Mercedes S 430

[JBs]

well a couple days ago i did an s430. it had some really bad sand type stuff all over it that wouldn't come off. the wheels were insanely dirty for someone who has only had them for a couple months! the wheels took the longest

Wash - DP autobath w/ schmitt/ lowes foam gun; Wolfgang Wheel Gel cleaner (1/2 the bottle lol) for the wheels

Clay - DP clay/ clay lube

Polished the hood - XMT 3/ XMT 1

Wax - Natty's Blue - love this stuff!

Interior - Vacuum, DP interior cleaner for all the stains and dirt build up, DP interior protectant for leather seats, steering wheel, dash/other vinyl.

Took 2 1/2 hours, went through a whole clay bar

Before:



like i said, VERY dirty... i cleaned the whole inner rim too (the part that looks black)!


the sand type of stuff


After wash - didn't have any wax or anything on it, it was very rough too; no beading!!!


After:
Notice no swirls in the hood



Damn that's a nice reflection lol!



sorry, no interior pictures... you can look in the last pic though kinda
