I like 'Em Black - ML Pre Sale Detail.

[Scrooge]

A family member is looking to sell his ML 320CDi so I said i'd help prep it for him and take some pictures for the advert.

Was on a very small timescale as i've been really busy all weekend with precariously placed ladders, chainsaws and ciders so I apoligise about the lack of process pictures.

Normal stuff;

Citrus pre wash
2BM
Decon
PDG inspection
Hex pad and Menz combo
Finished with Reload and other little touches

Uniform readings throught which was nice;

Swirly! by scrooge89, on Flickr

Fixed and a 50/50

De swirled by scrooge89, on Flickr

Wasn't the hardest paint so I got fairly good correction, it certainly looked 100% better than it did before

He did the interior himself as he was bored when I was playing with the rotary, I also gave him so Dressle to smarten the interior up and he loved it.

He's ordered new centre caps and exhaust trims as both are monumentally f*cked.

I drove it and I must say it shifted well for its size and I really quite liked it.

Thanks

Lovely finish mate. Like a good pre sale detail. Transforms a car.

What was the correction combo?

 

[Scrooge]

Thanks Menz 3000 and Hex white mate

I wanted something that would do some decent de swirling without needing refinement after and it did the job.

 

[Gally]

Which one is 3000 mate?

 

[Scrooge]

I forget you still work in funny money Gally lol, PO85RD I think

 

[Gally]

Lols! http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/shop/menzerna-super-finish-sf4500-po85rd.html

Finishing polish, they had another 85 that was sorta cutting but p3000 doesn't exist.

 

[Scrooge]

Haha, FF3000

I have soo many bloody Menz stuff, after trying a few it just worked well for what I wanted on the Benz.

Great work!

 

[Coby.]

Great results.... Lovely looking thing.

 

[Scrooge]

Thanks

It would benefit from a different style of wheels I think, couldn't believe they were 19s. Certainly don't look it!

 

[Coby.]

19's!!!!!

Those arches could swallow some serious size wheels.

 

[Scrooge]

I forgot to say this was up for 13.5k for on the and only had a couple of calls. After this detail and pictures it sold for £14k after a week.

Quite rewarding.

 

[Auto Finesse]

Lovely work!

You really added some depth and clarity back to that paint work
