CLK Mercedes with Menzerna 106 and NXT

Did a nice 04 CLK Mercedes today for a client. Wash and clay, then tackled the paint with Meg's #83. The finish looked pretty good but I wanted to get familiar with Menzerna 106FF, so I used that with a polish pad. I used the Festool on rotary mode and it was fast work. WOW! Even the owner commented on the reflection finish...he just was stunned.

After the 106, I topped the finish with a coat of NXT and a finish pad on the Festool.

Here's some quick pics and the owner's wife took some nice sunshine pics that she will e-mail me. I'll post them after I get them.









Interior leather was scrubbed with a horse hair brush and my diswashing liquid + apc + warm water formula. Carpeting was apc + brush and vac.

Now, back to BMW's!

Did I say I really like 106 on Mercedes?....it's really a stunner product.

Toto

Yep...the 106 is made for Mercedes clear coats and it works as advertised!

This guy is a new client and I found out today, he's a biggie in the Mercedes club, so I'll probably be getting more of the "other" German car biz.

Here is a paste of the response to the "Thank You For Your Business" that I always send following a detail.....pretty nice IMO.

Richard. I should be the one thanking you and cursing you at the same time!! The car looks TOO DAMN GOOD to be taken out..haha Thanks again for detailing the car, My wife thinks I should have you detail hers.. Thanks again, when you post the pics up on photo bucket let me know..

Thanks
John


When I send the mail, I give a brief recommendation for washing and quick detailing. Also, I let the client know that I will follow up in 6 months for a refresher detail.

Toto
