Mercedes ML-63 Correction & Detail
This vehicle belongs to a good client of mine who USUALLY gets his cars to me as soon as he aquires them......(lol)
but this is what happens when you wait a year and a half(as the saying goes "you can pay me now, or pay me later").
Here is 1.5 years worth of crud and marring, but this story has a happy ending.
Grill was marred and riddled with hard water spots.
"B" pillars were in need of major correction.
Interior was dirty as well.
Started with the interior first as I had no shade at the time the vehicle was brought in to complete the wash.
I spent a considerable amount of time on small details such as the door jambs, here is some cosmoline and built up dirt.
Agitating.
Following with steam.
Same area after correction.
Thorough wash and clay procedure to follow, speaking of clay there was quite a bit of fallout on the vehicle displayed by the amount on the clay bar.
After the wash was completed,it was time to tackle the hard water etch problem.
Taped up for 50/50 pics.
Making progress.
Entire window corrected.
As I like to tackle the harder parts of the correction first, I next moved onto the "B" pillars.
Close pic shows amount of marring, I would spend over an hour a side.

ML-63 Correction cont........
On the silver finish it was hard to capture the marring evident, the semi-chrome body trim though tells the story.
Wheels were scratched up pretty good as well.
After correction.
The finish corrected.
After interior shots.
Sun pics.
Remember the wheels?????
Before "B" pillars.
After.
LSP on this vehicle was Menzerna Power Lock/collonite 915 courtesy of Phil @ Detailers Domain.....thanks Phil.
