Ha ha - if u lined up a few cars Terry I would be there a week! :lol:

Although at least ur weather would be good for wax...

If I have one glass red I wouldn’t be able to stand let alone detail! Ha ha ha

Nice work matey. Amazed you got those wheels clean without having to take them off for a scrubbing!

I quite like the CLS (apart from the dumpy headlights). Amazing value for money :ok:

Just had a quick squint on autotrader, can't argue with something like this... - 5.0 V8 :D and check out the mileage.... https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...01811072229938

That's a fine effort!

@Steve - is that vintage one of the ones plagued with electrical issues? That price would scare me a bit.

I really like the CLS shooting brake.

Awesome Ryan, what make polisher do you use if you don't mind me asking? :ok:

Cleanyourcar.com do a good bundle (I recommended to Terry)...

Think it’s the DAS 6 V2 Pro... something like £135 including menzerna compounds and foam pads :ok:

Would scare you as its too cheap? You could offer him more if it makes you feel better :lol:

But no idea re: electrics, I know that era of Merc wasn't amazing on the reliability front but never owned one so no experience of it. Looks like that ad has expired now, someone must have bought it already ;)

Haha, my worry is it was cheap because they wanted shot of it, i.e. the problems had begun!

So more that the price disguised the true cost of buying it.

Most Merc owners I know have had electrical worries. My father recently bought a C Class estate and researched to the hilt before committing! :lol:

Looks good. Black always looks ace when done right.
