Cette Mercedes est quel que peu rare ; Seulement 500 au Canada. Cette peinture n’était pas un terrain inconnu pour moi ressemblant beaucoup à la C280 que je poli à chaque année. Sans virer sul top, on voulait avoir le meilleur fini possible en une journée de travail. Alors, voilà.

This special C36 AMG is quite rare considering there’s only 500 imported to Canada and god know how much is left on the road now. However, the paint and body wasn’t new for me so I had a better idea how to polish the paint. However, a surprise was waiting me..

Process:
2 wash bucket
Clay bar
Chemical decon
Engine bay
Interior
3-step polish
Swissvax Cleaner fluid
Swissvax Crystal Rock.

Car at arrival, quite dirty but that is part of my detailing job to clean the paint ( too many peoples ask me if they should clean the car before, don’t worry I will take care of that task :p)

Décontaminant chimique qui coule sur le plancher. Sur une peinture noir, c’est impossible à photographié, mais vous voyez bien que ça travail.

Correction 50/50. This step is to test my correction process on a certain panel ( usually the hood) to make sure I like my result. As you can see the major RIDS remains but all the swirls are gone:

God!!! Have you seen the trunk !? :( I tried my best to make it pop but I couldn’t do magic with thin paint..

Remarquez la peinture qui craque sur le coffre, c’est impossible pour moi de faire une correction débile quand je vois ce genre de défaut:

Taping the whole car :

I then took some reading everywhere and I told the owner, I never ever detailed a car with that low of a thin paint, it kinda scared me to be really honest with you. With such variation + cracked paint on the trunk + repainted panel, I wasn’t nervous but I knew it would not be a walk in the park!
