Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!

Very nice job bran and great pictures. Mercedes really does a beautiful job on their paint. They put on a lot of clear coat.

Very Very Nice !! The Mercedes looks great, and the refelections are cool looking especially the full top shot. Nice photography !!

I'd love to see some full shots!

Awesome!:righton:
That's it! Next car I'm buying will be black!

Look at the depth its like looking into a mirror

thanks for the kind words. I would post more pics but this was my old car. I think I went a bit overboard detailing it before the sale but the new owner(my sister) was very very happy when she picked it up. I took these pictures for memories.

The only reason I decided to post this was because of an email I received a few days ago regarding a detail photo contest. I figured I'd give it a shot and post my pictures.

I spent 2 days all hand waxed to obtain that shine. Here's a complete list of products and the process.

Day 1:
Washed car with Dawn soap to strip any old wax residue, dried car w/air compressor and then clayed with an off-the-shelf mothers clay product and WoW detailer spray.

washed again using sonus gloss shampoo.

dried car again and applied 1 coat of Klasse AIO with a damp microfiber sponge.

A few hours later applied the first coat of ex-p

Day 2:
Dust off car (OXO duster) wipe clean with WOW ultimate detailer spray and sonus microfiber WW towel.

applied 2nd coat and then after having lunch applied the third coat.
next I spent about an hour admiring how great the car looked and took these photos.:)


I miss having a black car so much! my new car is a IS250 in smokey gray mica and I don't get that same satisfaction after a detail. While it does look good I cant get that same deep glossy shine no matter how many coats of wax I apply. Maybe I should try another brand of wax/sealant? or could it be that metallic paints just cant show depth like flat jet black paint can?
