Paint Enhancement Mercedes Benz CLS 550 Black

VEHICLE TREATMENT:

2008 CLS 550 Mercedes – Benz Black with approximately 68K miles. Vehicle exhibited buffer marring on the hood and driver’s side door. Paint readings average from 80-100 microns on OEM sections of vehicle. We found repainted sections: at the passenger fender, rear door, rear bumper, and A pillar  all measuring between 130-160 microns. Vehicle exhibits a large amount of swirling and light scratching. Most defects on the driver’s door and hood. Rest of the vehicle limited 35-50% swirling, rear bumper with most significant damage due to the mediocre quality. HD Adapt was used in multiple sections to minimize the swirls. We also did a quick cleaning of the leather to the depth of blue dye transfer damage
