Not the SLK :( I sometimes wish my dash cam was on all the time, not just when driving.

Any ceramic coating or wax should be done when the car is squeaky clean so it's best to do it right away. After getting the streaks out I re-wet the car immediately and apply the spray wax then buff with a microfibre cloth, though some ceramic or wax coatings can be applied when the car is wet...

Do you have a pressure washer? Might be a good idea to give it a pre-rinse first before you wash to get large bits off, just make sure you hold it at a distance and on a low setting to prevent damage to paint. You can buy attachments to use a pressure washer and cover the car in a snow foam, but...

I was in the same position not too long ago, ended up with mostly Autoglym products with a couple exceptions, an all purpose cleaner is a strong recommend for tough grease stains and wheel arches, plus you can dilute it for more general uses. As the others have said, use a microfibre wash mitt...

Crazy prices nowadays. Rember getting startline club tickets as a christmas gift for my old man, really nice secluded area with 'free' food and drink all day plus some other nice benefits. £250 each in 2023, now £390 each minimum. Maybe I missed early bird discounts but still ridiculous even for...

I went to the caffeine & machine meet at the hut and turned up at 11:25 after booking in at 10:30 and had no issues. Not sure about The Hill but it was cheaper to book in before 11am

I've not been driving for long but I'm lucky I live in Wiltshire, no fixed cameras here; Aside from the occasional exception people are generally sensible including myself. If you're doing 50 in a built up area that's dangerous but doing 36 in a 30 should be considered a minor infraction, 1...

Quick question in regards to the infotainment system in the car, it seems to currently be running NTG 4.5, as all pre-facelift R231s were. The sat nav seems very out of date and I was wondering what the best solution would be for upgrading the in car system? - Purchase an entirely new Apple...

Which version of the infotainment system do you have; Have you managed to navigate to the SD card? Are you not able to load your music from the SD card onto the car storage or is that not an option?

Esso also works with nectar points, which is all I use the points for really. 5p off every litre of fuel for 300 points. After a couple shopping trips I can use it every time I fill up

Great meeting some of you again, and some other members for the first time if only briefly. Lovely weather for the SL and a great collection of mercs as always. All being well I'll see you all at Beaulieu. - Nick

Not technically on the road but a few favourites from Sunday at SCITP. Me parked next to SJMaxwell's stunning facelift SL63 Dean's beautiful S63 AMG Coupe

Wow, never seen one spec'd like that! What model and year is it?

Not sure about exterior aluminium trim but I've put some Autoglym Magma on a cloth and applied it to stained aluminium interior trim, left it for 5 mins and then cleaned off and it has removed the staining entirely, though to be fair the water spots were fairly light.
