So matthias08 0f Matthew's Auto Detailing attended my GTG this past weekend and detailed all three of my MBs.

They came out amazing so I thought I'd share some pics.

Here's a shot of the hatch in progress so you can see how dull the paint was.








I'll get around to replacing the tint in the doors with metallic tint so it matches the rear windows.


I didn't get any shots of my 300CD completed, but here is Matt working on it at the GTG:


Here are a couple of my SDL too.

Damn, Chad those cars look amazing. I'd love to get our cars detailed. I've never taken the luxury of letting anyone do anything to my cars. If I had someone trust worthy to do the same job as I would, or the same job YOU would :>), I'd pay to get it done! Heya, I see you picked the the ONLY wheel choice for the red dragon! WAYLIGHT, FORGED and the only new wheel that looks like it belongs on an 85car, like an option :>). My wife has an SD as well. I almost appropriatedher BBS set, until I found the 99 CLK wheels.

Thanks so much Chad for the rave reviews and photos!


It was an absolute pleasure to work on these 3 fine pieces.



Shoot me a PM for a list of materials used to clean correct and protect the paint, nothing is quite "trade secret" but I'm a distributor for most of the products of said job, so I don't want any thread conflict of interest. lol

Nice work! What's the third car that was detailed?

Wish I could detail three cars in a row.

Chad, the CLK lightweights look great on your Red Dragon. From the photos the paint looks to be Orient Red, but I think your wagon has a different color code. Must be the lighting.

That SDL is stunningly handsome. Especially so in debadged form!

Where's the button when you need one?

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

They look great Chad, they always do. The darker color of the TD makes the bling stand out. I love chrome and polished aluminum.

[QUOTE=MBeige;2807810]Yeah, I hear you, I washed two yesterday (Cdn thanksgiving) and I was ready for a nap afterwards. To say nothing of having the required patience and touch as well....

I second that. Your wagon is truly impressive. What a great colour, shame they made so many in beige and white as they really look great in the darker colours.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll get some interior pics up later.

Thanks again Matt.

I had my wagon down at the beach on a cloudy day ,oh man it looked sweet ,Ill try to post soon.

Wish my car had paint on it worth cleaning up. This is the first car I have not taken a clay-bar to. It was repainted by Mayco most likely.

But yours look mighty fine! The SDL looks new!

The seat belts for the third row seat still need to be attached to the roof.


There's the amplifier in the first aid kit spot.
