Mercedes CLS55 AMG

[Inequality Street]

Very cold and early start, but worth it in the end! A very happy owner.

Process:

Snow Foamed with AB Magifoam (Still need to sort my lance out, but after a fiddle it foamed slightly better)
Wheels with Imperial & Wheel Woolies
Meguairs APC for arches etc
Washed with Hubikote
Iron X'd, surprisingly not much on the car at all, wheels were quite pitted however.
AF ObliTARate where needed
Clayed with CarPro Green Clay (fine) and some DoDo Juice Born to be slippy lube
Re-foamed
Open hosed and dried, using a blower for the little gaps/grilles
Tripple via MF app
Finale wipe down
Waxed with Zymol Carbon
Tyres dressed with Meguairs Endurance
Trim with Revive
Exhaust tips with AF Mercury

Interior vacuumed, cleaned with Lucas Oil interior cleaner and dressed with Wolfs Silk Milk.

Also gave him a roughly 20ml sample of Hydr02 for top ups. Can't rate this product enough, is fantastic. Buy some!!

So, finally some pictures. Didn't get any during, but hopefully this does it justice:

Its not the best styled AMG out there I must admit!

Completely random question - Do many of the neighbours use their garages or are they too narrow?

 

[AdDaMan]

Fugly?! no way. awesome car.

Not many people here use their garages for cars. Would have no problem with a Clio sized car, but my Dads 3 Series doesn't really fit

Thought that may be the case! Makes it hard looking for houses when 80% of garages are that narrow you can't use them for medium sized cars. I just want to be able to use a garage like I have been at my parents! So nice in the winter!

Cars these days are too big! I'm attempting to talk my parents into one massive door and get rid of the centre divide. Its not going well though! Haha

Theres a great example of that being done on Detailing World at the moment in the garages section. It really does make the garage and even house look more premium! He wouldn't say how much it cost though...

Looks great! Except for (and take this as constructive) the exhausts. Needs work! Bit of mercury would have seen them silver again!

I used Mercury on them! They were disgusting! I would have broke out the wire wool, but I couldn't find it

 

[david1987]

Wow what an awesome looking car.

I was thinking the same JD. Oh and you need a better camera.

I do like CLS, oh and nice work RyG

Ah fair enough, bit baked on then. Still, I would have - part of the detail.

I don't get this part, I did. Just didn't want to spend hours on an exhaust?

[Scrooge]

Always have wire wool handy Nice job.

Not getting at you, Ry. I'm saying I have Halfords two seconds away so would have popped in for some wire wool. Just couldn't leave them like that with the rest of the car looking as good as it does!
