W221 S550 2 step correction
Hi all, my name is Mike, and this is my first write up here, so go easy on me guys, lol. The car seen here is a 2008 Mercedes S550 in Iridium Silver, the car was extremely difficult to capture defects on because of the color, but I did capture major defects here and there, so sit back and enjoy!
Condition of the rims: eh, it's a little dirty Letting the wheel cleaner do its thing before I scrub: Ewwwwwww, that's pretty nasty lol Can't forget about the little "details": Natural boar's hair brush was used so it doesn't damage the finish of the wheel All cleaner and looking much better! Just giving it a bath here: Cleaning every cracks and crevices while the foam dwelled: Since this car was going to receive opti coat, iron deposit removal was included: A little scratch on the underside of the side view mirror here: Gone! The poor pillars needed some polishing too: All polished! Another scratch on the fender: Wet sanded @ 2500 grit and polished: Corrected the taillights as well: Giving it another bath to rid of polishing dust and oil: Gotta clean up after my own mess you know: Bet you didn't know silver cars CAN have reflects like this: This was a very gruesome detail, I started at 7am and wrapped everything up at 10pm. The wash alone took over 3 hours to get it done right, but the end result was good. There are some spots on the car that requires a bit more wet sanding so I'd have to go back and redo a couple of sections. |
