Top job mate and great results, been following this on your other thread and was waiting for the pics.
I've been a fan of Menzerna for years and always used a DA until a few months ago when my DA broke and after advice on here I bought a rotary, wish I'd done it years ago it would have saved me days over the years I've been polishing.
I've also been using Poorboy's on the Volvo's with excellent results, clay first then Poorboys SSR1 followed by Black Hole Glaze then EXP Sealant looks fantastic.
Will do my CLK when the weather is better and still not decided whether to stick with the Menzerna or switch to Poorboys for that too

Jasper blue? Looks lovely in the sun, you can see you put a lot of work into that, cleaning cars properly is ridiculously time consuming... But worth it

Yes mate, after finding out my 2004 CLK had the Ceramicoat (look for the letter C before the paint code on the drivers door jamb) and reading lots about how tough it is I went for the rotary, and glad I did as I honestly don't think a DA would make much impression on removing defects..its as hard as glass that MB lacquer. Its hard work even with a rotary, maybe a coarser compound would do the job quicker...but hey, I'm no pro detailer and I was terrified of cutting through the lacquer (the entire paint from base coat to lacquer is only 0.1mm in thickness according to the Mercedes blurb on nano paint!)

Yes its Jasper Blue and yes its VERY time consuming..10 hrs of machining plus the stone chip repairs so say 20 hours and a lot of trial and error to get the right techniques.

Great job - that looks really super 
You should give yourself a well earned pat on the back there fella, thats a stunning finish for a 1st timer.
The jasper blue looks really nice I love the boot shot with the sun reflection, that shows the depth of finish you achieved.
