Hi Guys

Had this in for the last 2 days. Is a customer who had his another mb in for the same service. Loved it so much he booked this mb in. This was a crystal lacquer protection for paint, glass and wheels inc wheels off. Two of the wheels needing refurbing so we completed that too and the interior was given a full detail.

Process was:

Degrease lower half inc inside arches and rinsed.
Snow foamed and rinsed.
Washed using the 2bm inc shuts and gaps with G-wash
tar deposits removed with tardis and a wet microfibre then rinsed.
Chemical bath, re washed then rinsed.
Taken inside and dryed with 70/30 towel and warm air blower.
Clayed with dodo juice gentle grey and megs last touch for lube.
Clay sling removed with ipa and lots of microfibres.
paintwork prepped with P2 on a 3m black pad.
Paint treated to Gtechniq C1.
Glass treated to G-Techniq G1
Interior plastics degreased, dryed and treated to poorboys plastic dressing.
Leather cleaned with zaino z9 and a AG scrubbing pad.
Leather treated to G-techniq leather guard.
Dash degreased, dryed and treated to C6.
Interior glass cleaned with megs glass cleaner.
Detailed vacuum with mats and carpets treated to I1

Then it was time to clean the wheels. The car was put up on the ramp as 2 of the wheels were going to be refurbed. So the other 2 were going to need a good clean in order to match to two freshly re furbished wheels.

So the wheels were removed and taken outside. First was to treat them with bilberry wheel cleaner and scrub with a detailing brush:

Yeah there still dirty!

The wheels were scrubbed and rinsed along with the tyres. Then the wheels were taken back inside to be dried, all tar removed then given a full ipa wipe down. C5 was then applied and this is what I was left with. I think they should match the refurbished wheels quite nicely.
