Doing stuff.
Finally got around to taking some pictures. This car has been through a lot. Wetsanded it a few months back, stripped the paint off the wheels (and now I get to polish them every week), all sorts of fun. Everything I've learned about detailing I've learned on this.



#80

Autoglym Super Resin Polish

EXP

#26

S100

Yah really, that car is in exceptional condition for a 16 year old car, let alone a driver! You do a great job detailing it. How many miles?
 
Rotary with the #80, PC with the SRP and EXP, hand with the #26 and S100.



Forgot, I also had to use medium cut cleaner and DACP with the rotary on some trouble spots.
 
That's a nice looking Benz. My brother has a gold one same model. His is nowhere in the condition your is. Great work man!
 
DanoWatt- That's one *very* sharp W126 :xyxthumbs



I'm really :eek: about how nice you're keeping the un-painted wheels! Those are a royal pain to clean as it is, what with all the little slots; theyused to drive me nuts.
 
What procedure/products did you use to strip those wheels and what is your regular maintenance for them? I agree-cleaning those grooves takes a lot of time-I have been using a parts cleaner brush with some wheel cleaner to clean the car I work on.
 
Very nice I love the Euro headlamps... I have a 1990 350SDL myself that really needs to shine like that! Good job

Thanks everybody. For the wheels, just some soap and a lot of elbow grease. I'd like to get some new wheels (AMG Penta's or monoblock aero 1's) but since I'm starting this detailing business, that's on hold. Neat thing is, I'm using this car to detail out of. I gutted the rear part of the interior, and I can easily fit all my supplies in there and the trunk (even room for a generator). Since I usually do waterless washes, don't need to worry about a water tank. It's very nice to roll up to a customers house in this, they usually expect me in some big van or pickup truck.



But I really do need to eliminate the speed holes under the headlights (where the headlight wipers used to be). Time to learn bondo.
