Long time since I posted a detail thread, this is one of my jobs I really enjoyed so I decided to share!

2014 E63 AMG 4Matic

Car came dirty

Cleaned the rims with P21S Wheel Gel and some brushes

As this paint is new and the owner refused the dealership prep, I really took my time as to avoid inflicting any wash marring.

Foamed car with POLISHANGEL SNOWMAN and washed with GLISSANTE shampoo 2BM

Next used Glaycolic clay bar and Baby clay lube

Dried with Master Blaster Car Dryer - again avoid wash marring.

Pre-polishing, most of the car was like this, but there was a bunch of isolated marring and hand prints, so I used Master Final Polish and the Cosmic Coating system, followed by Viking Shield.

Invincible coating prep polish broken down and buffed off. Using Rupes 21 with 5'' master sealant pad.

Example of marring, mainly on rear bumper where clear bra was applied.

These types of customers are an absolute pleasure to have!!

http://i1349.photobucket.com/albums/p759/Andr3wilson/e63/DSC_1042_zps520b910e.jpg

Applied Honey Dressing to the tires while waiting for coating to cure.

http://i1349.photobucket.com/albums/p759/Andr3wilson/e63/DSC_1045_zps6e7fb04a.jpg

Finally I machined (Rupes 15) a coating of Viking Shield on top. Then I used Black Wulfenite spray wax to add colour intensity and gloss.

Thanks for the read!

Great work man.. Love all the photos

[b0b]

Great results. I have never seen or heard of the brand polishangel. Looks like it works pretty darn good! Thanks for sharing.

[AutoHeed]

absolutely stunning car. very sleek.

you can use machine to apply your coating? interesting.

[Matt-erhorn]

Nice job, car had some seriously deep reflections on it! Except was that mud on it before? or just dirty snow? I will say that I love that car, not a huge fan of the front but love everything else, and my god are those things fast.

Awesome work Andrew!!! Finish is immaculate!!


Great results. I have never seen or heard of the brand polishangel. Looks like it works pretty darn good! Thanks for sharing.

POLISHANGEL has been around for a while now but just recently available in the states!


absolutely stunning car. very sleek.

Invincible | Primer & Cosmic 9H can both be applied by machine and there is no need for IPA or Panel Wipe with this system. Also, because it is a 2 part coating, you don't have to throw away your towels or pads. Primer is also a very effective 1-step polish. :xyxthumbs:

Beautiful work. Polishing angel has some incredible products. Plus the whole variety they have in there lineup. Thanks for posting and sharing. Quick question when you foam in the garage doesn't the foam get all over everything?

[firecorgi]

Great job :props:
I like the contrast of the snow white background with the dark colored car.

[Andr3wilson]

Thanks for the kind words guys! Lot of patience went into this one.

As far as foaming the car, it depends. The floor is a bit of a grate design so there is zero splay back, and you just learn how to direct the foam cannon.

And yes. Black car on a white background is perfect! great day for pics

[VeloNYC]

MB should pay you for this ad, looking at these pictures like flipping a magazine. Very neat job.

[10secdream]

Amazing job. Love the reflections of black on white.

[runrun411]

If I had that car it would never see snow or rain. Great job.

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Beautiful work Andrew! Looks incredible!

Still need to get in contact with PA.

[Boo4Osu]

stunning results!
