Haha...you should have just shown a close up picture of that Wendy`s cup in the center console as your before. That would have said it all :)

Was there damage to that front end? The bumper cover isn`t even on correctly...poor Merc!

Great work as always Thomas, I too would like to know what steamer you`re using. Looking into getting one. Apparently my website is bringing the soccer moms out of the wood work and crayon etc isn`t all that easy to get off so I`m hoping steam with aid my battles.

I`m starting to find out that most benz owners are just that...owners. They dont` care what it looks like, but they have a benz and that makes them superior.

I appreciate the kind words. Thank you.



I use a daimer steamer.

That was the first merc I ever liked, had a die-cast model as a kid. They still look sharp going down the road today. Great work!
