<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Mercedes C63 AMG in for detail, paint correction and OptiCoat protection
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Sonax on the wheels, tires cleaned and degreased, wheel wells treated and de-tarred
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Minimal protection on the paint, quick blast with pressure washer as a pre rinse before using Iron Out to remove contaminants.
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">This is Iron Out decontaminating the finish, turning all ferrous particles embeded in the finish red, not so bad on the doors here..
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Before claying heavy contaminants running off rear quarter and bumper
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">After rinsing another pressure wash and foam bath with the foam cannon
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Foam sat for about 5 minutes, at this point even before taking a mitt to it the finish is extremely clean, all surface dirt and grime is already off now its time to wash the paint and further strip any last wax or glaze on the finish left by the dealer
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">After prep I started on the interior. White AMG option leather looks awesome but for daily driving its a pain. Jean transfer always a problem on light colored leathers. They do take a beating, luckily its fixable
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Before
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Here are some 50/50 shots of the leather before and after deep cleaning
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Final finished interior
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Onto paint correction, car was in generally good shape light swirls on the finish. Typical of Benzes lots of swirls and lines in the front and rear bumpers
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Taillights polished
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Rupes Duetto great for polishing steps, the 21 does have the advantage in cutting however
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Soft clear on the B pillars and mirror caps, fine polishing needed for this my trusty LHR75 worked great
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Hood vents polished by hand
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">After correction and finishing work all paintwork was cleaned with IPA to prep for OptiCoat application
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Final shots after OptiCoat
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">White finishing popping nicely, no metallic hard gloss is what I call it!
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Wheels coated and tires dressed for optimal dark matte finish that won't sling and washes off clean after a few weeks
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Shop LED lighting illuminating the finish
<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">
