Spent the afternoon and evening detailing a CLS55.
The car was in decent shape but had a lot of tire and rail dust in the paint. Took a while to claybar everything out of the paint. I finished the car so I didn't get any good pictures.
Megs foam gun wash
Megs hand wash
Degreased the wheels/tires
Clay
White w/Men106
Gray w/Men106
Blue w/Wolfgang seal
Very clean, nice job! Any before pics? How can you tell it was rail dust though? lol
I'm wanting to get into detailing, and I was curious as to why you use the same polish with a rougher pad, then a less agressive pad. I thought you'd want to use a light/moderate polish with a slightly aggressive pad, then a light/finish polish with a finer pad? I guess it's all about what you try and find works best for you?
Thanks!

I didn't get any before pictures. White pad will cut a little where as a gray will hardly cut and polish/jewel paint a bit more than a white pad. I usuado 106 followed by 85rd.
Blk91stang, I did do the epoxy in the garage. Went to Lowes and grabbed a couple gallons of the quickrete epoxy kits, $70 a gallon. I wanted to do a light coat on the garage for the winter until I can figure out what I would like to do.
fantastic job! Car looks great! One of my neighbors had the CLS63, but traded for the SL65., what a beast it is.
They are fantastic cars... very fun with the brute twinscrew TQ they put down. I had an 05 E55 AMG and loved it... matter of fact, had I been a little older, I think I would have kept it and not picked up a Porsche.
well i can't see the pics but i'm sure it looks amazing like always bro!
