If you own a Merc you are probably a car 'enthusiast' and this breed of motorists spend time on their cars to keep them looking good.
My wife understands why I spend so much time on keeping my car in A1 condition as it is a type of hobby.
Nice job JohnEclass.

Thanks for the replies, no rain tomorrow so will see how easy she comes clean after a full machine polish at Pallas Autorefinishing 2 weeks ago, the W211 looked great from a couple of feet away but up close the swirls....OMG! She is now like a mirror with a coat of Colinite 476 and Megs Tech Wax I'm hoping the road film will just rinse off......

If you want to see just how clean and shiny a W211 can be have a look at Pallas's website - car 28 E class

Blimey that's some polish... However I agree with the wife lol :-/

 

[JohnEclass]

Wash your'e mouth out!..... Rashman will never speak to you again

Have just spent 3 hours cleaning / vacuming / polishing.....the wife was at the gym, now she seems to think I should do the same in the house

Excellent job. Congratulations. I know from experience how much effort is needed to make a black car pristine. That's why I now go for silvers and greys - they also match what's left of my hair!!
