    W219 CLS headlamp wash

    Is it possible to change the frequency of the headlamp wash on a late 2010 CLS? Apparently it only works if the windscreen is washed 5 times while the car in running. As I do mainly shorter journeys the headlamps don't get cleaned and I'm way too busy (lazy!) to clean them myself... So, is...

    'All in 1 wash & wax' shampoos and plastic trim

    In my early days I tried Turtle wax's wash and wax shampoo and although it did impart a slight gloss on the paintwork, it also added white marks to the plastic trim in one fell swoop. Bumper trim, window surround and wing mirror housing support, plastic area around the wipers and air intakes...

    C Class W205 - Headlamp wash

    My W205 doesn't have headlamp washers - something I have had on other Merc's for 12 years. Are the lights (ILS or not) so different that they do not require them ? - I have read that the lights make so much heat that cold water sprayed on them wouldn't do them a lot of good, so I think they...

    CLS63s Quick Wash

    So I've finally managed to get a chance in the 10 days I've had my CLS to give it a wash by my own hand. The be fair it was pretty damn clean when I picked it up but until you get your hands on your car it's not quite yours. First up was the Valet Pro Citrus pre-wash, followed by a rinse and...

    Great car wash in Southport.

    I know it's not strictly detailing, but a new car wash has just opened - about half a mile from home. A thorough wash, going into every crevice on the wheels, rinse and dry with proper leathers, not squeegee blades. Glass cleaned inside, all door shuts leathered, tyres dressed. The car...

    Recently traded my c270 for this E320 sport. Just had the windows tinted, replacement of the cracked windscreen and just thoroughly washed, what's the general opinion on the colour? Is this a Marmite car? (I quite like it but the salesman didn't like the colour!)

    Headlamp wash count

    If I recall, the HL washers are meant to activate every 12 squirts (or so) with xenon lights. This does happen if the lights are on (as you would expect) but only per journey. Once you turn off the ignition, the count resets to zero, meaning that the washers are hardley ever used. Is this...
