[b]This beautiful Black Mercedes SLK arrived to us with 34kms on the Clock! Brand spanking new from the Dealership basically!

However, it was clear that unfortunately the Dealership left the car in a state that a Brand New Car needed a Full Paint Correction prior to application of 22PLE Glass Coating Paint Protection over the paintwork.
As you can see its disturbing to still find brand new cars that are being delivered with Dealer induced Swirls, Holograms, Paint Defects, Grease/Finger Print Marks to you the Customer who has purchased the new car.

Below you we have attached quite a few pictures that show almost the entire car with imperfections from light marring, scratches, residual from the delivery adhesives, holograms and swirls.

So starting off we popped out the DAS6 Pro and a Surbuf Microfibre Cutting Pad (found in our DAS6/DAS6-Pro Kits) and FG500 which worked incredibly well as the Mercedes do have CeramiClear Coated Paint which is very hard and takes quite sometime to work through to remove the imperfections.


Shown here, car before it was washed and brought to us;











(Shown that whilst during inspection somebody had a very dirty gritty finger that marred the paintwork quite badly)










(Bit of tyre shine over your number plate cover? , Sure thing!)




(As seen in the door where a adhesive door foam was previously on, the best way to remove the residual adhesive is a kitchen scouring brush clearly..........)









(Tyre Dressing on your door as well? We can do that for you, free of charge!)




(This door adhesive residual is still visible and hasn't even been attempted to be removed by the Dealer!)







Now moving onto the correction. As mentioned we used the DAS6 Pro with the Surbuf Pad and also the Festool Rotex with the Surbuf Pad in combination with Menzerna FG500 to correct this ceramic clear coated paintwork, following on with Menzerna PF2500 on the Menzerna Yellow Pad and finishing up jewelling the paintwork with SF4000 on a black finishing pad before the application of 22PLE VX1 Pro Glass Coating.

Below are a few 50/50 shots during the process to show you the differences;












(Arty shot?)





For the final stages of preparation of the paint before application of 22PLE Glass Coating the car received 2 strong wipe downs of an Isopropanol Mix to ensure all polishing oils/and any other contaminants were removed before applying the 22PLE VX1 Pro Glass Coating to the gorgeous Black Paint on the Mercedes.
