Early part of this week has been spent working on this E-Class AMG 
for a Client who's pervious car i had worked on, see HERE So dropped off at the weekend for me to crack on with first thing Monday morning:
Before:
First job on the list was to clean the wheels and arches, even tho i was to remove the wheels for thorough cleaning latter on in the detail, i like to do what i can with them on the car (makes a dirty job a bit cleaner) As Smart Wheels was used 3:1 for wheels, G101 3:1 for arches:
Then i set about cleaning door Jambs etc using G101 at 5:1 and some detail brushes:
Snow foam was then applied Mixed with Duragloss 902 & Auto Glym PM3, Rinsed down before reapplied and wash TBM using a lambswool mit, badges and panel gaps where cleaned with a detail brush and G101 (i know again) 8:1
Once dried off with a Serious Performance Drying towel, the car was brought in to the workshop for a thorough inspection of the paint including PTG readings, as you will see it had A FEW! swirls and holograms :doublesho these where really robing the paint of depth and gloss:
The PTG readings clearly show it had seen some paint in places all be it a decent job, it seems they needed to just spend a bit more time on the finishing:
The only defect (other than swirls and grams) i found was this:
The paint needs to be clean and free of any bonded contaminants before polishing can be done, so the paint work was clayed using Yellow clay and Megs LT as lube:
