CLS63s Quick Wash

[Alex225]

So I've finally managed to get a chance in the 10 days I've had my CLS to give it a wash by my own hand. The be fair it was pretty damn clean when I picked it up but until you get your hands on your car it's not quite yours.

First up was the Valet Pro Citrus pre-wash, followed by a rinse and two bucket wash with microfibre mitts and Dodo Juice Born to be Mild shampoo.

Gave the car a quick coat of Gyeaon Wetcoat and a wipe down with Britemax Spray and Shine. The car has a coat of Gtecniq C1 and EXO applied already.

Also gave the engine a wipe down with some Autoglym Rubber and Vinyl care as it had been kept clean anyway.

Mid week I'd managed to give the interior a once over, again not particularly dirty but can never be too clean right?

Looks fantastic and has been well looked after

 

[Alex225]

Thank you. Yes, it really has been cared for.

Much like buying a new car, I just need to maintain it!

Nice job Alex

Looks awesome - Helps to motivate me to get outside and scrub off the dead bugs off the front of mine......

 

[Alex225]

Hanks for the kind words guys. I am so pleased with the car, comes up so well. Also today's weather was perfect for car cleaning!

Very nice indeed

Looks lovely-Where did you get the foot rest/dead pedal from? I think my 'E' needs one

 

[Alex225]

It was on the car when I bought it I'm afraid. I can ask if it was aftermarket, I just assumed it was standard.

Hmmm - my S205 doesn't have one either, I never know where I should rest my left foot!

 

[Alex225]

I've been used to having a foot rest as all the Renaults I've owned have a had foot plates. I tend to keep my left foot well out of the way in the CLS though. Since it's redundant in an auto haha.

That car looks familiar and if it's the 63 I'm thinking of then you have got yourself a really great example. I could be wrong but the Renault Megane 225 connection gives it away

 

[Alex225]

Would your E55 have been detailed by the same person who owns an R26.R Megane?

If so I admired your car when it was worked on!

It is a standard item, its exactly the same as the one in my car.
