Default June 2008 Entry: Mercedes C240

This car is a proof that household products is not good for cars..
"Ajax" + ordinary sponge = not good!

Product list:
Wash:
Tar Remover
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash + Gloss
Green MF mitt
Grit Guard
Dehydrator Towel
Ez Detail Brush
Muc-Off Wheel Cleaner
ONR Clay Lube
Riccardo Clay

Paint:
Makita 9227
Brinkmann
Sonus SFX-1
Sonus SFX-2
3m black pad
Mirka Wool
3m Imperial P2000
3m 3434 Blue Painters Tape
Menzerna Powergloss Compound
Menzerna SIP
Menzerna 106ff

Protection:
Chemical Guys Jetseal 109
DP Max Wax

Inspection after wash and clay:














You don't even need light to see the scratches/swirls..















Started out with SIP and a Sonus SFX-1 pad.. Still lots of RDS remaining..


Here is after SIP + Sonus SFX-1, Fast Cut Plus + Wool, 2x Powergloss + wool and 106ff + 3m finishing pad:







This car was perfect for me to practice using Powegloss compound!
So here we go..






Left side done:


After this I was tired of re-doing every panel to get rid of RDS.. So I wetsanded the other side:








Started polishing:


Tested with Sonus sfx-2 and 106ff after compounding, this combo did the trick!




And the rest:




These panels are NOT wetsanded, they are all swirled up!





And then the finishing:








Sunlight trough the window!




















Car was finished at 2am, so no good after pictures.. No sun
After Jetseal and Max Wax:
