S550 upcoming job questions
Have an upcoming car I've been asked to do, it's a Black 2010 S550, and I gotta be honest I'm terrified!! Pretty sure it has the factory ceramic clear coat and I'm at a loss on how to do this one. My plan would be obviously foam/wash and then decon, I've been using the Nanoskin autoscrub on my DA and have good results with it. It doesn't have much that needs to be corrected, however how should I proceed after the decon? My thoughts would a white pad with menzerna SF-3800 be enough? What should I top the car off with?

Re: S550 upcoming job questions
I would say just take your time and figure out how the paint reacts to your combo. What are your machine/ polishes and pad options?

Hard to say without pictures. By nature of it being black, it's going to be a more difficult car to work on because a heavier combo will most likely leave marring and a lighter combo won't be effective enough. Are you planning a one step or two step? If it does have Ceramiclear then a white pad and 3800 probably won't touch it.

Using the torq 10fx wide variety of pads, orange pads MF orange pads black white all those. My go too is meguiars 105/205 followed by whatever reacts best with the car. The SF-3800 really is impressive, I have the Wolfgang sealant which is nice, but I'm always shopping for new sealants. Going to do my first ceramic coating on my car in two weeks.

Sounds like a plan, maybe I was overthinking this.

Sorry I missed this when you first posted this thread.
Did you look at the paint code and verify that it was or wasn't a Ceramiclear paint system?
Ceramiclear Paint Code Location on Mercedes-Benz
The majority of comments I seen made by others about Ceramiclear paints is
Ceramiclear paints are rock hard
I disagree. I find they correct easy. No need to go super aggressive.
