2007 Mercedes GL450 - EHUTH1

[ehuth1]

Whats up guys! I've been abit incognito for the past few weeks, being I'm super busy at my regular job and the details keep coming. I thought I would throw up a small review of S1.

I received this product about a month ago and couldn't wait to use it on something black! I've seen toto's results and I wanted to get some of my own. I got a prototype wool pad (green) for the flex orbital from a friend and I knew this was going to be my first choice. I was then going to use ultrafina with a blue LC CCS pad on the flex at speed 4 to clean up the rest.

The truck has about 20k on the clock and there are no befores. I used the above products plus MEGS Wheel Brightner, MEGS All Season, MEGS Hyper Dressing, AIM Sealant. Final Wipe with mystery QD I didn't have any keys to this one either!! Notice the mirrors folded in.

















My take on System One... Well it took some getting used to, I ended using just like Tom does in the videos. I just slung it on the car, spread it evenly and took off on speed 6. I used moderate pressure and worked 2x2 areas all the way around the car. The finish after wool basically blew my mind! I wanted to go to foam and finish out with System One, but I've also been wanting to try UF SE.... So until next time

Looks great Eric! I love 3M UF on black. What dressing did you use on tires? Hyper w/ paint gun or All season?

Well this time it was too windy for the sprayer, but I did lay the hyper dressing on with a soft bristle brush with MEGS Hyper Full strength in a 32oz bottle. Your paint gun method still to this day saves me 30 minutes on a detail.

Very nice detail...what's AIM sealant???

AIM=Auto, Industrial, Marine correct? They used to deliver to the Toyota dealer I worked for. I didn't know you could get the stuff from anywhere except off of a AIM truck.

Car looks great BTW. Nice job.

Trippers answer to AIM's meaning is correct.

I buy directly from AIM in Sugar Hill, GA. It's a great sealant that has DuPont Teflon additives. 30 minute cure time / Remove with MF. They don't have a web address, nor do they sell out of state from what I understand..... Bulk chemical manufacturing is what they specialize in.

That makes more sense lol. I worked at Cobb County Toyota. Thats the only way I know about them. I'll be back in town on the 20th. I may have to stop by and pick some of this stuff up.

Very nice looks great. I still can't decide on System One or some Megs 105.

I have a sample of M105 coming so hopefully I can see which is better too. Thanks for the comments guys!
