Had a friend whose Fiat I detailed (Ciao! A Rupes review...on Little Red)
Thread here: Ciao! A Rupes review...on Little Red - Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum mention me to his neighbor. She has an all original 1984 Mercedes 380SL that needed a little love.

It only has 29K miles on the clock...and it was pretty hammered. Some of the panels looked like they were washed with a brillo pad. Very swirled up...some heavy swirls, holograms, and some heavier scratches/scuffs. The wheels were pretty trashed too. Baked on dust and just filthy. The interior has a ton of real leather all over the place and it was dry..Sahara desert dry!

OK, on to the fun stuff!

Swirls, scratches, scuffs, etc...hammered!

FG400 and the Rupes green pad finished down spectacularly! It was easy to use. Pretty long work time, minimal dusting. Good stuff! And I'll say this again. I really LOVE my Rupes Duetto & mini. GREAT machines. So smooth!
