This is my wife's 15 year old Mercedes, that had seen all kinds of abuse before we met. I finally decided to do something about it, giving it a two-stage polish and coating it in CQuartz, then topping it off with Reload. CarPro products used: IronX, Eraser, CQuartz, Reload, Microfiber Madness Crazy Piles and Incredimitt!

Beautiful work.... but I have to be the first to ask about the carpet in the garage!?!?! I am sure there is a reason so let us have it. It may be a trend I would want to follow since my wife always wants to change the oriental area carpets we have in the house.

BTW, love to see the whole family involve. We can see you and your boy in one of the pic and unless you wear dresses and flip flops I would assume that your wife is the person reflected in the last picture.

Haha dammit I knew I should have taken off the dress and flip flops!!! I was explaining to my 6 year old the difference between compounds and polishes, and what pads go with which - he was fascinated! As far as the rug goes, we had to rent our house for a few years while I was stationed around the DC area and the tenants absolutely destroyed the place. The nice rug was unsalvageable so it made its way to hide all the cracked concrete in the garage! Everyone laughs when they see the Camaro parked on it . . . they're like WTF?!?!?
 
nice turn around. The car had no gloss at all in the beginning.
