<div class="bbWrapper">As some of you know, I bought an S Class the other week so that means that sadly my E320 will be going. I hadn't got a chance to clean the E since it's last outing so yesterday as it was a nice day, I gave it one last clean. <br /> <br /> Fairly simple two bucket wash but decided to try Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax. For initial application you spray it on the car whilst it's wet from a rinse and then dry as normal. Further applications are a spray on and rinse off application similar to Gyeon Wetcoat. Seems to have a left a nice slick finish. Meguiars tyre shine to finish off. <br /> <br /> <script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json"> { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded.

<div class="bbWrapper">Lovely Alex, wish i was in the market for something like this, i wouldn't hesitate buying one of your motors. Glwts<img src="/styles/mbclub/smilies/thumb.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":thumb:" title="Thumb :thumb:" data-shortname=":thumb:" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Very nice, shared it with a few friends in case anyone is looking for one.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Great looking example in both overall condition and in quality of cleaning.<br /> <br /> Silly question this: would you call that &quot;Hybrid ceramic wax&quot; spray a &quot;detailing spray?&quot;</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Thanks for all the complements guys. It’s a car I’m really proud of. <br /> <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="member: 102533" data-quote="MikeInWimbledon" data-source="post: 2853884" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/goto/post?id=2853884" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-2853884">MikeInWimbledon said:</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> Silly question this: would you call that &quot;Hybrid ceramic wax&quot; spray a &quot;detailing spray?&quot; </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> It claims to be a wax coating and from what I’ve seen of the beading in detailing posts, it’s pretty good. <br /> <br /> You can apply it with a spray on rinse off application after the initial coating. All depends on how long it lasts now.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I have just read your for sale thread. The price shocked me when I got to the bottom. I thought it would be a lot more. I'm sure it will be snapped up</div>

Sadly gotta be realistic with the price and it's an older car. I reckon it's a bargain for someone but then I would say that haha.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Yes it is a lot of car for the money. I'm not familiar with the prices for that model (obviously) but thought it would be 5 something not 1 something. It's probably got over a grands worth of wax layers</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Having seen hundreds and owned over a dozen W211’s of different types I can honestly say I’ve never seen the spec of an Avantgarde with half leather yet heated memory seats! <br /> <br /> Good luck with the sale - it looks very tidy and cared for.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Alex... This car looks absolutely mint.....<br /> <br /> and the price your selling at is a steal....<br /> <br /> If i needed another daily i would grab this!...</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Thank you mate. I think it’s a great car although biased. I have really looked after it and in turn it’s been great. <br /> <br /> I have someone from the forum coming tomorrow so fingers crossed we strike a deal. <br /> <br /> I’ll be sad to see the car go but a big happier knowing it was going to be cherished.</div>
