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.
