Awesome work as always, Richy! Good to see that AMG done justice, especially since I've seen so many of them neglected.

Awesome results!! Was wondering what kind of arm speed and pressure you used with the tb wool?

**Kamakaz1961** · 05-10-2016, 04:43 PM

Wow beautiful! You turned that Beast to a Black and beautiful Beast!! AMG = Bad Ass!

Great save as always Richy!

Can someone tell me if the headlights are different on this car, they look "different" to me, maybe Euro spec?

Great work!

What brand of CFL bulb is that??

As always, you produce phenomenal results.

With all the hours invested & expertise thrown in, I'm guessing you offered the owner upkeep tips/suggestions?

I'm always curious what top-tier pros preferred, particularly the "don'ts", i.e. avoid dry wiping, rinseless > waterless, etc. Hope you don't mind my asking, and my apologies for going somewhat OT on a showcase thread.

Thanks kindly. That's depressing to think of any of them neglected.

Brian, I use much less product that most people. I will see if I can link a video I shot a few years ago showing my technique.

Thanks! I got it at Home Depot. It's a flood light, and the most powerful one they had.

Thanks. I introduced him to ONR and showed him how to use it and sent him a link to the towels that I use and recommend for it. The rest he knows.
