2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450
Good evening,
Yes, some of you might have seen this one already. I did a simple wash 'n Zaino on this SUV back in early April. The customer called me and said that he wanted it all polished out, and I had some time on Sunday to take care of it. And he had a surprise for me waiting, more on that later... 1) Foam with Citrus Wash 'n Gloss (strong mix to strip Zaino) 2) Wash with Citrus Wash 'n Gloss and ShMITT (strong mix to strip Zaino) 3) Megs Multi Piece on the wheels, with DB wheel brush to get them clean 4) Dried with Sonus Der Wunder towel 5) M105 w/ Flex / Orange CCS / 4 / on hood (didn't work) 6) SIP w/ Flex / Orange CCS / 5 7) 85RD w/ Flex / White CCS / 5 8) Zaino Z1 9) Zaino Z5 Pro 10) Zaino Z2 Pro 11) Megs Last Touch wipe down - P21S Metal Polish/Nevr Dull on exhaust pipes - Adam's VRT on tires - Last Touch on wheels, door seals - Duragloss 751 on all windows - 1Z Cockpit Cleaner/Plastic Cleaner on all plastic and vinyl - 1Z Leather Condition on all leather (great stuff!!!) - Adam's Undercarriage Spray The hood has some deep water etching that came off well with SIP. For the deeper RIDS, I decided to give the M105 a try. That stuff FLASHED QUICKER THAN A DUTCH WHORE DURING MARDI GRAS! I got about 5-10 seconds of working time out of it, horrible. No matter what speed I used, and this was all done in a climate controlled garage. Gave that up VERY quickly! Anyway, on with the photos... Upon arrival at 9:30am, already 85 outside...  Dirty, but nothing too bad.  SURPRISE! Had a CR unit waiting for me to be used!!! This thing is SO WICKED!!!  Zaino beading STRONG!!!  VERY STRONG!  Nice nice nice...  AFTERS! The blue metallic paint is gorgeous...     The pipes came out nicely!   Hope you all enjoyed. Comments and questions are always welcome. P1et

Great job Piet! I knew you would love the CR. Great peace of mind not having to worry about waterspots especially when its so freakin' hot outside! I do love the blue on that thing as well. You are doing some very fine work my friend!

Amazing work as usual! I didn't know that Zaino can be stripped with Citrus wash and gloss. I'm sure it will put a dent in it, but I still prefer polishing, or some chemical cleaner to completely remove previous layers of sealant.
P21S followed by Never Dull on tail pipes, huh? Came out awesome! 1Z leather stuff, how is it compared to other quaility leather products, like 4*, Wolfgang/Pinnacle, Leather Master, or Surf City Garage? It's kinda pricey, just wanna make sure it's worth it.

Great Job Piet. I have heard that M105 is hard to get used to using. That it works quick and flashes quickly. I have a bottle of M95 that I am picking up today. Heard it works a little longer but still leaves the nice finish of 105. I think SuperBee has used them both and thats who I read that 95 is nice also. I will report back when I need to use it.
