Saturday detail

PaKKo · 03-08-2008

Hi!

I spent all day detailing my SLK and I would like to share with you the results.

- Wash by hand with Sonax shampoo.
- Dry with Mothers WW towell.
- Clay bar and Quick Detail of Mothers.
- Alloy Wheels by DP Wheel Glaze.
- Tires by 1Z Tire Foam.
- Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion
- Pinnacle Souveran Liquid Wax.

I am quite tired but I think the results worth it.

Regards

Doctors, Hospitals......looking forward to the summer sunshine...your pictures give me hope and a glimpse ahead...nice

Good work pakko, thanks for the information it looks glistening clean.

**jfsully** · 03-08-2008

Love the Liquid Souveran....very easy to use (and you can buy it through the AutoGeek link on the Slkworld site.)

The paste Souveran is a beauty wax that looks great on solid colors (especially black)...liquid Souveran comes close and smells great too.

The company that makes Pinnacle is located in Stuart Florida not far from me in Palm Beach. (Stuart is also the home of SLKworld)

Looking VERY good!

PaKKo · 03-08-2008

Thank you all

I have to wait 24h to apply a new coat of wax in order to get a deeper effect. I would like to apply about 3-5 coats to have the look desired

**etyu** · 03-09-2008

Very good work Pakko. It really shines!

**FishtailnZ** · 03-10-2008

Nice work...nothing like spending a little quality time with baby!

**Ynot** · 03-11-2008

Nice very shiny, wash my car for the first time since Nov. and the dust particle's stuck to the paint, I need to clay and wax also.

Thanks for the post Pakko. Yesterday, I did some car wash, Zaino treatment with leftover Z5 and Z2 that I still have from the first R171 (2 years ago).

Wow!

Really impressive etyu. That wet look in your cubanite silver is amazing. I've never used zaino products but looking at the pics I've already notice I have to. BTW, any products you use will always get better looking in a 55
