. ;)



GrayHawk like most of my affluent clients he was super down to earth and did tell me to "take it for a spin around the block"...to which I absolutely declined. I don't need that stress!!!

I'd have been all over that Mike....as long as they let you do it prior to the hours of hard work you put in. As always, Mike, your work is top notch and I always enjoy reading your threads. Hope business continues to go well and that I can make it to one of the get togethers eventually.
 
I bow to you sir for work above and beyond exemplary.



I also bow to the person able to afford such a ride......but I bow to you first. Wonderful work, you should indeed be proud.
