Re: 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.

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