This week my CLK had a quick detailling of 14 hours

The car was pretty dirty







I started by washing
- Insta Finish Purple Wash N Wax
- spray Strong Wash - Bug Bug
- APC Meguiar's 1/4

After drying, it was clay time
- clay Meguiar's
- Last Touch Meguiar's 1/1

Then rewash and drying

now the hard work with l'APC 1/1
Front wheels
Before



During


After (plastic dressing with CG Bare Bones)




Rear wheels, really dirty











Each wheel was :
- washed with Getrac spray + spray Strong Wash - Bug Bugger & Tar Remover
- clayed
- cleaner fluid SV
- SV Autobahn
- APC 1/4 on tire
- tire dressing with Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel








Polish with Maguiar's G220 V2 mircofiber kit
No pictures except this example of correction

Before :


After :


Not so bad

Some parts was made by hand with LC yellow pad and Meguiar's UC

A new rewash ans is was cleaner fluid time








After that I waxed the car with Swissvax Shield + platics dressing with Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel
Glasses were cleaned with Autoglym polish glass and Aquapel on front

The result is here









Not so bad for a 9 years paint

Yesterday I was at Le Mans on the Bugatti track.
It was great but my suspensions are a little too soft (120 000km).
I had the chance to be passenger of a C63 BS and it it awesome
