1985 Mercedes 190D

[bhg8gt]

I spent this past weekend polishing my 1985 Mercedes 190d. First I washed and Clayed. Then I used M105/205 and finished with Adam`s Machine Super Wax. I still need need to work on some deeper scratches, but I`m happy with the result on 25 year old paint.

Is this silver blue metallic? I had an `83 SD in that color.



Do you get winter where you live? This car looks very decent. Nice job!

It`s blue metallic. The car has been in Texas it`s whole life, so no real harsh winters. I`m the second owner, my aunt bought the car new in `85.

Very nice clarity considering the age .... very nice work. :2thumbs:

bhg8gt- Yeah, nice job on a cool Benz :xyxthumbs Glad you`re keeping it in the family.



Smart move not going nuts on the correction, the clear on those early-mid `80s cars can be kinda thin.
