Detailed Mercedes Benz G500

Well me and my brother were back at it. This time it was a Mercedes Benz G500. Process was wash, clay, tape the moldings etc.., 1 pass with Meguiars M83, 1 pass with Meguiars M80, 1 pass with Meguiars M82, and one coat of Prima Epic. Here are some before and after pictures.









Here are some pictures of the truck after it has been washed, clayed, and taped ready for polishing.






Tried to take some pictures of the swirls on the truck but these are the best shots we could get with the lighting and camera.




Here are the final shots of the truck.

I agree...beautiful detailing. And yeah, the Mercedes G500 is goofy...it is a VERY expensive box!

Are you a professional detailer PeterW? You must make some good money from all of the nice vehicles you detail.

I kinda like the vehicle! I don't like SUVs, but I like interesting looking vehicles. That kinda reminds me of the Thing made by _________ (is it Volkswagon that made the Thing?).

That is some great work! Well done.

Thanks for the comments. I love the G500, it is so unique to all SUV's on the market. We do detailing on the side for some extra cash. Just finished a Mercedes Benz CL55. We are going to post pictures right now.

Freaky? Goofy? I'm with WannaMini... I think the MB G500 is very cool looking! Yeah, it's cool in a unique way to be sure, but still very cool. I don't know if I'd want to spend the big bucks for one, but I'd love to have one!

Peter- Great work!!!

Peter: can you please not just post one photo per post. You could have actually put all of those photos in your first post.

Thanks!

Dave
