ScheerSpeed Detailed: Black Mercedez CLS 55 AMG

This car is a 2006 Mercedez CLS 55 AMG. it has 18000 miles. the paint was in pretty good shape considering the car sits outside all day every day. This isn't a daily driver, but since it isn't garaged i wanted to go with a LSP that was going to last a while, so i went with 1Z Glanz wax.



The paint had a lot of RIDS, so i needed to do a 3-step polishing on this car. i spent a whole 3 DAYS on this car just to make it absolutely flawless.



thoughts on M95- i like it, it has a pretty good work time, but i found that it doesn't cut as much or finish down as fine as M105. Especially on this ceramic clear coat it was hard to correct the paint.

the Brake calipers were full of grime and brake dust. P21s Wheel gel took care of this problem!

Damn! There's used one of these in black sitting at a local dealer for $57k. Makes me want to go further in debt after looking at these pics!
 
one sweet and beautifull ride . You did one hell of a comeback . Truly you made that paint glow .

amazing work! How long do you find that the glanz lasts? Did you apply only 1 coat?



im curious to kno this too...i bought a PC7424 package and it came with the glanz wax along with some other great products (now i just have to learn how to use them like you!)
