    Default Auto Obsessed New Car Prep Detail finished in Swissvax Crystal Rock - 2016 E400

    Auto Obsessed performed a New Vehicle Prep detail to this 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 Cabriolet. The exterior underwent a full decontamination wash including iron and tar removal. Wheel wells, door jambs, exhaust tips, and engine bay were detailed. The wheels were detailed and nano-coated with Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour. The interior was fully detailed and the leather was cleaned and conditioned with the Swissvax suite of leather care products. The interior fabrics were cleaned and protected with Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric to provide an exceptional hydrophobic quality. The exterior underwent a full multi-stage polish to remove minor hazing, swirling and other imperfections from the factory, or accrued in transport to our studio. The Convertible top was cleaned and protected with Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric. This E400 also underwent extensive application of XPEL Ultimate paint protection film to several key locations (Including the full front impact areas, rocker panels, door sills, and center console and door cups.) After the paintwork was perfected and XPEL film applied this E400 was finished in the crowning glory of our luxury carnauba waxes: Swissvax Crystal Rock.
