Prelude to a larger detail on a Benz that I'll hopefully finish up this weekend.
Had the opportunity to detail a previous customer's new ride. He just picked up this 08 srt8 and wanted to look like new. no problem. I can do that!
Wasnt in the worst condition. The driver's side of the hood was torn up for some reason. The previous owner or dealership must have tried to correct something, but did an awful job at it. You'll see below! Whatever, it cleaned up easily. Otherwise, it just had some staining on the paint from being splashed by something. Roof needed the most claying out of any area, and the wheels really needed some tlc. Otherwise, interior was in relatively good shape.
Once again, I dont do the best pics, before, after or during. Of course Silver paint doesnt help I dont know how some guys take the time to take quality shots, but I never seem to have the time to do it.
Anyway, here we go w/ the process.

My roof needs some love.
