    Which brand of tyres to go for?

    If you have the factory optional AMG 20" wheels you can get the F1 A2s in 255/35R20 97Y and 275/35R20 102Y.

    Which brand of tyres to go for?

    A slight deviation from the main thread but I found Asda Tyres pricing to be better than Black Circles and E-Tyres recently. Just avoid the Halfrauds service centres for fitting!

    Fantastic service at LTG Motors Letchworth

    I have been looking for a decent specialist in Hertfordshire since I bought my CL500 in September and I was recommended LTG Motors by friend with a W221 S500. I took the car in for a full service and inspection and I was blown away by their professionalism and service, not to mention the great...

    Scratches in side windows

    If the scratches are deep, you are likely looking at replacement. If you have lots of fine scratches, you can polish them out with a glass polish and a DA. It takes a fair amount of pressure and time.

    Polishing Black Cars - a slightly "left field" approach

    Great results! Is the nanotech product filler heavy? Soft99 have produced some awesome products, I have the Fusso F7 liquid sealant on my alloys. 6 weeks on they are still beading like mad and brake dust just flies off with the pressure washer.

    Black spots on alloys

    Have you tried an aggressive claybar? It's a bit of a ball ache when they are all over the wheel but it should make the process a bit easier. Once you have got them all off, give it another blast with tar/gum remover to get rid of any residue and give the wheels a wash. Slap on some high temp...

    Cleaning product and wax recommendations

    I used GL a lot when I had an apartment - water meter plus the car park being on another floor meant waterless cleaning was the way to go! I found the Williams Waterless Wash (http://amzn.to/2dJuzoJ) was much better in terms of overspray - GL sometimes got into places I couldn't quite reach and...

    Cleaning product and wax recommendations

    A machine compound or polish is absolutely the best way for an enthusiast to get the best finish (I spent days getting my CL perfect when I got it!), but its quite an advanced step for someone just getting into properly maintaining the cleanliness of their car. Once the wash and dry routine...

    18" vs 16" Wheels

    I agree entirely, though in my case the alloys were a factory fitted option when the car was new rather than a cheap bolt on to tell someone about at the local job centre. I don't think smaller alloys suit a bigger car, but then as you say it is all a matter of opinion. On a W220 S Class...

    2 prieviouse owners not 1.

    This just shows you are still struggling with what DVLA considers previous owners. Is this the first car you have bought? Let's break it down a bit more. When you buy a new car, you are the first and current owner. Your V5 states that your car has had 0 previous owners. When your car is...

    18" vs 16" Wheels

    I'm a fan of bigger rims but it has to match the car. On an S class the 18" and bigger rims give the car more presence which is worth the fairly small sacrifice in ride quality. I have factory 20" AMG rims on my CL and it gives the car a much better look than the standard rims.

    Cleaning product and wax recommendations

    I also have Obsidian Black on my car and it can be brutal showing up the swirls. Before moving onto claying and paint correction/swirl masking, it might be better to start building a routine with getting your car clean. Step1: Hose/pressure wash off the entire car to remove as much dirt as...

    2 prieviouse owners not 1.

    It sounds like you had been given the right info. At the time of sale, the car had 1 previous owner, i.e. its last owner who sold the car to MB (the 'current' owner, as MB doesn't count), and the original owner who had bought it from new. Now you have bought the car, there are 2 previous owners...
