Detailer's Domain: Maserati Grandturismo Sport - paint correction - Opti Coat - clear film removal and install
This Maserati Grandturismo Sport was brought in by a great customer of ours. He requested to remove the front clear film and reinstall as well as wrap the rear bumper with clear film. We followed up by prepping the areas for clear film - compound and polishing required prior to clear film installation.
We followed by correcting the imperfections on the paint with Menznera FG400 with a Meg's Microfiber Cutting Disc and finished it out with Sonax 4/6 and an Uber Orange Pad, followed by cleaning up the paint preparing it for Opti Coat.
Other services provided were a wheel and wheel well detailing including prepping the wheels for Opti Coat. We have found Opti Coat on wheels a great way to protect wheels and provide easier clean up over time.
The interior was vacuumed and cleaned, the leather was cleaned and conditioned.

My SLK is black, so always looks a bit dusty (not dirty) normally! I would like to buy a polishing machine and the kit and would like advice. Any thoughts on a home/DIY no frills buffing machine - no scratches on the paintwork, it just needs a brighter shine!
Thanks -

Today tested my new da polisher with mcguiars ultimate compound on my SLK 200. I had a lot of swirls in the paint. After a few hours of polishing I can say that I am satisfied with the end result.
