This 2016 Mercedes Benz was brought to us with 800 miles on it to be perfected with all we have to offer. A beautiful German machine to say the least. Mercedes has stepped up their game with this car.

First the vehicle was washed in Pinnacle Suds

The car was brought into the shop to inspect the paint.

What we saw was typical of dealership prep

We planned to use Griots Garage Fast Perfecting Cream using a Boss G15 and Flex PE8

After compounding the vehicle, and polishing it out with Griots Finishing Sealant, we moved to the wheels.

Wheels were removed, degreased, steamed, erased, then coated via airbrush, with 22ple.

Each wheel was baked for at least 15 minutes

http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o741/Scott_Birdie/2016%20Mercedes%20C450%20AMG/DSC01709_zpspbbpc6qr.jpg (http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/Scott_Birdie/media/2016%20Mercedes%20C450%20AMG/DSC01709_zpspbbpc6qr.jpg.html)

We then turned our attention back to the exterior to coat the paint with 22ple VX Pro2 and Final Finish.

While the paint was baking, we turned our attention to the stunning dual color interior. Here we coated all fabrics and carpet with G-Techniq Fabric, and coated the cockpit with Pinnacle Black Label Leather & Vinyl Coating.

The engine was cleaned with Blackfire all in one tire and trim
