Detailing W205

Anyone had their W205 detailed yet?

My black C220 AMG-line w/ PP is going in tomorrow for New Car Protection with ceramic wax finish to avoid watermarks (with the rain in the UK think this is a worthwhile investment to limit washing it and protect against atmospheric contaminants).

After 8 and a half years my black Civic lost it's sheen and the swirl marks looked terrible. Hoping to go some way in avoiding that this time from the outset.

Will post results over the weekend (providing weather holds up). Has anyone else had their car detailed? If so, mind sharing pics?

Independent shop. Not sure I would trust a dealer with detailing.

Picked the car up today and looks wow. Don't think phone pics would do it justice. Will pull out the Canon tomorrow - hoping it's a clear day w/ sunshine.

The car is mint!!!

Now I 'm convinced I made the right choice ordering my car "obsidian black" you don't get to see a lot of black W205's on the internet. And your car is absolutely stunning.

Can you post pics from the side of the car and the front??


Also is your car equipped with airmatic?? Because I notice its slightly lower than what we normally see in pictures.

Goncratulations on the car

Thanks! I believe the detailer used Gyeon Q2 Mohs - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...ohs-cat12.html. Expensive stuff but hope it lasts for a good year or more.

Thank you! Black was a no-brainer for me. My first choice would have been red having owned a black car before and how painful it is to look after but red wasn't option at the time I placed the order. I'll try and get a side-on picture later. Black looks great and is timeless.

I don't have airmatic but the AMG-styling gives it a lowered sportier stance.

Black or Obsidian (Metallic) Black?

Megaoctane's Polar looks mint. Your Black looks mint. I've seen Iridium with tint and it looks mint.
