2010 BMW 335 I Coupe

This car came to us with swirls and huge haze marks. The customer called me upset about what a local detailer recently did to his new car. What the detailer did was rip thru the car in 3 hours with a compound and glaze. i believe this was not necessary at all especially on a new car. Damage done. The car was fixed with M105 - SIP - PO85RD
Last Step = Swissvax Blau Weiss

Looks great!
What process/products would you recommend on my 07 Black mercedes?
It's got a few chips and scratches and swirl marks and I want to see how good I can make it look. Thanks.

detailersdomain

do you plan on buying the porter cable.

JulianH

Definitely.
I've used Zaino in the past.
I just clayed my silver benz and used some mother's cleaner wax that I had laying around (pictures below, took with my iphone, so quality isn't great).
But I've never used a buffer.
Been doing some research and I'm thinking of
Menzerna P083 (buffer)
then Menzerna Nano Polish (buffer)
Menzerna Power Lock (hand)... maybe 2 coats.
top with Collinite 915 Wax a few days later.
What do you think?
Thanks!
