Detailed: Mercedes-Benz R500 *Picture Intensive
 

Got the chance to work on an R500 that was in poor condition. The wheels were heavily caked in brake dust, interior has yogurt thats been sitting for over a month, and car was dirty. Anyways, the cars lease is up soon so the owner decided to not have a full detail. He just wanted it cleaned up and have a coat of wax on it (BH Autobalm) so it could hide a bit of the defects. Wish I could have been more thorough, but owner said not to worry about it. Anyways products used:

Thanks for looking!

Jesus H. Christ, how the hell can you let yogurt sit for a month?

Unless it wasn't yogurt :eek:

Anyways, awesome job though.

Yeah...the yogurt stains were a PITA to remove. But anyways, the wheels aren't 100% clean but I did what I could with them. Owner said he's returning the car anyways since the lease is up so he said don't worry about it.

.

Its from the Raceglaze XL brush, its hard to avoid splatter when you have as much brake dust as this had. Normally I get minimal brake dust splatter on rims with moderate brake dust. But these rims were caked in it.

Great job! That yogurt situation was nuts I don't understand how you can treat your car like that, what happens in the house?

tat is one filthy car. great job on the cleaning. Did the owner only got a wax job done? no polish or paint correction?


u still havent give me a polish combo quote for me

;)

Good job as always man!

Thanks! It definitely wasn't fun to clean up.
Thanks, I'll send you a PM sorry
Thanks Jimmy!
