THE Mook Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Hello Again! I had this client contact me a while back to get this car back to swirl free and mean looking again. This is a Mercedes Benz SL63 AMG. Black on black on black on black on....you get my point. Upon initial inspection, I could tell that I would have my work cut out for me. Like so many of the cars I have been seeing lately, lots of swirls, some water etching, and a general good cleaning, this car was all in need of. The Products and Process: · Wheel Wells and Tires cleaned with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner and the Adam's 20" Fender Brush.· Wheels cleaned with Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner, Adam's Boulder Blonde Boar's Hair Wheel Brush, Adam's Wheel Woolies and Adam's Turbostick.· Engine Bay cleaned with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner, Adam's Wheel Woolies, and Adam's Boulder Blonde Boar's Hair Wheel Brush.· Two Bucket Wash with Grit Guards and Two Wash Pads from the Adam's Complete Two Bucket Wash Kit.· Vehicle was dried using Adam's Air Force Master Blaster and Adam's Great White Drying Towel.· Engine Bay, Tires and Trim were first decontaminated with Adam's APC and Adam's Edgeless Utility Towels. Then dressed with either Adam's SVRT or Adam's In and Out Spray.· Wheel Wells were dressed with Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray.· Vehicle was masked with Adam's Professional Detailer's Masking Tape.· Door Jambs were cleaned with Adam's Waterless Wash and Adam's Waterless Wash Towels.· Interior and Exterior Glass cleaned with Adam's Glass Cleaner and Adam's Glass Cleaning Microfiber Towels.· Decontamination of paint and glass was done using Adam's Detailing Claybar and Adam's Detail Spray as a lubricant.· Paint was corrected (holograms, swirl marks and water spotting) with the Flex 3401VRG Polisher, Adam's 7" Orange Microfiber Paint Cutting Pad, and Adam's Paint Correcting Polish.· The entirety of the paint was polished with the same polisher, Adam's 7" White Foam Paint Finishing Pad, and Adam's Paint Finishing Polish.· Paint and Glass Pieces were treated to Adam's Brilliant Glaze via the Adam's 7" Red Glazing Pad or the Adam's Americana Premium Wax and Glaze Applicator. · Paint was treated to Adam's Americana Paste Wax.· All Polish, Glaze, and Wax residue removed with Adam's DoubleSoft Towels.

THE Mook Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Here is what it looked like on arrival: Take a look at the hand built motor... The Exhaust Tips needed restored. The car had minimal bug guts to remove. This one splattered pretty good. Even though it was dirty, look how the marks were apparent. Another faded cowl. The Wheels and Tires weren't too bad. Being Black, of course they looked faded and dirty. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Action Shots... Adam's APC was of course the answer to get the Tires and Wheel Wells cleaned and ready for dressing. Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner was used because the wheels weren't super dirty. No sense in throwing a cannon at an ant hill. The Boulder Blonde Boar's Hair Brush and Trim and Lug Brush were both very effective at dirt removal. The Engine seemed to sigh in comfort upon the bath I gave it. Yes, the paint was filthy upon clay inspection. Doing some testing, getting artsy. I would say that one pass each of the new Duo was the Correct Answer.

ihaveacamaro Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hey Mook, take a look at the links in the first page in the Dark theme. Nearly blinded my eyes lmao Just a heads up about possibly changing the color. That was some awesome correction btw!
