    Critical Details: Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 - Major Paint Correction + Opti-Coat

    I recently had the pleasure of working on a beautiful 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 with Orion Blue Metallic paint. The vehicle owner wanted to restore the SLK to showroom condition and chose to have a Major Paint Correction performed. After compounding and polishing the paint for eight hours it was time to apply all three Optimum Coatings to the exterior of the SLK. In all I spent approximately 18 hours detailing this vehicle.

    Compounding - Menzerna Intensive Polish on a orange Lake Country pad.

    Polishing - Menzerna Final Final Finish on a white Lake country pad.

    Major Paint Correction

    Our most thorough exterior detail treatment is designed for enthusiasts looking to take their vehicles appearance to the pinnacle of what premium car care can provide. Multiple (2-4) stage machine polish removes heavier defects from the paint work. Machine polishing is performed in addition to a decontamination detail and removes 80% - 100% of paint defects.

    Beautiful work as usual with excellent video taking skills and music to go along. Your videos always have my attention all the way to the end. And oh yea the car looks brand new. Thanks for sharing and posting. Great work.

    Thank you for watching. There was still a few RIDS in the paint but overall I was able to achieve around a 90% correction.

    Thank you. I try really hard to keep the viewer engaged throughout the video. If you aren't familiar with the Mercedes-Benz line up you could definitely mistake this SLK for a new vehicle.

    I have a black STI hatchback Major Paint Correction video that I will be uploading sometime next week. The 50/50 polishing shots are some of the most dramatic that I have ever seen.

    Thank you for the compliment.

    The Rupes is a must have for any extended polishing session. My fingers would still be numb if I polished 8 hours straight with the Porter Cable.

    Thanks for watching. Keep an eye out for the BMW X5 Road Tar Removal and the Subaru STI Major Paint Correction video in the near future.

    Thank you. It is always nice when a client can leave their vehicle with you for two or three days. Having the vehicle for multiple days gives me the extra that is necessary to film a video. Some details I only have enough time to snap a few Instagram pictures.
