14yr old mercedes benz w210 detailed

[rex79gt]

a classic mercedes benz, commonly used by most business man
and the model u;re looking now, W210 E-class
a successor of the popular W124

well what we;re looking at, is how i restore a 14yr old STOCK paing

side view, looks good coz well washed by me all the time -.-


now u can see the paint fade which din reflect how the cloud looks

stock rims, kinda dirty

some scratches

there's some scratches on rear boot as well, kinda small i admit

door handle scratches, n some unknown "zebra" effect

a 50/50, after i done all the process

process recipe:
wash with ONR
dried the car
clay with PG clay using ONR as lubricant for a smooth surface
using makita STOCK wool pad, compound the car with meguiar's M105
then change to lake country cutting pad, using speed 1 to spread, speed 3 then back to speed 1
after compound, polish using lake country polishing pad with meg;s M205, speed 1 to spread, speed 2 then back to speed 1
after that seal the whole car with meg;s nxt 2.0 wax

as it was getting lake, i took these pic on the nx morning

i hav to admit, silver is harder to spot swirl marks

side view


scratches r gone, back wif more reflection

din manage to clear a deep scratch there if u notice

would b clearer to see the scar of this car -.-

1 week after i detailed her

comparison of reflection of paint, probably its duel to the age of paint

the sun, then hide behind the clouds

more reflection on the bonnet

the roof, 1 serious fading area which probably due to birds poo poo is once again shines

water beading that slides from the car paint


spent 5.5hours to detailed on what;s you're looking
from 3.30pm till 9pm -.-

Good job man. I like older Merc's better than the newer stuff.
