I'm really liking that E-Class too. I forgot to take a pic of the interior, you would be amazed at how perfect it looks, and in 8 years and 128,000 miles, I have never done more than vacuum it and wipe it down with a damp towel when I do the wash and wax.
I like the orange cutting pad, does a decent job. SSR2 seems close to DACP in terms of cutting power but DACP is a little easier to determine when it has broken down completely since it begins to dust a bit.
Soarer V-the PC enables me to more deeply polish the paint more evenly than I can by hand. It also can save me a step. Instead of using both SFP and VM or another glaze, I can now use the glaze and polishing pad if the paint is in decent shape and get better results.
Pat-Yeah, I wish I had gotten it sooner. Old habits die hard I guess. After using dboat's PC last summer, I knew I had to get one eventually.
Sean-I agree, the paint has better clarity because it seems to be more evenly polished.
