2007 E63 AMG Jet Black--Take Two!
I did this car with Denzil back in late December and instructed the owner he can no longer take it to his regular "down the street car wash" after we had spent 23 man hours on the car.
Well, sure enough I got a phone call saying he took it to one, and "for some reason the swirls came back." So I explained what had happened--and he wanted it fixed again. This time around, though, while I was washing it, I let him help out and learn how to do the 2 bucket method. Then I set him up with his own washing supplies before I left!
Anyways, on with the write-up!
Car was dirty from recent off-and-on raining
Foamed the car with CG Citrus Wash/Clear
Here is what I was up against:
After testing a few different combo's, I ended up with: 3M Fast Cut Plus and/or M105 + Detailers Domain Uber Yellow pad, followed by 3M Extra Fine Compound and 3M UK Yellow pad, and jeweled it down with 3M Ultrafina and 3M UK Blue Pad.
50/50's:
Some after shots:
Door before:
After:
Right by the gas cap to show no camera "trickery":
After:
It was quite windy over the weekend so I needed to get creative with the EZ-Up:
Trunk area before:
After:
After compounding:
Applying Blackfire AFPP:
Final afters:
The amount of pollen that weekend was insane...!
Thanks for looking!
As always, C/C welcome!

Thanks for sending me one of my best clients! Kevin listens to everything I have to say, and takes it seriously! I got him set up with some great wash equipment. Bug him to do yours too--maybe?
