[Got Wax]

This is a three day old gift to a client's 18 year old for grauating high school.



This car is apparently the last CLK being made so, they make the Grand Edition as a limited run. The "Diamond White" color makes flaws very difficult to photograph. But there were a few micro-scratches and swirls.



So, the car received the following:



- Wheels got P21S w/ 5 min dwell agitated w/Swissvax and various other brushes

- Tires got APC and stiff nylon brush

- Wheel Wells received APC and agitated with nylon bristle brush

- Car received foam w/Adams Car Wash rinse and two bucket wash w/Adams

Car Wash and MF Mitt

- Clay w/ Megs fine clay bar and ONR Solution for lube

- Wheels calyed w/ Meg fine and Meg 2.0 Poly Sealant

- Meg 205 on Uber green 5.5 on Makita and 4" on Flex @ 1200 rpm

- Meg 205 on Uber blue 5.5 on Maikta and 4" on Flex @ 1200 rpm

- ONR wash and rinse

- Meg 2.0 Poly Sealant

- Tires got Meg All Season Dressing

- Interior got a air purge and vacuum

- Seats wiped down and received Leather Master Protect. Cream

- Windows in and out got Stoners and Aquapel on ext glass

While this car really didn't need much, it did need a solid cleaning and protectant.

Awesome job!

Looks great man, I have never heard of a Grand Edition. I like the tire dressing you used, very clean looking.

 

[OakesDetail]

Looks great, it's surprising how dirty the new cars can come. Haven't heard of the grand edition either until now. I think they've done away completely with the CLK though, brand new E-Class comes in coupe form.



Nice job again!

How can a car like that be so dirty and neglected been "brand new". As of your performance on the car was superb!

 

[AGAuto]

I agree with MobileJay, the tire dressing you used looks great. How did you apply it? Any special techniques/dilutions?



Great job on the car also!

detail came out great. what size pop up tent are you using seen a 10x10 in the sporting goods store it just looked kind of small in there but I can't go to big trying to put it up myself.whats the biggest you think I can go I know I probably won't be able to put a truck underneath it

Thanks for the comments. I'm probably going to get banned but, I had to create a new account because my original account "Got Wax" has logged me out twice this week and now my password doesn't work. I've e mailed David with no reply. So, hope I don't catch grief!?



Anyway, the tires were dressed with Meg All Season Dressing applied with Detailers Domain round blue foam applicators.
