    Black car blues

    I picked up an SL550 roadster on Memorial Day. It looked good, but all horizontal surfaces were VERY rough. So out comes clay bar

    Looks pretty good, right... not so fast. Under LED lights the scratches are very visible

    Final thoughts: eliminated some scratches, needs a rotary to be perfect. Still, car looks better
