2002 ML500 detailed!

This car is a 2002 Mercedes Benz ML500 that spent a week in cape cod parked on the beach. It was also driven all around new england prior to its last wash. Well the rims were black and the car was white (from salt). here are the before pictures.


these are the rims, YUCK!

The rims came out amazing, i spent approx 30 minutes on each one, did the inside and out of them, WITHOUT TAKING THE WHEEL OFF! The car had 3 coats of SG on it and I added a P21S topper to it. EO tire wet on the tires, and i used simple green to clean the wheel wells. Yikes. here are the afters.
Silver all the way through!

What an awesome smooth reflection

another shot of the rims, im so impressed by it. And look at the tires, that is eagle one WET tire dressing, i love it. No buffing!

here is a shot in direct sunlight.

I love the all black theme, especially when its all shiny!

ooo yummy exhaust tips polished with EO nevr dull.

Zaino vs. klasse , Our ML (the one with the gray trim) is very dirty so it is an unfair comparison imo. but cool pic otherwise!

Looks very nice - I have one q though. Does this ML have the '02 ML55 grille on it (silver with chrome stripes)? Because it picture 6 it looks like it does but pic 7 it doesn't.

1999 ML320
very nice =)

LOVEEEE the look of that ML55 grill and exhaust. Very sharp.

I think I am gonna purchase the ML55 Chrome Grill style for my 99 ML320 soon. It makes the car looks more exclusive.

Will post the picture when i install it.
