Gave her the royal treatment. Wash, clay bar, wash again, then used a 1 step polish/wax. Still has some swirls in the paint from the previous owner taking it through car washes, but I'll have pro detailer knock those out.

That v12biturbo badge on the rear decklid on the upper right corner...is that something you've added? I've never seen that badging on any SL600 ever?
Car's lookin good bro...what brand/type 1 step polish/wax did you use? I like how it turned out

Lovely pics...While the turbine wheels are growing on me, do you have any plans for wheel upgrade (different style and +1 wheel size change). Are those 18"'s or 19"s? You just need a little more tire/wheel combo to fill in those rear fenders...
So how many times did you caress the sexy Beast after the detail? I do it all the time...my wife gets jealous and says I have two mistresses...

As for the wheels, of course I'm gonna upgrade em. Since there's only maybe another 2 months of non-Winter weather here, I'll probably wait until Spring. She'll go into hibernation here pretty soon. The stockers are 18" and I'll probably move to 19's, but no larger than that.
And of course they'll be drop in her future.

I'm gonna look for a W12 badge, and see if I can stir up some real controversy.
Like I said, found it in the spare tire well, popped it on to see how it looked. Most of my cars get completely debadged anyway. Don't fret fellas.
