2010 E350 Coupe- Paint Correction Detail
Long story short me and another detailer got a chance to detail this badboy. Swirls weren't terrible but there were many rids and deeper scratches the owner wanted taken care of. Paint was on the low side reading around 100-120, and it was odd to see so little metal panels on the car in general. 2 Meguiars microfiber foam pads later and 9h, it was completed... and then the rain came along. The front of the hood was wet sanded to remove deep scratches and marks.
Products Used:
CG Citrus Wash and Clear
Brown Royal Wheel Cleaner 2:1
ONR Clay Lube
Ricardo Clay
IronX
OPT Opti-Bond
CG Barebones
OPT Metal Polish
P21S Polishing soap
M105+M205
Permanon Platimum
Blackfire Wet Diamond
Before shots:
That german brake dust...
Could definitely look better!
Swirls on swirls
And again...
The plan of attack for the wheels. Going to battle it out.
During Shots:
When do you foam? "When I get bitten by a stray dog."
DIY foam gun does the job alright, its dwelling!
Sun made its visit a few times... German rivalry across the street.
Nasty wheels, and MB really chose some horrible lug nuts they look 30years old already!!
Looks clean enough to you right?
Wrong! IronX doing it thing on the barrels.
SHINY!!! No dressing yet though.
Real thick mitt! Super soft too, easily gets into all the crevices compared to a sponge.
Exhaust before...
After. It was actually very shiny, but it was warm from the drive.
Oddly enough this side was cool, and looked a ton better during photos.
Post-Wash.
Its just the photos... paint was far from perfect.
Trying to get get it bleeding... black is very impossible to see IronX working
Photo creds to Hamza.
Getting that polisher going! Fantastic correction but M105 on its own left some hazing.
Before... What. A. Mess.
After... cleared up perfect!
Alas, looking like it arrived from the showroom.
Perfecto!
Finishing touches on the beast.
After Shots...
Getting late... short on time. Sun shots another time
Paint was glowing!
Thanks for looking!
