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.

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.
