Mercedes C230 - wash, clay, wax

[sportscarhiatus]

So I'm finally (slowly) trying to get back to detailing cars other than my own... as you know, time is the culprit. This was a friend of mine's... This was just a wash, quick clay, seal, and wax. Car was not too bad when it came in... grime on the rims and exhaust, bugs, and embedded stuff that needed to be clayed. A more thorough clay was needed, but time did not permit that. Also, of course, a good buffing will be needed to deswirl it, in the future. He did not want it buffed.... yet.....

Products (and order of steps) used:
ONR
Meguiar's Clay/ONR lube
DP Extreme Foam wash/2 bucket/grit guard
Sonax Wheel Cleaner/Optimum Opti-Clean for rims, wells, and tires
Sonax Tire Gel
Daytona wheel brush + Boar's hair brush + various wheel mitts
3M on interior skid plate
CG Jetseal via PC, red pad
Liquid Souveran via PC, red pad


Here are some befores and afters...








Here is Sonax at work: great stuff...







And some final shots... sorry but it was getting dark quick...

thanks guys. Yeah he loves his car. From moving it around in the driveway, it had a nice interior and nice solid german ergo and feel...

BTW, I forgot to mention that I used OCW on the wheels.
