I quickly learned that in order to make the Cali Gold work it's best, don't add too much water...allow it to suds up real heavy and it works great...but if you follow the instructions it doesn't tell you how much/or less water to make it work the best. I literaly used only 3 big Gulps of water to 3 measured cups of Cali Gold and it works wonders.
the Meguiar's Quick Detailer is what really brought the shine to showroom quality.
added a client who rode by on his bike and saw my car all cleaned up. I'll have to pass along the savings to new clients because the Cali Gold is about $4 more expensive than the $1.89 bottle of Ajax.  |
Client for what? QDing his car?
Don't ever use Ajax on a car, if anything only use harsh soaps like that priorm to polishing and re-application of a real, properly applied protectant like Zaino, P21s, Kkasse, etc...
I will also add that I have seen severe fading and stripping of the shiny black pillar material on the most recent E-class model due to this same reason, in addition to the metal staining of course.
I am curious though, does anybody know the exact composition of the this metal trim used by MB for many years? Particularly the trim on the mid 90s models, if it is difference from the more current models.
