Or the other alternative is have me maintain the car on a weekly or monthly basis.
Thats the option I chose, Michael comes ones a month to keep the SL clean.
Without discussing costs, I think his charges are very reasonable, and once you see the quality of his work you know it was a good use of your money.
The SL doesn't get a lot of use (particularly in the winter) but it's great to have it tip top and looking as though it was brand new (even though it is 7.5 years old!!!). Of course the extra clean/shiny/smooth paintwork shows up the fact that the black AMG mesh grills need re-painting and some of the plastic bits (like the side fins) could do with changing!
Cheers
