Mercedes E320 Detailed
Not having it parked in a garage, and lots of trees meant it was dirty and contaminated. Also, most likely brush washes and improper wash techniques were used. Paint was corrected about 75%.
Wash
CG CWC+ Zep Citrus Presoak (4:1)
MF Chenile for paintwork
Grout Sponge for lower half
Diamondite Bug Remover Presoak
Bug Sponge
RG for badges and seams
Peanut Butter (for the wax on rubber- worked wonders)
Wheels
RG Wheel Brush
RG (SV Style) Brush
Brown Royal 2:1
MF Mitt (wheel face)
EZ Detail Mini (behind spokes)
Clay
ONR Lube
Ricardo Yellow
Polish
PCXP
LC 5.5" +4" Orange
Menzerna SIP (left the finish great on the hard paint, but also removed a good amount of defects)
Sealant
Menzerna Power Lock
Interior
ZEP High Traffic Carpet Cleaner
Brush
PB Natural Look
Meguiars M40
APC 10:1
Croftgate Leather Protectant/Conditioner
Befores:
During:
Foamed with Brown Royal 2:1
After a few short passes! Yikes...
Polish needed some QD to being removed fully
Much better! No more damage (almost)
Good clarity in the trunk!
Much better than that mess on the hood before!
Hmm... That seems quite heavy.
Gone!
Afters:
Interior:
Thanks for Looking! If you have any questions feel free to ask and I can help you out!

You'd be surprised to see some great correction a PC can achieve. M105 and some of the latest tech like the Microfiber DA Pads can so wonders for paint (although on Toyota and Honda clears IME it left a light haze). Either way, near rotary level results!

It was just something I read around about and gave it a shot. I find that on carpet use its much better for stains then APC. But sometimes, the stain is nearly impossible to get out. Just ran out too, only had 32oz, but I think I'm going to grab a gallon this time.
