Morning all....
So over the years I have worked on a few Mercedes models. This one was actually a C class diesel that had had the exterior and interior upgraded to Brabus spec. I couldnt tell it wasnt original
The owner was nervous as he had already had the car in his words "detailed twice before" to get it right, but a short while after it had been done, the swirls and marks just came back. I told him it was likely just hand polished with a bunch of filler based products so whilst it may look nice and shiny....they didnt remove any defects from the paint...which isnt paint correction...its more just a good valet job. So we discussed the level of finish he wanted and the job was taken on to fully correct the paintwork and touch up the alloys as they had lost the odd bit of paint on the curb face of the rims. Having only 1 day free at the time, I did the whole car in a single long session. It took around 14 hours all in if I recall correctly.
He was really happy with the finish though and I gave him a cree light to walk round the car and inspect the paint so he could see it had been properly corrected. He was made up with it and finally he had the car he had envisaged
Here are some pictures I took as I went along....I didnt have time to take loads as I had enough work to do
The Q Performance signage you can see in some of the pictures is in no way connected with any work on this car...I just used their unit to work in
