Detailien Hives challenge to restores a severely damaged paint on new Mercedes E class -

For U create my inmost being & U knitted me in my mothers womb I am fearfully & wonderfully make

How can one man good friend became enemy

100 ways to loose a frienship.......... ranking #1.......... scratch his car

I got a very distress call



so distress that, almost requires an ambulance or a paramedic to the crime scene



how on earth one would have done this?????




closer inspection



scuffed and damaged paint work on the new Mercedez E class.....the owner want to send it to Mercedes to get it repaint immediately

I sigh....please slow down......take a deep breath and come.....90% of survivor chance is always the head matter and 10% the circustances & opportunity


over all pic

this car was opticoated couple months ago, the owner has been very careful not to send it any where or any how to be wash or polish



Action

a quick swift of cooling down the ride before washing is always good habit to prevent premature Clear coat failure.....just as mum always says cool down, wipe off your sweat before bath

a quick ANRW wash with 6 MF

POPPING up the hood to let it cool off further before surgery

upon opening the hood , we saw some issue need to be rectify




cleaning the patience before the surgery begans



firstly i need to let the hood to really cool down before working on the paint surgery, least you do not removed accesive other than what is required

2ndly good to buy some time and how can one stand this!!!!!!

more contamination



just a swipe with Alien OPTI CLean

Ta da

SURGERY BEGAN

other unaffected affected area

far left hood area near the head lamp scuffed by FINGER nails damaged (bugs & insect saps are acidic & will get stick/baked upon a hot hood if not remove immediately) later upon washing finger nails is the most convenience tools, commonly used to cleaning it

ta da damages more



after paint correction and restored


before......and please remember anything that you use on the body will create a friction
