    DA Microfiber System....Mercedes...

    Very nice Mercedes SUV, that’s had a pretty rough life. New owner that wanted it looking good again.

    Process:

    DA Microfiber Pads
    DA Compound
    Topped with the new Finishing Wax, but had to work the wax a bit to remove a bit of haze. Then a hand application of the same Finishing Wax due to a light haze from the MF Pads(I assume).

    Befores:

          Nice turn around, Nick. Those swirls were very nasty.

          Nick, in those cases when you finish with some haze after D300 do you think M205 would be a good between product (before D301) ?

            Probably not on this vehicle. The Finishing Wax left a bit of a haze in the paint, which required something a bit less aggressive. I opted to do a pass by hand of the same wax, and it took out any remaining haze left over from the MF Pad and Finishing Wax.

            M205 would've left more haze than the Finishing Wax did. So either way, I would've been pressed to make 3 passes.

            Is that what you were asking??

              Sorry, I've got it wrong.

              Finishing Wax left some mild haze (I thought it was Correction Compound) and you re-applied it by hand to leave the finish in absolutely perfect shape. Now I got it and learned a good trick.

                    Great work as always Nick. Was it any different working on the Mercedes paint with the MF system aside from the light hazing?

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
