Thought id share a Full 2 day detail i've just done on this w204, Lovely car.







It was in quite a state..... See the scratches under the uv light



So abit of a machine polish After the car had been prep'd

She came up lovely, Car was rinsed, Snow foamed, Rinsed then Body shampoo, Clayed, then a Paint cleanse, Machine polish, Washed, And finshed off with Paste Wax. Wheels were done with Non acidic Iron fall out which is safe for Bodywork and Diamond cut wheels then polished and wax'd, Along with door bottom's and door shuts.

Plastics treated with the usual Meg's gel along with wheel archs and door rubber's, Carpets hoovered and shampoo'd

Well worth the time and effort!

Looks very good.
Mine needs doing but I haven't got the inclination to do it myself. I also don't have the kit and if I'm not going to be doing it regularly enough it would be a waste of money.

Thanks peeps, It was the Father in laws car, He bought it 4 years ago, and never polished it. It only ever got a wash when it went to the dealer's for a service.

It's a hobby of mine, I have 6 children so i like hiding in the garage out of the way haha. He asked me to do it for a belated Xmas present, Now my garage was free since selling the e55 it was good timing.

ROTFL, yeah such a shame, If it was mine it would be kept like that all the while lol, Probably have to do it again Next Year haha

 

[AMGeed]

Doesn't look like those alloys have been cleaned since he had it,
Shame when its so easy to keep them clean.

Looks like his Xmas present for next year is sorted then

Haha yes , doesn't look like there are many decent e55 k estate's about pmsl. So the garage may well still be free

Yes strange one, Deffo a fault, it's his spare key he gave me, He hasn't used it since buying the car, I think perhaps the battery is getting low in the fob. Sometimes it wont release when you turn the car off. Strange???
