2008 Black Mercedes ML320CDI

[metal]

Shame that money was already spent on the "sealant" from the dealer... Car looked horrible and its only a week or two old! I dunno why either, but this clearcoat was EXTREMELY soft in some places. I would run my clean finger on the clean paint lightly on some places and it would leave a scratch. Even Optimum Polish on a white LC pad was leaving some noticeable holograms. I couldn't finish on this paint without very very faint holograms even at low speeds on a finishing pad, so I ended up using the PC for finishing.



Process:

Wash

OP - White LC CCS pad - rotary

OP - Black LC VC pad - PC

Klasse SG on top

Under the halogens :nervous2:

After OP on a polishing pad..

Afters

In the sun, some light cobwebbing but compared to before, awesome

Great Job Metal. That Mercedes dealership should be embarrassed for letting the car leave in that condition, especially after they charged Lord-only-knows for their "sealant." If I was the client, I think I might swing by that dealer and show them what good work looks like.

Doubt the dealer would care haha.
