First click and brag post for me so be gentle lol. Been driving this for the past 10 days as my boss lent me it as she went to Egypt. Handy my car is in with VW having some work done (yay not stuck with a 1.2 courtesy car)



Car had never been cleaned properly - not even by the Mercedes garage after it's recent service. Part of the deal with me borrowing it was that i would clean it for her.



So we'll start with the before (I've put 1000 miles on her in the past 10 days)



Process was;

1. Rinse car thoroughly

2. Shampoo with Gold Class(wash mitt & 2 bucket method)

3. Rinse and dry with Flexiblade and a few MF's

4. Waxed with Harly Wax (no time to polish)

Interior wiped down with damp MF and then dressed with #38, very light coat buffed off with dry MF to give matt effect.

Here's why no polish. It started spitting so i dried and started with wax just to seal it.

PS - I know there is some swirls but i will tackle them in summer with some #80 lol

Looks good! What are your impressions of Harly wax?



I really like it. Easy to apply/remove and gives great depth to reflections. Durability is good as well. Overall im really impressed with it.
 
Looks good considering no polishing.

Beads are crazy, nice shots too.

What's Harly Wax? You're not talking about S100 are you? Got a link to it?
