What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

Looked like half the Sahara had been dumped on the car in the last rainstorm. So hosed it off and gave it a proper wash.

Tested my new customised foam and shampoo...

Given it a right good interior and exterior clean.

Tested my new customised foam and shampoo...

You lost me there. Did you buy this or make it to sell?

Your obsession begins here

Every wax we produce is handmade to order, you simply choose the wax based on your requirements, select the colour and scent, we will then hand blend your wax to your specification.

New thrust arm and rear sub frame bushes fitted this morning, cheers Olly Jack and graham, then very loud testing

My 190 2.5 has had the entire suspension pretty much sorted, new front shocks, correct springs all round, control arms, bushes etc. I pick it up on Wednesday, the transformation is described as total.

Which hopefully completes all the work on that car for the medium term, just a couple of small things to sort.

Now complete with dusty leopard print design from the dirty rain this afternoon.

While I'm waiting for the seat badge to arrive from Germany, I've cleaned up and died the leather in the car - seats, centre console cover, door handles and other various leather parts that showed age. Looking much better now:

 

[Dieselman]

That looks very successful, was it easy enough to do?

 

[Alex]

Thanks, pretty much.

Clean the leather, dab the paint on to a microfibre towel, rub first layer in all the cracks and creases, let dry, repeat 2-3 times.

 

[Dieselman]

Who supplied the paint?

 

[Alex]

Gliptone UK.

For my W124 estate - Researched removing the lower body cladding and making sure everything is right behind there. Looks like a bit of a task when I get around to it... But worthwhile as there is evidence on this forum that I'll find soil behind the cladding. Plenty of it.

Got the 190 MOT'd with a couple of advisories but nothing too onerous. Now where can I get someone who can sort out my failed drivers side rear electric window regulator?

 

[jamesfuller]

I fitted the tinted rear lights and number plate surround today! Pic to follow.

New Turbo..........

After several hours washing and polishing it on Saturday, I was a bit miffed to see it covered in the Sahara dust on Monday, so I left work early today and gave it a wash and "Last Touch", to restore its pristine-ness.

 

[Markjames]

Mine was also covered in dust so it has just had a wash and dry. Will have to wait until Sunday for some more work
