Default Merc ML500 and A Harley

My client just got this and after riding it a few times, wanted a quick cleaning. The whitewalls were scrubbed with a toothbrush and citrus cleaner and then the whole bike was wiped down with Werkstat Acrylic Glos. The tank and fenders were finished with a coat of Pinnacle Souvern.













Todays job was just a winter detail for a regular client.
• Foamed with citrus cleaner
• Washed with CWG
• Inner fenders and tires cleaned with AG Powermax2. Wheels were quite dirty so were done with a strong acid and different brushes.
• Engine sprayed down with AG Powermax2 and rinsed
• Jambs wiped down with PB Spray & Gloss
• Glass cleaned with Werkstat Prime Strong
• Interior vacuumed, wiped down with citrus cleaner and seats conditioned with Lexol
• LSP today was Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger x2 including jambs
• Wheels received PB Wheel Sealant and Blue Dew Tire Dressing
• Trim dressed with 303 protectant

Total time today - 6.5 hours













Truck was foamed with citrus cleaner, left to soak for two or three minutes and rinsed








Check out the crud in this lady's welts!


All glass in and out got Werkstst Prime Strong


Found a good use for my Coors Lite cooler bag


A year ago every car got AG Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection. Now look what you guys have done!!




LSP of the day was Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger.
































Thanks for looking

Creative use with the Coors pack

Where do you get your Werkstat products from? How do you like them?

I just order straight from Jeff at Werkstat. The Werkstat products are great. There is a knack to using them but once you pick it up it's dead easy. I'm ordering some in the next week or so, is there anything you'd like to try. I'll send you a sample.

I did a white ML500 and it had some terrible brake dust as well and I needed to use Megs Wheel brightener (acid based) to clean them. However no matter how many times I cleaned and scrubed the inners of the wheel there was still some brake dust in there. What acid did you use?

Very generous of you to offer that up to me

Problem for me is the garage is packed away for the winter and that puts detailing off untill spring again I am pretty upset that I couldnt get my shed built this year so that I could use the garage as it was intended for........Mabey I need to learn how to not be such a pack rat


What Werkstat products do you enjoy using? Not much mention of those products around here........

Oh come on. Done til spring? It's one degree above zero here this morning and I'm heading out! Turn that frown upside down buddy! Their carnauba and acrylic line are nice - both are quite easy to use when you get the hang of it.

I'm a big fan of the new MLs, great looking SUVs! Where did you get those red applicators, and how do you like them?
