2010 s550

[2wookies]

Had a customer with a 2010 Mercedes S550, 100k miles on it that wanted it to look as good as I could before he posts it up for sale. Products used were meguiars 105/205 Menzera SF3800 and topped with Wolfgang 3.0 sealant. Meguiars MF orange pad with LC White pad and black pad. Only problem I had was I felt the 105 didn't cut fast enough for the job. About 13 hrs in paint correction, and when he saw it was absolutely floored.

Cheers

[DARK HORSE]

Looks great, nice work!

[Audi X2]

The MB looks awesome now!
Very satisfying to have great results and a happy customer after many hours of hard work :xyxthumbs:

[mike33175]

Very nice turn around!

I did a 2012 last year, it took me 14 hrs.
I used:
FG400
HD adapt (on B pillars)
Menzerna SF4500

105 is great, but the dusting can drive you crazy when polishing a black car.

[lj993]

Amazing work. Well done. Phil

[brettS4]

Well done! I had the same issue of M105 and foam pads not cutting fast on my Audi paint. I stepped up to a foamed wool pad and life was good after that.

[Joe@NextLevelDetail]

Look great!

[Sizzle Chest]

Very nice work! Great reflection!

[Mike Phillips]

Nice work.


I'm sure the owner is thrilled with our work and how their car looks!

Hope you shared with them the importance of washing it carefully into the future and NEVER take it through a brush or soft mop car wash.


Did you ever verify if it was a Ceramiclear paint system?
