Let's start over......
Bout to start it now. I took it back to my house yesterday after showing it to him. Plan to clean er up very well. Hood feels like sand paper, can only imagine what my Nanoskin sponge is going to pull off it.
Thank you
Yeah there aren't too many people who do it now. The one's who do don't do it very tastefully either imo.

Well finished up. About 5 hours. No buffing, just a wash/dry, decontamination of paint, blackfire sealant. Was going to make a thread but hard to get good pictures of the silver. In person it's night and day difference. Pictures not so much
Before

Of course you have the majority of people that think cause it's a Benz it's worth 6 to 8k and don't care about blue book. The guy I bought the 01 from yesterday had it 18 months and bought a new BMW sports sedan so he didn't drive the ML. He gave me the paper work that from when he bought it and he paid 8k.
He didn't look at value of what it was worth so when it came time to put it up for sale at 6k, no bites, tried 5k no bites, 4250 no bites then when he listed for 35 started getting calls. I tried to get it for 3k but we decided on $3200.
Interior is pretty nice also. I'm taking it tomorrow to get the carpet cleaned but seats etc are great. It also has all MB service records since 2002.
Not missing anything, lol. Patrick got me the same deal on the last one with the same miles but it was a 02. This is a 01.

Yes -- you may be able to afford to buy a Benz, but you probably won't be able to afford to own a Benz.....
I don't want to brag on Patrick to much , but he has been real good to us and we really appreciate it.

As far as the Blackfire, this is the first light color vehicle i have done and still very impressed. IMO you can't get a better combo. If you do decide to get it go ahead and spring for the wet ice over fire combo. Comes with the Sealant and their pure 100 percent carnuba.
