Black C280 Detail
Well the new upgrade is uber cool, specially since we can now post pics (I hope
)
I am posting up some pics of neglected black C280. Had some sap, bird poo, hard water spots and your general marring. After the hand wash it was clayed I then set out to level the paint. I did this with a lake Country orange pad, DeWalt rotary and one product from Hi-temp called Magnum and then used a polishing pad with Powergloss by Menzerna, again with the rotary.
After this I used Menzerna IP with a polishing pad and the rotary. The last step was to burnish the paint with FP and then a layer of AIO.
Menzerna FMJ tops it off. Menzerna gives a great carnauba look and finish to the paint.
The stain you see on the hood is tree sap that was smeared in an attempt to remove it. Here are a few BEFORE's and following some AFTER's.
