Posting some pictures of my E300 after a brief spring cleaning. I wanted to test out new products I have purchase during the winter months...



- Wash with Autobrite foam lance (3oz. of DP Extreme Foam soap)

- P21S 100% as LSP

- Gummi Pfledge on rubber door trim/seals

- Black WOW on hood cowling and wiper arm

- Optimum Opti-Bond tire gel (this is the look I having been looking for. Not too shiny, but evident the tires have been dressed)

Thanks Tom.... Beleive it or not, but this winter has been the coldest in a long time here (from what the locals and news casters are saying). It was in the 50's when I snapped those photos.....



I'm waiting for a spring cleaning thread on your E when you get around to it :D
 
Waiting for a couple good days to clean my '96 E too. Picked away at it a couple times and have it presentable, but it needs a little more attention.



Yours looks great! Nice work. Love the color with the grey in the bumper trim. Is it a Euro import or did you add the side markers?

It's a US car, but I added the fender markers on my own. I had a member from another forum send me over the measurements of the location of the marker on the fender, taped off the area with masking tape and took my Dremel to it. Exposed metal treated with the MB touch-up paint I have. I wired them in parallel with the front turn signals.

If you ever in Cola, let me know as I have a Makita and can find time to lend a helping hand.

Believe it or not, none will be needed. I washed her a couple of weeks ago. The thing is still beading like mad and the surfaces slick as can be...courtesy of Meg's #16 :) Now, the wife's wagon, that's a different story :soscared:

Will do. I was actually going to be up there this weekend with some friends, but I think that fell through.
 
Cars still looking great!



I've since sold my E300 and haven't been on the Mercedes forums but I always loved your E300!

Thanks Zack. I knew I recognized your screen name from another board (MercedeShop.com)? Did you replace it with the '09 Camry?
