ML350 2007 (black) Full of RIDS

i'm not a pro detailer and do it just as an hobby,

I did more than a few card but never a Mercedes with their Ceramic coat.

this car was washed in the "swirl machines" - automatic car washes... and was in a very poor condition.

I tested - Meg's D300 with MF pad, it just took out the swirls and left a whole lot of RIDS.
then tried Menzerna SF1500 with Meg's MF pad and still left with RIDS.

Stepped up to M105 with MF pad and had to do 3~5 section passes to get ~70% of the RIDS cleared up.

here's a short video of before and after

Great job. When you need 3-4 passes of 105 you are dealing with a real mess.

Good work, thanks for posting!

What's the next gameplan, or are you satisfied @70% ?

As i don't have a device to measure to thickness of the coating i would leave it at that.
It's a daily driver, so no need for more,
The owner is already very happy with the resualt
And after so many passes, it's better to leave a thicker coating with a few rids than think coating.
