Hello all, today's write up is a solid black C63. The car received a 2 step process that took over 2 days to complete. I spent around 14 hours total. The protection is Opti Guard, the professional version of the ver popular Opti Coat.

 

The wheels weren't terribly dirty, and the color doesn't really show dirt, but I cleaned them anyway.

 

Wheels before:

I then foamed the car down with a strong mixture of soap and all purpose cleaner to strip existing protection, this also lets me see the real condition of the car:

This is what I found after I stripped away the protection:

looks nice! what was the polish you used?

Scholl Concepts S3 for the initial step, HD advance polish to finish

Looks great, I've been trying to get a neighbor to one if my customers who has a 63 amg to let me polish it out. No luck, said he can't see the swirls I'm talking about...

Dude..... that sucks! You can only see it go to crap and can't do nothing about it!

John, is there any way he would let you do a test spot? Do it right in an obvious spot where the area you've done will look fantastic (like your work always does) thus making the rest of his car look like crap

 

I could, but to me, sometimes it's a disservice to offer my customers something they can't appreciate or use. He's one of those guys that takes it to a 3 dollar tunnel wash down the street and thinks it looks brand new and the best it can look.... You try to point out the 37 missed spots and it's like a deer in the headlights lol
