N8 KOW v 08 C180 Silver

[N8]

Hi Peeps,

This detail took place yesterday and I was having a constant battle with the weather but it looked as if things were on my side! It belongs to a good friend of mine and is a Mercedes C180 Kompressor with the AMG styling pack and a few nice options.

On to the car, car was fairly grubby before hand, not to bad, mainly the wheels needed some TLC.

First I gave the wheels I rinsed off with the Karcher, loosen the grittle & grime.

Tyres were then scrubbed with Megs Tyre Brush & Megs APC

Then Bilberry sprayed on the fronts & backs and worked in with the good old Envy brush

EZ Detail brush was to follow on the backs

Then a microfibre cloth was used on the inner part of the spokes

Which were black to say the least!!

Following Tardis, the backs had come out a treat!

Megs APC again and Vikan Brus were used on the Arches

Here were all 4 rims worth of dirt

A 50/50, back rim untouched, front one cleaned

Both Done

Following the Rims, then engine was given a seeing too (Was hardly any dirt at all)

303 Used

Resulting in

Car was then rinsed off

All the shuts were done via Megs APC & Envy Brush (becoming a favourite of my kit!)

Car was then foamed & left to dwell

Car was then rinsed off

2BM method with Megs Shampoo & MF Wash Mitt

Car cleaned rigoursly & throughly

Car was then clayed via Megs Mild Clay & Last Touch

There is something about this shape Merc that has me going, it just has such a nice design/curves, but its when I see internals of mercs it makes me think twice.

Car was then re-washed, here are the 2 buckets afterwards

Spectators had been gathering, LOL, Good old Carson

Car then dried via leaf blower & Sonus Drying Towel

Which left me with the following

I nipped in to have some lunch and came back to the pooring rain! My last gazebo had broke, and haven't bought another as yet, but I will do

Luckily the rain had stopped, so out with the leaf blower & drying towel again

Clouds were opening up!

Jeffs was used today, starting with the prime

Exhausts were attacked first, via my new 3 amigos (Autosol/Megs Polish/Blackfire Metal Sealant)

Which took us from this

To this

Wheels sealed with Poorboys Wheel Sealant

Tyres dressed with Blackfire

Which had taken us from this

To this

Interior was hoovered via the George, all panels wiped down with APC including Leathers, glass done via Megs Glass Cleaner

Even pedals were done

Which left me with the following
