Mercedes-Benz SL600 AMG
Another trip back to Northants this weekend saw me tackle the Merc SL600 AMG that I hoped to complete last time.
After putting the BMW 1-Series through an Enhance & Protect style detail, it was clear to us that more was required on the Merc. A single pass with Menzerna 203s maybe?!

Two images I received of the Merc a few weeks back:
Sat on its Summer wheels.. This is a 503bhp monster doing a 0-60 in 4.6s. Wahey!!
Overall, this is a very well looked after vehicle. The owner has their own little collection of Swissvax kit and is fanatical about the upkeep of the car.
OK, so, a few pre-detail shots.
Yep, the dogs are back!!
Since my last visit, the wheels had been swapped with the winter-set. These were cleaned and sealed last time, so, shouldnt be too much trouble this time round.
Thankfully, the Merc had adjustable suspension which allowed easy cleaning of the arches (without having to take wheels off again)
First up was the door-shuts and engine bay no photos here. Cleaned with a mix of G101, Super-degreaser and brushes etc.
Wheels and arches were cleaned with APC and Super-degreaser.
Vehicle given a good rinse and snowfoam delivered to loosen any surface dirt.
Washed with Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild and a SV wash pad.
Previous protection showing through now:
This was stripped back though with the claying stage. Not bad in terms of containments, one or two stubborn built-up areas to deal with.
Vehicle given a good rinse again and then water-sheeted over panels to aid the drying stage.
