Hello all.
So I've just took ownership of a 1999 w210 e240
Now I appreciate it's not the most amazing car that Mercedes has ever built but it's in pretty good condition for a 1999
Has some rust bubbles on arches as you would expect however the rest of the car is mint.
I have just cleaned up the interior including a full leather clean using turtle wax luxe leather balm. I actually cleaned them with Auto Glym leather shampoo first but to be honest they didn't look all matt and supple so went back to a tried and trusted product, I've used turtle was leather cleaner before and it works really well, I use a Maguires brush to work the product in and then after a few mind wipe off with a damp cloth, always looks super matt and supper supple afterwards
So the leather seats and the dash have been cleaned up, including reviews fitting the drivers door card so the locking indicator pin now fits in its round hole and goes up and down when locked and unlocked (it was under the door card which was fitted badly, nice and tidy now)
I now want to turn to the body work!
But before I jump in and buy something I was hoping to kill 2 birds with 1 stone
Is there a polishing product I can buy that can fit on to an orbital sander, I ask because I need to buy a sander for a table I've bought and wondered if there was a tool that would work for both? Or an angle grinder for that matter.
I'm also keen to polish my head lights as they are a bit milky
Thanks in advance
Michael
