Hi All

Not been posting much as been on a job in the Wilderness of Canada so very little Internet access, however I'm back now and decided to take advantage of the weather today. As some know the CLK is about to become my daily driver for a short period whilst I reorganise the family fleet and put the new toy in the garage.

So today I got stuck in and gave her a full service and Winter protection detail, a few photos below. She scrubs up well for a 17 year old motor with original paint.

Detail done using Meg's clay, megs 205 polish, Poorboys black hole glaze, ExP Sealant, finished off by P222 wax.

Nice job. I still think the overall W208 profile has aged quite well.
 
Lovely.

I'll bring mine down soon .....
 
Some good work there……best you hone your skills on mine. BTW, is your name Tom Kerridge (celebrity chef)? I base my question on the reflection in picture five. :devil: :D





A bit cheeky of me. Sorry.:ban:
