    Well now I`m hooked

    In an earlier introduction post I stated that I had a buddy who had purchased a black MB 500 SL that had been pretty neglected. Many on this forum offered their encouragement and I decided to give him a hand to straighten it out. I purchased a Megs dual action polisher and some pads and he purchased some Zaino products and we decided to have at it. I do not have any before pictures but I shot a couple in my driveway several days later. I would like to thank everyone on this site for their help with this project.

    I also decided to give our two daily drivers some TLC and purchased some Wolfgang products for them. All I can say is I am hooked on quality car care products. Thanks again everyone.

    That came out very nice. Quality car care products do make a difference. Apply them with a little knowledge and you usually have something you can stand back and smile at.

    There is great satisfaction in learning to do it yourself. Although there is the danger of getting addicted to having perfect paint. (it appears you are well beyond this stage)

    You will now spend countless hours chasing small marks that your family and friends will never notice, even when you attempt to point them out. They will think you are nuts.

    But WE will understand.

    Nice work!

    Yeah, addicting it is. I can`t believe that I wasted so much time and money on lower quality products over the years. For the wifes Accord and my Forester I went with Wolfgang products and I was amazed. These vehicles needed no correction but it took me less time and material to do two cars than it would have to just use regular cleaner wax. The end result was vastly superior. As an added bonus the Wolfgang leather cleaner was able to totally remove the denim stain on the leading edge of my wifes ivory interior that nothing else has touched. She has tried Lexol and countless over the counter products. The leather conditioner is great too.

    Not to worry Rudy, you`re among friends!

    Some say the color black is a full time job but on the other side of the coin when done correctly there`s not other color quite as impressive.

    An absolutely stellar job!
