2011 Mercedes C-63 Exterior Detail
 
Completed recently@ the shop, this car had a "few issues" as most cars now have from dealers handling the car.

Very understated color, this vehicle had some hard water etching and tree sap droppings, the car came in the week before for a spot repair(deep scratches on drivers side rear door which was spot sanded, levelled and touched up with factory touch up paint).


The owner stated this model has a few things different from the standars C-63 such as Red calipers and 480 horsepower(going by the customer as I am not up on this model).


At the beginning......

After foam compounding stage, although not terrible "C" pillars if they are black always require some effort.

Tree sap mark and marring on carbon decklid spoiler.

Cleaning the tow hook cover, as there was built up polish residue(dealer installed) inside and around the cover.

Had about 12.5 hours on the car, time for sun pics as the car is now "as new". "C" pillars looking as they should.

Tightness has been achieved!

can't believe how poorly that car came in. it's nice to know that the car is all sorted now.

Well done. Tree sap can be a bugger to remove.

Its a P31 model, Performance Package Plus it makes more than advertised 505bhp. The car has the forged SLS AMG internals and crank. Its faster than a modded non P31 C63.
