SL500 Spit and polish pics

[Sp!ke]

I gave the old girl a clean on the weekend so took a few pics to put in the album.

Suffice to say, no Fairy liquid or Mr Sheen was used in the cleaning process.

Well done! Nice job I bet those wheels are a pain to clean!

Too right.

I think I need a set of wet weather wheels as these are a nightmare to keep looking good. I really need to find a gadget that will let me polish between the rim bolts as this bit currently has to be done by hand.

Handsome car that!

Very nice - though without the AMG bodykit the wheels look a bit out of place to me.

Nice looking car - and nicely polished.

you might be right there - If anyone spots a reasonably priced AMG bodykit, please let me know.

thats an absolute stunner mate,nice wheel choice too.i had a facelift sl320 with these rims on and yes they are a pain to clean but nip down to your local hardware store and you will find an array of polishing woolen wheels in all sort of sizes that attach to a powerdrill,rub the rim with some autosol and buff off with these and they come up perfect mate.

The wheels are a nightmare in the winter..

Never found a good way of cleaning them... I just use a wheel sealant and then once every few washes ill get the autosol and a comfy rug...

Scrubs up well. Have you tried a Sonic Scrubber on the wheels.....?
