    Cool Mercedes SL350

    Today's been a long one, 14 hours in total!

    The owner of this SL350 clearly looks after the car, which only goes out in dry weather, and it was very clean indeed, the door shuts etc were spotless and it was a struggle to find anything worthy of taking 'before' shots of. The car looked like this when I arrived, you can see it's pretty damn clean!:



    Even though it was pretty clean, I need to know it's clean before polishing so out came the Dodo Juice Supernatural shampoo:


    Fuel filler cleaned:


    Rinsed and dried:


    Wheels came out spotless:


    Then the car was clayed and on closer inspection lots if swirls:




    So the best part of an hour was spent masking up!:


    These took an age!:






    And after about eight hours of correction the car was sealed with Wolf's Chemicals Body Wrap:


    Only a couple of after shots because it was dark and the garage lighting was not the best:

    Just had a call from the customer for a refresh, but the car has only been out a couple of times in dry weather apparently, and hasn't been washed because it hasn't needed it. So it will get a wipe down with ONR, then a glaze and good quality carnauba wax on top.
