Hey guys and gals! Glass Reflectionz Detailing presents c230 kompressor! Haven't posted in a while here! Her it is, my moms black c230, i wetsanded this one before about 8 month ago and also this was my learning car in any kind of polishing job Ive ever done, and when i was learning of course i wasn't perfect and left some residue on that Mercedes which I planned to clean later but as always school, work and detailing on a side i couldn't do it so couple days ago i just decided to fix my own mistakes and got to it. The car didnt have much imperfections just some wipe downs cob web here and there, some very light water spots and that it. The car was repainted so the clear is very soft!

Corrections was done with this tools.

Washed with DAWN and all kinds of brushes.

Clayed.

Griots Garage DA m105 on orange lc pad

White pad and power finish.

ez-creme glaze (just to pump up the depth and the gloss of paint because i was planing to use balck fire W.D. sealant)

Bumper still looks pretty rough, but hopefully you can take this experience to future customers.

Yeah i couldn't do much to bumper any more, it was repaired 2 times by my father because the sport edition bumpers are expensive for this model and its just a daily driver so he fixed it both times by himself, and because he not a pro the paint started cracking here and there. Plus it needs to be touched up which i didnt want to do this time.

INDEED! Saw that too! Side walls are dry rotting and cracked. That is a blowout waiting to happen.



The car looks a lot better than it did. Nice job.
