Nice Detail Work on the 211

I Have the AMG 19 s On the W211 and Bought them from MBENZNL.com

The only time my car also in black looks this good is when I take it to the
paint shop where they " mop " the car taking out all the spider web lines
then highly polishing. However have you ever noticed how good your car can
look depending on the light. I find when it's dusk my cars look incredible,
direct sunlight I think is worse.
But I luv attention to detail, not only is your car like glass, the exhaust looks
good too, why do some valet's forget the exhaust?

It won't last!

Looked great for the mag photoshoot though.

Off to Santa Pod in the morning for my first attempt on a drag strip - I'm sure the extra slippery paintwork will shave off a few hundredths of a second

Car is going back to the detailer for a coat of GTechniq Nano Crystalline and to remove the 50+ paintchips that appeared after the proper cleaning job

It looks as if the heart of the job was the Zaino AIO.... which is a simple 'all in one' process and what I use on the wifes car. Easy to maintain every few monts and it works great.
