I am still undecided on the wheels, not a big fan of the style, but like the black. My better half wants it to stay as is but I already have a set of black BBS CH 19" to bolt on from my current C Sport.

Very nice job. I collect my white sport plus estate at the end of the month, and it will also get an immediate detail using mostly Gtechniq stuff. Thinking of getting some of the new Exo to try out on the new one, anyone tried it yet?

I have the same problem, but mine is due to my Blackberry Curve not being able to send Vcards. Is it possible to manually save numbers on the Audio 20 system by entering the details through the dash keypad?

Superspec - +1 on the Gtechniq G1, fantastic stuff. I would also like to put forward the C2 from the Gtechniq range, another good sealant, can be used on any surface, and is very easy to apply. As with the finish, all will be let down by a poor surface prior to application. The...

..... but looking at it on Friday after a busy week, you wish you had not. Trust me.

Car booked in today, and new wheels! My tyres were swapped from the old set, but that is fine, all balanced and nice clean job done as well. Took a little while waiting for them to be fitted, but these are definately new, and have the diamond cut finish to the face, and are more fitting with...

Nice job and fantastic photos.

The C5 is good, very easy to apply, although it is only a very good sealant, therefore will only be as good as the finish it is applied to, so you need to give the wheels a really good clean and then polish before application.

Nice write up Mike. Out of interest, DA or Rotary with the lime prime? Just one pass brought it up that good?! Nice job.

Yes, the C5 is the wheel armour. Washed the car today and the beading was amazing and they were very easy to clean. I have had a problem with the whels so the finish is not as good as i would like, but even with a rough finish, the C5 is working very well.

Im not to worried about who is to blame, I just appreciate the fact that the dealer has taken respossibility (their fault or not) and has acted swiftly and politely to resolve the problem and to get me wheels which should be to the same quality standard as the rest of the car.

Mercedes Benz Doncaster

Lowering springs, boot spoiler . . . it will grow from there

Do any of you also know of anyone who sells Mercedes parts and accessories other than Mercedes Doncaster? Car will have to be seviced there but Im after some other bits and bobs.

Another update. Had a call this morning as promised from the Aftersales Manager who agreed to look into it and for me to visit the dealer to have photos taken of the wheels. An hour later I had another call from the service department who said no need to come in, already in hand as they...

OK, quick update. Back to the dealer today, and after an inspection by a technician, the service department are in agreement that the wheels are poor quality and maybe not even the original wheels, but need to find out when in the delivery process the wheels may have been changed/resprayed to...

Got my new Mercedes 2 weeks ago, and with time this Friday, it got a full GTechniq protection as follows, with a few added non GT products. Interior Leather cleaned using W2 mix 10:1 (Spot cleaning on dirt from PDI) Leather treated using L1 Seat Cloth treated using I1 Mats treated with I1...

Looking back at the pics, there is even overspray on the valve. I did not notice that before. Thanks for your comments, I will speak with the dealer tomorrow, and will let you kn ow the outcome.

Here are the close up pictures of some of the areas of poor finish. And this was the inside of one of the rear wheels. Again, bear in mind this is a brand new vehicle, less than 200 miles on the clock at this point. I have treated them with GTechniq C5 anyway, as I am...

By the way, the above photo is prior to the detail, I have not uploaded the photos since, but will do shortly.
