1988...Just sold it this past Saturday after 10 years. Picked up a 2001 E320. It shines but not like my 1988 here.

Heres my CLS after being dimondbrited. As you can see it is not as shiny as some.

don't worry, they never look shiny enough in the winter!

wait until it's July, at sunset. then you'll realise it actually looks perfect.
besides, a CLS shouldn't have any paint/clearcoat deterioration, it's not old enough!

just treated the all lower (Sacco) panels with Auto Glym Bumper Care, it's really helped revitalise the slightly dull door mirror shells and painted 'cladding'...

btw, this car lives out on the street in London, UK and has so far covered 111998 miles...

You need to get your wheels fixed, have they been kerbed?

I am not starting an argument![:)]

[190Evoluzione]

yes, unfortunately there is a fair amount of kerbing on the current rims.
parking can sometimes be a little more hurried than i would like, and this car spends 95% of its time navigating Central London.

i'm looking for some pristine used 16" rims of the same 8-hole design at present so dropping £200 on refurbishment is not really an option.

besides, they're not original MB rims, but German replicas made by Aludil. i paid £65 for the set off eBay 2 yearsa ago...

good job many tyres come with Rim Protection nowadays!

any ideas on a quick and easy touch-up job (it really is just the very outer edge that's kerbed, and there are no dents or flat spots) ?
