S550 Detailed

Exterior:
ONR wash
AA Tire Shine Gel
Sonus Green Clay in certain areas
NXT 2.0
#000 extra fine wool with mothers billet aluminum polish one exhaust tips

Interior:
Meguires QID
303 Aerospace Protectant

It hasn't seen an automatic wash in it's life and I've managed to keep it swirl free without problems so no polishing was necessary. The ceramic clear coat is awesome, wish my bmw had this paint.

The paint used on MB now is at a different level than ours. Orangepeel aside, it just looks like a million bucks from upclose.]

Your detail looks great.

How did you like the steel wool with polish on the exhaust? Was it your first time using it?

The paint really is great, and the orange peel isn't nearly as bad as the soft bmw paints.

Thank you, I think I need a new camera or to just learn how to take better pictures though. I didn't put up the interior pics because they were pretty bad.

The steel wool worked great, it was my first time using it, and I was really impressed how easily I was able to polish the tips.

Beautiful job. Like the look of the new S Class. Some of these styling cues have dropped down to their C Class and it is now a decent looking car.
