First in Concours

I placed first today in the Greater Washington Section of the Mercedes Benz Car Club event. Thanks to all Autopian's for great guidance and tips!

I polished the paint with Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion, waxed with Souveran, and QD'ed with Crystal Mist. Pictures do not do justice to the finish.

I am very impressed with Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. I used the PC, white pad, on 5.

But it takes more then good paint, everything under the hood, the interior, and trunk must be good. If you have an opportunity to enter a councours, do it. Nice events, and a focus on what we like best. Sharp cars!

Very nice!

That generation of E class has also been one of my favorites.
