Default Febuary 2008 Entry : 2002 Mercedes CLK320

Good day,

This Mercedes was an absolute pleasure to work on. The customer bought it two years ago and tastefully added the wheels, black grill and rear spoiler. The paint was tired, dull and had hard water deposits combined with many fine scratches. Initially, only a wash n' wax was requested but we decided that at least a one-step polish would make a big difference. And it did! I arrived at about 7:15am and my interior specialist Holden arrived a litte later.

PAINT
--------
1) Wash with CG Citrus Wash n' Gloss w/ ShMITT
2) Dry with Guzzler and CG Blue Waffle Weave
3) PO85RD on white LC CCS pad w/ Flex on 5 (2x on hood and boot)
4) CG EZ Creme Glaze via PC on gray LC CCS pad
5) CG Jetseal 109
6) Lusso Oro

WHEELS
----------
1) Meguiars Hot Rim Multi-Piece
2) P21S Sponge
3) Swissvax Wheel Brush
4) Sealed with Jetseal
5) Natural Look 2x on tires

INTERIOR
------------
1) 1Z Cockpit Premium
2) CG Total Interior Cleaner
3) Zymol Leather Cleaner
4) Duragloss Leather Conditioner
5) Detailers Domain Boar's Head Brush

Before:
---------






Tried to capture the swirls, you can see the paint wasn't looking great...


Holden busy on the interior!


One said done, looking promising!


Holden busy cleaning up the engine compartment...


Halway:

This is after EZ Creme and Jetseal!








After (now topped with Lusso Oro):
-----------------------------------------












Favorite towel, favorite wax...










Hope you enjoyed!!!

Yep, the weather really started warming by the time we were done!!! Personally, I would use my "bad" MFs for wiping sweat from my brow, but Holden isn't quite familiar with the color coding yet, hahahaha!!!
