A very close mate of mine had referred his brother since he purchased a new Mercedes GLA-200 and I was more than happy to help prepare it before it starts its daily responsibilities.
I'll sound like a broken record here but this is the most ideal time of the car ownership, right at the start, to get it protected from our harsh elements. Often owners will get caught up in the moment of the new car so you don't really consider it at the time, so thanks to my good mate for guiding his brother in both, 1) escaping the full retail of a dealership 'addon' from some random you'll never even come face to face with and 2) ensuring the vehicle gets suitable protection before its heavily used.
I started early Saturday morning with a full decontamination process:
Foam lance, wash, two-bucket method, fine clay bar treatment, air blower for tight areas, and a careful dry-down before the car came inside.
Then the paintwork was refined using a combination of Zvizzer Australia & NZ pads and Absolute Valeting compounds. A final wipe down and then coated with one of my all-time favourite Gtechniq Australia Crystal Serum Light.
The interior surfaces were treated, with the carpets, mats, door trims, and dash all receiving attention as well. 303 Products and GYEON Australia utilised.
As always, a massive thank you to my trustworthy suppliers!
