2008 Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic

[stilez]

Morning everyone.



Regular client of mine recently picked up this luxo-box for a bit more comfort for his daily and weekend commutes. This is my first *new* S-class I've detailed and my-oh-my, what a stellar job they did. I absolutely love this car. This particular one had about 4600 miles, general soil levels, and light swirling.

- Zaino Z8 on chrome, wood

- Stoner's Invisible Glass on glass, mirrors, seatbelts, gauges

Exterior

That car is stunning in certain colors! Great job



Any unexpected issues with that hard clearcoat?

 

[SpoiledMan]

Yeah, they did do a great job with the new S and so did you.

Did the PC make a dent in that ceramiclear, or were you mainly cleaning the paint with the ZPC?



Great job by the way.

Great job with the detail Sean. Nice to see one of your posts. Zaino looks great on that color for sure (and your prep certainly helped that!)

Glad to see you back here cleaning cars It looks great now. I am not a big MB fan but the new S-class is pretty nice I must say.

Thanks everyone!



The paint wasn't that hard, surprisingly. I was getting a little micro-marring with my combo initially so I backed down on the pressure and moved a little slower.
