I use the 350 daily and can vouch that it’s an affordable car for your tasks and the v6 is a surprise in its own right. You look after it and it will reward you with miles and excitement. Well done on your purchase.

So we are now at the end of summer 2022 and the SL 350 is now at 173k miles and the engine has been fine with usual oil changes when service indicator instructs. Since my last post I have had my vehicle serviced with Maxwell Greene my regular independent Mercedes specialist in Fulham, London as...

I feel cleaning of cars is no harm to anyone and the police will need to use their discretion and understand that our personal vehicles are our main mobile source to shield against this virus and regular cleaning is a benefit to its functioning and safety. I may sound like im justifying this but...

Managed to fully steam underneath of my Mercedes R230 SL vehicle and coat all plastics in Gyeon Q2 Trim coating to keep them protected

Yes thats fine, i use C2 as my spray sealant after every wash so thats perfect.

If its direct from mercedes it will be starguard, which could last a few years. If when rinsing the vehicle after washing you are still getting the water to bead and sheet of the surfaces then the panels are still protected and to your judgement your happy with the clarity of the vehicle then...

No way, The car has just been bought so worst case the reapplied coating is a few months fresher so just keep it to the panel at the most. I apply many coatings and from many body shops you will need to refine the panel so its uniform with the rest of the vehicle then re-coat and cure and the...

Depends how fussy you are and where the scratch is located. if the scratch is not near a edge or crease then a light correction/ fine grade or wetsanding will take the edge of scratch out improve it but wont remove it fully if your fingernail catches it. check your local detailer as they will be...

I've gotta 2007 SL350 that's mint @ 140k miles that's had a full manufacturer service history and Mercedes specialists doing full engine and suspension overhaul. Even tho i don't plan to sell the dealership wanted to buy my vehicle and valued they'd get £12k, which was a hefty chunk of...

db detailing is another alternative that can cater to your vehicle

use some compound or polish on a cloth a rub the area. then use ipa or glass cleaner

Ideally the AMG badge on the bodywork signatures the engine (being AMG) unless it was a optional extra from factory then go with it otherwise just keep it original and enjoy without one if its not there. Your best modification is already detailing the vehicle to show off its original brochure look!

The SL350 is at 140k Miles and had its paint cleansed via a light paint correction detail by myself and protected with Gtechniq Flagship Crystal Serum Ultra and Exo V4 to protect the paint for a further 9 years which seals the gloss and allows me to wash the vehicles as many times as i feel with...

I had the engine out to replace that and some more. R230 SL350 The road to 200k miles this will explain a bit more

2007 R230 SL 350 in Tellurite Silver with potentially the most miles (140k) and very mint inside and out and underneath.

Snow foam loosens and removes the surface dirt a little better than a general rinse of the vehicle leaving very little for the wash mitt to clean off. If your supper fussy and have the time to clean your vehicle then this will work well for you everytime, but sometimes we may not have the time...
