This Mercedes had a lot of swirl marks, holograms and random deep scratches.

You can see holograms coming off of the driver side headlight here.

Pretty rough shape...

Some interior shots...

Engine...

Some closer shots after the wash. Then went over the car with a Nanoskin medium grade pad since the contaminants were pretty heavy.

After the paint correction was complete, it decided to rain. I took as many pictures as I could and then pulled it back into the garage to take some more lighted photos (trying to compensate for the sun the best I could.)

Interior after...

A couple reflection shots. The first is off of the hood and the second is off of the driver door/fender.

I pulled the car back inside for some lighted photos...

Thanks for checking out this detail! Hope you have a great weekend (what's left of it) and I will see you on the next post!

For cleaning I used Griots Garage Engine Cleaner. Most APCs will do but that stuff works longer than most and is environmentally safe. Thanks for the compliment and for checking out the detail!

This detail took 30 hours to complete. 20 hours of paint correction alone. Thanks for checking it out!

Yes I do. 303 Aerospace Protectant. It really does work well with rubber hoses (non-greasy treatment that doesn't attract dust after excess is removed)
