1986 Mercedes 420SL Full Detail and Ceramic Coating

This beautiful classic SL420 had recently undergone a full respray, however the owner felt that the finish was lacking depth and clarity, desiring a show quality level of finish!

Whilst the paint job was excellent it was being let down by the presence of sanding marks, pig tails, and holograms, the reason for this being that many painters do not have the time, patience, and skill to carry out the final polishing stages to a high standard!

The SL was booked in for a full week to allow to go through the car with a fine toothed comb, ensuring that as well as the paintwork the chrome, plastic, and rubber trim around the car would also be polished and treated, once of all of the detailing work was completed a ceramic coating was applied, in this case Gyeon Quartz Duraflex, which is applied in two layers, which is incredibly hard wearing and leaves a very slick finish, this ensures the paintworks retains its lustre and is very easy to clean.

The photos below show the before and afters taken during polishing, this was carried out in several stages using a variety of polishers, mainly a Flex PE14 rotary, paint removal rates were monitored throughout the process.
