Hi Guys

This weekend I had the pleasure of detailing this beast
The car was full of swirls RIDS and was in a sad state for a car with only 13000km on the clock
Anyway I had my work cut out. The entire front end had been VPS'd and looks pretty nasty however I couldn't do much to fix it up.

The car was corrected using the Rupes Bigfoot, Menzerna Polish and chemical Guys Hexlogic pads and a few Lake country pads
The thickness of the paint was a big problem it ranged from 50-107 Microns
The lowest reading was 49 Micron .. I think MB went for weight reduction in the wrong place here :)
I was very surprised at how soft the paint was. I was expecting it to be alot harder

Thanks guys :thumbs:

@ Calypso. Not sure. I doubt it as those readings were the same on all 4 doors
The higher readings were lower down the door panel
And the lower readings were on top of the doors
