SLK200 – Back to Black!

It always amazes me peoples reactions when you speak to them about detailing and words cannot describe what pictures can show you. I can get a wash or a valet for £5 is the most common saying I think all people who detail cars hear. The challenge was laid down with the owner of the vehicle leaving the country for two weeks not knowing what to expect when they returned.

I suppose they expect maybe a few scratches to go there and there but not the car returning more black than it already was.

I really really hope the Mercedes dealership that sold the car see’s this thread because I don’t think they will think it is the same car. I also don’t think the owner will believe it’s her car sitting on the driveway either when she takes off the cover. I am waiting for a text from Slick to let me know what the outcome is!

:)

Thanks for reading!

Always checkout your work, great as always :)
Did you use floss and a hairdryer/heat gun for the model deletion?
