PS Detailed: 2007 Black Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG 23 manhours
I had polished this clients S65 and F430 over 18 months ago.
He told me that he had taken the S65 to a local hack shop in town, but as you can see it was a waste of $300.
As soon as I arrived on scene and inspected the paint, I called Bret in on the job. I knew we where in for a full day of fun.
Interior-The clients interiors are always in pretty good condition.
The interior received the following:
Vac-Bret always spends plenty of time making sure every bit of debris is removed from the carpet. He uses brushes and compressed air while vacuuming.
All leather surfaces (a lot of leather in this interior) where cleaned with Z9 and conditioned with Z10. The client is a Z10 junky, he just loves the smell.
All wood surfaces are hand polished with ZAIO.
Glass cleaned to perfection with IG and a quality WW.
The alcantara headliner was wiped down with a damp short nap MF.
QEW wash.
Straight IPA wipedown x3 to remove whatever the little shop of hacks used on the paint.
Clayed with Zaino clay and Z6 as a lube.
Surbuf pad with M105 ready to go:
50/50 after:
M105/surbuf/XPPC6
M205/white LC flat/XPPC6

Followed by M205/white LC flat/XPPC6
Entire car was polished with the above process.

Bret and I returned a few weeks later. I did a new car prep on his DBS (coming soon) while Bret cleaned up his V-Rod (coming soon.) Bret then washed the S65, applied Z8 to the paint and Z-16 to the tires.
Finally some sun pics of the S65.
