Detailer's Domain: 335i coupe - fixing other detailer's mistakes
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
What was done -
Exterior
- Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner and cleaned up with various brushes
- Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Clayed
- Dried
- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheel Wells were cleaned and dressed with Adam's Undercarriage Spray
- Tires dressed with Swissvax Pneu
- Masking
- 3 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105 with an Uber Yellow, Menzerna Super Intensive Polish with an Uber Green and Menzerna PO85RD with an Uber Blue)
- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight
- Last Step - Swissvax Blau Weiss
- Rubber and Plastics Treated
- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed
- Exhaust tips cleaned

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.

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!
