Pictures - 1989 Mercedes-Benz - Low Mileage Beauty All Original Beauty!

While getting laundry caught-up...

I was sorting pads from microfiber towels and thought I would share this picture showing how many pads we went through buffing out Bob and Darlene's 1989 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 with the factory single stage paint


Looks like,

8 LC 5.5" White foam polishing pads for the Wolfgang Uber Compound

6 LC 5.5" Black foam finishing pads for the Wolfgang Finishing Glaze

3 LC 5.5" Blue foam waxing pad to machine apply Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze

4 LC 5.5" Blue foam waxing pads to machine apply Wolfgang Fuzion Paste Wax

To anyone new to machine polishing... more pads are better. Don't try to do each step with a single pad. When you get into machine polishing buy extra pads.

That was 4 guys with machines (plus Mike) as Jeff did the wheels, trim, bumpers ect. I used 2 of the white pads as I don`t have to do the laundry at AUTOGEEK, not yet at least.)

Always nice to see a car at about 30 or so years old and in this good condition. Ive been to a couple car shows where paint is faded,cracked, or the whole car is literally falling apart.

Mike and guys my wife owned that exact car new from 1989-1993 and it never looked that good being professionally detailed every 3 months, Congrats outstanding job

Thank you.

It looks even better in person. The whole car is flawless but the paint is near perfect.
