Mercedes G55 w/ Brabus goodness

I posted this in the detailing section a while back but figured i would let the MB guys see it if they hadn't already.

The detailer and I had decided on a one-step process to keep the time worked within a single day. The final decision was PO203S on a green Uber pad and even with multiple hits in some locations, I think he finished at about 85%-90% correction. At the next visit, he may hit some spots with M105 or SIP and see if he can put a dent in it. With the odd angles off this vehicle, many spots had to be polished by hand. Total work time was 8 hours.

1) Pre soak lowers with Duragloss #471
2) Wash with CG Citrus Wash 'n Gloss
3) Clay with Zaino clay
4) Dry with Sonus Der Wunder waffle weaves
5) PO203S with green Uber pad on the Flex DA
6) Zaino Z1
7) Zaino Z5
8) Zaino Z2
9) Zaino Z8 wipe down
10) Wheels got P21S, and tires Z16

P21S Total Auto Wash and 0000 steel wool. My tips used to get very black but i keep the clean now using these products. All you really need is 0000 and some soap...
