Auto Obsessed Winter Prep Detail – 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG

[AutoObsessed]

Auto Obsessed performed a Winter Prep Detail to this 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG. The exterior underwent a full decontamination wash including iron and tar removal. The wheels, wheel wells, doorjambs, exhaust, and engine bay were extensively detailed with a host of OBSSSSD Premium Products. The interior was then fully detailed, with the leather being cleaned and treated with OBSSSSD Leather Cleaner and OBSSSSD Leather Conditioner. We then performed several spot polishes before finishing the vehicle in OBSSSSD Paint Seal.

OBSSSSD Paint Seal Final Protectant is the perfect sealant to protect a daily-driven vehicle in all weather conditions. OBSSSSD Paint Seal has been engineered to provide an exceptionally deep, wet-looking shine for months while protecting from harsh road salts, oxidation, and detergents.

The full OBSSSSD product line can be found here: http://obssssdproducts.com

ooooh nice. I'm looking at one of these for my wife. But my kids are so hard on cars, and dirty, I'm a bit nervous about it.

How did you refresh the steering wheel suede and leather??

Looks fantastic.. too bad it was likely ruined within 2 minutes of owner driving off your lot :cry:
