wash

The rear wash-wipe on my w124 estate only has an intermittent setting, is this a relay fault? If so which one? I have already replaced the N10 and my Haynes manual doesn't give any clues. Happy new Year.

Tried this last week and despite typical Manchester weather for a week my car is still shiny and clean. If you are lazy like me I can recommend this. I know these other products that you put on yourself will produce better results but I think the Shell drive-through is pretty good.

So I ‘m there at the dealership, again, with regard to my CLK alloy wheels. They have been refurbished three times in total all within the last year. The last time they were done was the back end of November 2008. The reason they were refurbished instead simply providing new wheels on warranty...

Thinking of getting hid's and front wash wipes for my '94 c280. Would i be correct in thinking that it was only the last of the facelift cars fitted with these? Are the lights plug and play or what all will i need? The wash wipes are only to satisfy myself in the looks department. :thumb:

Hi all, Just wondering what the advice is for taking a C220 CDI (Saloon) with the pop up star on the bonnet through an automatic car wash, will I be Ok with this or should I stick to manual spray wash? Thanks

As the title suggests, my first two weeks as a Merc owner have not been all that great but only time will tell right? Week one should have consisted of getting used to the park brake etc but instead it ended with my parktronic dying (red blocks) and a 6" nail on one of my new rear tyres and...

We have a guy who comes to the unit and does a wash and go on my CLS and a few others but I feel i should be cleaning the DB9 myself :o I then realised that although I did it a few weeks a go I didnt have a clue so can someone explain the best method - I assume two buckets is one a soapy one...

Sorry for another query so quickly. My wash wipe is obviously disconnected somewhere in the tailgate - something which is supposed to be a fairly common problem. Water runs down the inside of the tailgate and onto the floor instead of through the nozzle. Can't find any info on t'internet and...

Got a daft question. Can anyone tell me whether the rear wash wipe nozzles on said car should rotate with the blade or remain static? I'm sure that they were previously static, i.e. always pointing roughly 'upwards' but they now seem to rotate with the blade spraying water everywhere but...

i had the local lovly polish blokes do my car the other day and then when i got home thought there was orange bird poo on the drivers side front wheel arch so i look a bit closer and see they had managed to remove the panint and the rust under it ! i had both wings filled & smoothed &...

I have a Spare, working order Headlight wash wipe motor for left side, passenger. Part number is 124 820 0942, it has a three pin plug made by Bosch. Open to Sensible offer. Pm Me.

I'd heard rumours about this stuff. So, as my company hack is due to go back and it's never been cleaned since I got it, not that bad really, it was only in May this year :p I bought some with regards to using it my new car. With some trepidation I set about using it on the Astra. Hell's teeth...

Hi, I have standard grey seats and carpets... and now some stains as a added bonus. I don't need those stains any more and LOVE to get rid of them! How would you remove stains (chocolate and coffee, dirt)? Should I pay for full proper valet? Or can I just spend one afternoon and do this by...

took the car to the jet wash last night and stupidly gave it a spray through the grill without thinking and also quickly the underside of car. I know have belt squeel. It only went after a long drive when engine was hot and weather was warm, although i was in a traffic jam a long time when the...

I took my car to a hand car wash. When i got home the front passenger wheel had flakes of Alloy missing and a BIG blob and drip stripped off from near the centre of the wheel. The place uses V powerful Jets on the whole car. Is this whats caused the problem, i really have no idea? Im quite...

Hey guys, the C25Otdi is in for a clean. Pictures are to follow, and my first ever mod!!

Having replaced the headlamp wiper blades the other day, got me thinking - when did they stop fitting them on cars and why. I seem to remember every big car had them as an option during the 80's whereas now none seem to have it. ..... so have aerodynamics and lense coatings got better or were...

Hi All Ive purchased some miracle drywash to clean my black merc for times I cant access my pressure washer and trusty autoglym kit :D Anyone else tried this product? if so what was the result?

this stuff really works well Just polish your wheels with a chemical polish not a wax. Then apply this stuff and let dry for 15 mins and then wipe off. I do 2 coats and it really helps keep the wheels clean and makes washing the wheels very easy Its about £12 a tub but it lasts for years.

........and I love Edna all over again. She's like new. No pics as there's no sun - so perfect for an impromptu wash n wax etc. First good rinse, shampoo with Meguiars NXT Shampoo, rinse, then clayed with Meguiars smooth n shine kit - easy peasy, rinse, dry and wax with Meguiars Tech wax -...
