Paint Correction Stage 3
This Mercedes Benz GL 450 had severe scratches, marring, and fading all over every panel on the vehicle.
So, we did a decon shampoo process to remove any waxes, films, and containments from the paint. Then we followed it up with a clay mitt application to smooth out any rough spots left behind.
We applied a heavy cut pad and compound with an orbital polisher to remove all of the paints defects which slowly restored the paints original glare and rich color.
We shampooed the paint once more to remove the compound dust and to see how the paint restorative process was progressing.
Then we repeated the paint correction process which was stage 2 stepping down to a medium pad and a less aggressive compound to remove any small marks and to begin to really refine the look of the paint.
We shampooed the paint once more then we applied the final polish and the results were astounding. Approximately 85% to 90% of the marring, scratches, and fading were completely gone.
Our final courtesy touches were vacuuming, odor removal, leather treatment, wheel/tire treatment, and scent applied.
Erika and Marcel were so pleased and shocked with the results. Erika said her baby looks brand new. That's our goal with paint correction to restore the paint to a better than new condition.
We enjoyed this project.
