Mercedes E350 — ceramic coated finish
Black paint · deep gloss · reflection shot or convertible top detail
Project Overview
A 12-year-old E350 convertible that had never received professional paint correction. The paint was corrected to remove swirl marks and oxidation, the interior was fully restored, and both the paint and convertible top received ceramic coating. The result exceeded factory finish quality.
Services Performed
Condition on Arrival
What we were working with.
The vehicle arrived with 12 years of accumulated swirl marks, light oxidation, and surface contamination. The black paint made every defect highly visible. The convertible top had significant environmental buildup and had never been treated. The interior showed wear consistent with regular use over many years.
Key Challenges

Process
How the work was done.
01
Full Assessment
Paint thickness measurements, defect mapping, and interior condition assessment completed before any work began.
02
Interior Restoration
Full interior detail including leather conditioning, plastic restoration, carpet extraction, and glass cleaning.
03
Exterior Decontamination
Chemical decontamination and clay bar treatment across all painted surfaces and glass.
04
Paint Correction
Multi-stage correction to address swirl marks and oxidation. Black paint required careful product selection and machine speed management to avoid introducing new defects.
05
Ceramic Coating
Paint ceramic coating applied followed by a separate convertible top coating formulated for fabric surfaces.

Final Results
What was delivered.
The correction restored the paint to a level that exceeded the factory finish. The convertible top was cleaned, treated, and coated. The interior was returned to a condition the owner described as better than when the car was new. The ceramic coating on both the paint and top will protect both surfaces for years.
