E500 detail

[Elite M.D.]

Here is a Mercedes E500 that I wash weekly and detail about every 5 months. Now that the weather is nice I did an interior and exterior detail on it. The interior was very easy as she keeps her car very nice.

great job there Elite, I got a few questions to ask if you don't mind.You posted that you was using a Dewalt on your 3rd and 4th step.Did you use DW443 rob?If you did, were you using the original backing plate or changed to other.You also mentioned using light cutting pad, which pad was it from, MG,CMA?

Why I asked because I just bought a DW443 yesterday to compliment with my DW849.I haven't try it yet though.Right now I'm having MG 8" cutting,polishing and finishing pads.
