    G3 Clay Mitt - Wow

    Is this just for removing contaminants? I use 2 buckets and a wool mitt and meguiars gold glass products, but find I can get a really good finish without having to resorting to clay - would this make it even better/longer lasting? Is there any risk of damaging paint if not sure how to use properly?

    Would you map / chip a new car?

    Also means when you do remap in a year or two like getting a new car again - unless you change cars more often then who cares about warranty issues...

    Would you map / chip a new car?

    I'd recommend driving the car for awhile to see if there are any obvious issues - why risk invalidating the warranty?

    2 w126s to avoid

    I've been using ebay to look out for a cls 55 for just over a year now. Almost bought one, but in person it wasn't in the condition of the ad... It's interesting seeing how the prices have fluctuated for the same cars a few months apart!

    Cruise Control or Speed Limiter Assistance?

    I never use cruise only speed limiter, I know I won't exceed limit then and I just drive to safe speeds within maximum. Smooth acceleration best for fuel economy, still I didn't get a cls500 for its fuel economy!
