Default 2010 M-Benz E350 Detail

Hi guys

I hope everyone is staying warm this winter and your beloved ride is well protected from the winter elements.

I have a 2010 M-Benz E350 in for it's first ever detail. It rained the whole day, so the car came with a lot of road grime. The owner only wanted a exterior protection detail, no interior detail was carried out here... The paint had a lot of contaminates and rear bumper was damaged, couldn't do anything about the damages. Wheels were filthy after years of improper caring, so I did my best to clean them.

So here we go


Paint




  • CG CWG
  • MS SGS
  • Iron X
  • Stoner Tarminator
  • Ricarrdo Clay
  • Sonus Green clay
  • GG glass clay
  • IPA 2:1
  • Tons of MF towels
  • Metro Vac & blow
  • I-845






Wheels and Tires



  • Megs WB 4:1
  • AG CWC 1:1
  • 303 Aerospace on tires
  • I-845 on rims
  • Metro Vac & blow
  • MF towels



Interior


  • 1Z cockpit
  • Metro Vac & blow




Glass



  • I-845
  • Stoners glass cleaner
  • DD glass towels

Damn, that is beautiful! If you were not on Jersey, I bring my car to you! My only problem, would be if my car ever was that clean I'd never drive it! Where can I pick up the Ricarrdo Clay, Sonus Green clay, GG glass clay?

I know a few detailers in mid Atlantic area that can produce the same level of detail. here's just one off the top of my head

Ricarrdo clay is imported from Canada, sonus green clay is discontinued, and Griots Garage glass clay can be found at We Are Car Care -- Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detailing Supplies, Car Buffers & Car Accessories Store.
