My Friday Detail! Mercedes E350

When I first came up to this car I was like, ohhh myyy gooddd, water spots from hell completely covered the car from front to back.

This was a complete in/out detail. Forgot to take pics of inside like always. Luckily just by washing and using Meg's water spot remover, I removed 100% of the water spots and revealing paint that was actually in good condition. I also recommend to my client to let me clay bar it, to my surprise he refused and said it didn't need it. Whatever, I clayed it anyways. Was not about to wax a car without claying. Took me 2.5 hours to do inside and out. Needless to say these guys jaw dropped when he saw it and I will be detailing his Jaguar tomorrow let me know what y'all think!

Wow! Great turnaround Rusty. Did you do this all by hand? I would include claying the paint no matter what, being it is such an important step. Good thing you did.

Keep up the hard work!

Thanks! Yup all by hand. Going to be purchasing a DA to help me finish faster.

Yeah I told him I clayed it anyways, and I knew after i was done the looks of the car would speak for itself. Little did I know my hard work & throwing in the clay for free, would pay off & land me another detail tomorrow which is his jaguar which I had no idea he owned. Always pays off to do your best no matter what!

Nice work, that thing looks great! I agree with you 100% about doing the claying. Ive always thought the biggest jump in improvement was from a neglected to a properly clayed/waxed finish.
