2005 Black SL55 Paint Correction

An otherwise very clean car, the new owner wanted to get it to another level. The car was dropped off today and I will be done with it tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to take some good shots of this beast.

Right side, half of roof and the whole rear is done.

As you will see I didn't make it out to the sun.

There was constraction going on of all things so I had to stay in the back while polishing. Came out to do a quick wash and blow dry and pulled right back in. I will be seeing this car again so sun pictures will be up when available.

After HD POXY




After Pinnacle Signature Series II Carnauba Paste Wax

Looks great! On a side note - the stock SL55 ride height makes the car look like a 4X4.......

Amazing job!

Even though my car is silver I still would like to get this done to my paint.
