1st Big Wash/Wax of the Year

Weather was great, sun out, birds in singing in the trees, other half out shopping so cleaned the car (and hers!) + Waxed and used the M.O.P. on it:

Also, this happened last week - I have 2 cm clearance each side of my garage door frame and after 2 1/2 years the inevitable happened:

I was gutted, however after around an hour of elbow grease + Meguiars Ultimate Cut Compound I have removed 98%:

Amazingly it there are no dents at all!

Yep, the rear window was already done when I bought the car 2 years ago, but I had the rear sides done last week

More mods on the way next week

What a fantastic looking car. If ever a car suits black it's the CLS.

Well worth a days elbow grease. Looks fab.

Looking good Karl, and well done with that scrape, lucky I suppose but it looks like you did a nice job.

Was going to make a start with mine this morning but I'm just not in the mood so going to leave it till I feel ready, or may even give it to a pro detailer to look at. Never done this before, but I'm getting older and tireder.

Me too Dave, enthusiasm is not quite what it was regarding washing 'n waxing the car. Glad I persevered with the Collinite last year..

You guys,first bit of sun and you grab your buckets to clean your car,we are tough in Essex,it does not matter about the ice and snow we always get our cars clean we take them to the hand car wash and let them scrape the snow of them,while we have a hotdog and a cup of tea,nothing like it

Yep.......your car looks good.

Must be something in the air. Washed the SL on Friday and yesterday I gave it a white spirit "bath" followed by a coat of something to keep it protected and looking good.

It never ceases to amaze me how much tar is collected through the winter months.......over recent years it seems to be more than through the summer months which is not what I would have expected.

Today.......the car will be exercised.
