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: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7240/7...cdf4b5ac_b.jpg eh, it's a little dirty Letting the wheel cleaner do its thing before I scrub: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8153/7...ed320056_b.jpg Ewwwwwww, that's pretty nasty lol Can't forget about the little "details": http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7085/7...6cba54fb_b.jpg Natural boar's hair brush was used so it doesn't damage the finish of the wheel All cleaner and looking much better! http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7089/6...f0c83513_b.jpg Just giving it a bath here: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7243/6...89cd3ec2_b.jpg Cleaning every cracks and crevices while the foam dwelled: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7055/7...b6b6b96c_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8003/7...4369c21f_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7133/7...c18fa263_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7062/6...9217180c_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8162/7...ab27f7fe_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7127/6...a45cc018_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8157/6...b050de9d_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7199/6...ed0efa3e_b.jpg Since this car was going to receive opti coat, iron deposit removal was included: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7036/6...24f80222_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8145/7...7e1cb079_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7056/7...011e9f0d_b.jpg A little scratch on the underside of the side view mirror here: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8004/6...71ba5aaf_b.jpg Gone! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8003/6...e46371b5_b.jpg The poor pillars needed some polishing too: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7068/6...d8411afc_b.jpg All polished! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8166/7...0783b8a7_b.jpg Another scratch on the fender: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7114/7...610e93d5_b.jpg Wet sanded @ 2500 grit and polished: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8021/6...6c58eb71_b.jpg Corrected the taillights as well: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8154/6...fde95a80_b.jpg Giving it another bath to rid of polishing dust and oil: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7131/7...2368bed1_b.jpg Gotta clean up after my own mess you know: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7092/6...cf290796_b.jpg Bet you didn't know silver cars CAN have reflects like this: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7274/6...e7148dd4_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8166/7...00da9ab8_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8001/6...83359afb_b.jpg 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. |
That is just amazing.
