I actually know my car's color (detailed yesterday!!)

Mike. · 06-17-2018, 08:25 AM

So my good friend is a salesman at Mercedes, and the detailer there loved my car but said my paint was shot. He said he would have it looking right.. so I scheduled something with him and please behold the greatness!!!

Damn that sucks. Should've had XPEL done while you were at it! I'm pretty sure ceramic coatings function similarly though, that scratch may not have gone through the coating.

eh idk if XPEL would have done anything. its like they were backing out and just took out my driver's side door.

idk man you'd be surprised. I've seen some pretty nasty marks not reach the paint because of XPEL. You'd know better than me, having seen the damage and all though. Post some pics if you can.

Hope you get the paint fixed!

Side note, how did you install your front lip? Have a similar one in my garage but didn't come with instructions or hardware. Tape and self tap screws?

so the ceramic coating did its job? Whatever happened, happened to the coating, and not to the paint?

Glad to hear it came out ok!
