I managed to get chance to clean and polish the winter grime away last weekend. Meguires Gold Class shampoo, followed by Autoglym super resin, followed by Autoglym extra gloss. Some tyre dressing, and hey presto, one very clean and shiny CLK. I'm really chuffed with the finish, not bad for a six...
