Here we have a video of the Mercedes SL63 AMG Correction Detail, carried out by Getpolished, join us on our youtube page for more video blogs in the future.

The car had undergone a full thorough wash down using an array of car care products, such as Non Acidic Wheel Cleaner, and Citrus Pre Wash before moving onto Valet Pro PH Neutral Snow Foam and the snow foam lance. During the wash stage, Valet pro Posiedons Carnauba Wash and a High quality Sheep Skin Mitt was used with bucket and grit guard to clear the paint surfaces ready for clay.  Swissvax Paint Rubber (Clay Bar) was used to remove contaminants safely from all surfaces.

The car then went through the correction process using cutting compounds, polishing compounds and refining compounds, best suited to the Mercedes paint, finishing off with Swissvax Professional Paint Cleaner to help prepare the surfaces ready for wax application.  On this occasion Swissvax Best of Show was the wax of choice due to its super wet look properties and its durability.

The Swissvax Crystal (Car Window Cleaner) was used to clean the windows and then  Swissvax Pneu (Tyre Dressing) was used to dress the tyres whilst the wax had time to cure.  The wheels were also sealed using Swissvax Autobahn (wheel Sealant).

Swissvax Leather Cleaner was used to clean all of the leather covered surfaces inside and Swissvax Leather Milk was used to feed and protect . This help pass the time whilst Swissvax Best of Show had cured and was ready to be buffed to a shine.  A second coat was applied once the initial coat had time to set and again that coat was then buffed after curing, the SL63 was then underwent thorough post detail inspection…. here are the results.

I would like to welcome you all to the newly improved GetPolished website and to our blog section.

Now, I’m sure you have seen this car in the banner on our website already and I thought what better way to properly start the thread than with a quick write up of the day, detailing this brand new Mercedes SLS.

I had already taken care of my clients SL63 and Range Rover, after he asked me to complete a new car detail on his SLS as soon as he had drove it home from the factory in Germany, I was very excited to work on such a car and also wanted to help him keep the car in tip top condition.

So where to start? Well the car looked truly awesome on arrival tucked away in its new home after travelling home from the factory, and it sounded just as good whilst pulling out of its home ready for it first “proper” treatment.

Pre wash inspection would show a few badly marked areas for immediate attention and some areas showing signs of disrespect from those who prepared the car for collection, not something you would expect on a vehicle of this caliber.

Dried TFR,

greasy prints,

So I set to it with the wash stages.

After the full wash and clay prep the sun gun was brought out to unveil the many defects left by those who prepared the car, to say I was disgraced is an understatement

Each image below is of a separate defected area, not all defects and marks are shown here, as there were at least 30 major defects over the entire car.

Scratch,

so on with the correction

The day was going to be much longer than initially expected, so the camera was set aside and I got to it putting right all the wrongs that just wouldn’t be expected on an brand new SLS.

After correcting the defects and then preparing the car using Swissvax Cleaner Fluid, the choice of wax was always going to be 2 coats of Swissvax Best of Show, the metallic enhancing properties of this wax will give the paintwork the real depth of shine and the lustrous quality finish it deserves, along with the ultimate protection for the months ahead.

The interior of the SLS was also detailed using many products and techniques and the Leather work had the treatment of Swissvax Leather Cleaner followed by Swissvax Leather Milk to help protect and keep the leather supple and supportive for those times along the twisty roads when the bolsters really come into action!

The car was then pulled outside for a few shots of my own but also for the professional photographer to come and capture the outstanding beauty and engineering of the Mercedes SLS. I will post up the image from Kurt Blytham at the end of this blog for you all to marvel! Thank you Kurt

its all in the detail….

…and here are some of the professional images from the photo shoot.

Thank you and I hope you have enjoyed this write up.

Come back soon for more features.
