Great work Did a great job removing the swirls!

On a side note, why the AMG badge on a CLS 500?

I wish it was my car but its not. Its a guy I call "Teen Wolf" who is trapped in the 70's lmao. But he is a repeat customer so I hook him up. Going to be doing an Auburn and Rolls Royce Convertible in the early spring from on of his friends.

It got like that cuz its his daily driver haha. Right now he has his NSX away in storage and the big scratch is from his garage door coming down on the car and the smaller one's from hitting a car trying to park in the city. You would think it would come with a backup camera and all heh

Hate it when dealers do that crap. An AMG engine, not a body kit, makes a car an AMG.

Back on topic...you did a great job taking off some of those deep scractches on the rear bumper.
