    1988 Mercedes SL560 revived

    I had the pleasure of reviving this 22k mile Benz.

    Here is the car at the owners house.













    Here are some pics after using 1Z Einsette waterless wash and clay bar













    Here are some 50/50 shots. I used a chemical guys microfiber cutting pad and Menzerna IP2000 followed by Turbo wax finish polish on a white CCS pad.

















    Then topped with Victoria Concourse Red wax and polished the trim with never dull. Sorry for the darker pics.





























    Thanks for looking! Just need to clean up the interior.

    When you said you revived that SL500 I didn't think it would look that great, excellent work on that classic Benz
