Detailed SL55
I spend 2 days detailing my SL55 with very satisfing results.
SL was wash with Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II,then clay with Luber, then Menzerna Super Intensive Polish PO83, then Menzerna PO106FA Nano Polish, then Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger and finish with Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Hard wax.
All polish was applied with Flex XC3401VRG-easy to use.

Looks great. I'm trying to clean up swirls on my 2007 SL55 that is black. I'm using a porter cable XP with M105 and WG total swirl remover and I'm having a hard time around the decals and the bumper in the back, any tips, did you remove any emblems? Thanks

you can repeat the step at least one more time prior to use the next polisher.
appropiate polishing pad is needed for better results. also PC XP is slower than the Flex and takes longer to get great results.
bumpers as above.
I didn't remove the emblem, just be carefull on the corners.
prior to do my car detailing I did search/read/saw different videos posted from detailing sponsors. There's a lot of info.

there's a LOT of info & video from our Detailing forum sponsors. search for them.
here's 2 links that you can spend one day completely reading on how to do it.
www.detailedimage.com/Auto-Detailing-Guide
http://www.detailersdomain.wordpress...tegory/how-tos
the above sponsor does actually likes to share their passion about cars.
just start reading & viewing videos and enjoy.

I bought all items/products at www.detailedimage.com, however www.detailersdomain.com does also has a good reputation at this site. Look for the best deal and email this sellers if you have any questions.
