    Mercedes ML320 full restoration detail.

    Hello all and welcome to another write up from Orchard Autocare. This time we have a molested Mercedes ML320 that has just been detailed by one of the "top detailer's in Ireland" that are popping up all over the place. yes you read right this has JUST BEEN DETAILED!!! I'm not talking about the after shots at this point I am talking about the before. The owner went to a guy recommended to him and after a healthy dose of fast cut plus and then the "detailer's go to product over here" Black hole it looked pretty ok until he says the sunlight got onto it then he washed it the following week and this is what he was faced with. This is becoming a regular trend with us "fixing" approx 1-2 cars per month as an average. So buyer beware yes the £70 detail sounds great but this is what you will get for your £70. worst thing is they are getting wise and he paid considerably more and this was 4 days work!!! Now that takes skills!
    Corrected using Meguiard Microfibre system, then Rotary and various compounds for the deeper marks. Once corrected refined using Megs 205 of various pads by Rotary.





    LSP was Orchard Autocare Speed Seal and Perfection on all surfaces and Tyres were treated with Glitz Tyre dressing.

    OUCH. That thing looked like it just went through an automated car, not detailed. Great turn around.

    "This is becoming a regular trend with us "fixing" approx 1-2 cars per month as an average". Sounds like the more work the other guys do, the more repair you do. I call that job security.

    Wow...just wow!
    What did you do...post here as an afterthought for your red-headed step-children?
    Seems that copy/paste, upload, and time and AGO could have benefitted from a full thread instead of a link.

    Oh well...

    Brillo Pad.

    Nice work man.
    How hard was it to correct ?
    I ask because I have a 2010 e550 to correct this weekend weather permitting nd wanting to know if it's a difficult car to remove defects.
