This detail was completed on Friday. It’s a 2003 Mercedes SL500 with around 12k miles and in non-metallic black. The day was cloudy with no sun breaking through at all. The car was pretty rough with a good amount of swirls and deep random marring. I did what I could and got the finish about 90%-95% better. There was a lot of wax build up on the clear bra lines all over the car which took me a good bit to remove and not all of the lines were able come clean. Total Time Spent: 11 hours
