Auto Obsessed performed New Vehicle Prep detail to this 2012 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. The exterior underwent a full decontamination wash including iron and tar removal. Both sets of wheels were detailed. Old paint protection film was removed and wheel wells, door jambs, exhaust tips, and engine bay were detailed. The entirety of the exterior also underwent extensive paint correction with a two-stage process before we finished the vehicle in Swissvax Shield PTFE Wax.
