56K- My last 4 details - ML300, Expedition, CTS & Explorer

[blue-sun]

First, the ML300 (badged ML500)

Very nasty inside, pretty heavily swirled on the outside. It was taken to my friend shop for repairs, and the dealership was pretty happy with the outcome, so he's gonna be bringing us more to do at his shop, most likely



I didn't have my camera the first day that I started detailing it, and I don't have many pics of the exterior swirls.



Pretty much all the carpets looked like this:

After TOL's 1:20 cleaner x 2

All done:

DACP with cutting pad

NXT with grey pad

all the pics

Next was a "maintenance" wash and wax for the above shop's owner. I did a full detail on his truck about 2 months ago and it hadn't been washed since then:

#0000 Steele wool on exhaust

Next was the shop owners mom's CTS



It was heavily swirled, but I didn't have enough time to do a deswirling on it, so I washed it, and applied AIO with a white pad, which got rid of some of the swirling. . .

Degreased with 1:7 SG/H20

Dressed with 303

This car needed a claying badly. I'll be doing a ful lclay/deswirl on it later on this summer.

Next was a 1 year old explorer for a friend of mine.



She had purchased the extended wax warantee when she bought the car. They gave her a bottle of the "cleaner polymer" she requested I use it (R2000), so I applied it with a grey pad.

Before that, I spot removed a few minor scratches with a DACP and a orange pad.

Looks really good.

That's quite a bit of flake on the Exploder!



The Mercedes is an SL, not ML (the ML is the MB SUV).

Nice work! The carpets on that Mercedes were horrible and the exhuast and wheels on the excursion were too. Great job cleaning those things up.
