RE: w123 Official Photo Gallery Thread

Schmoney, are you talking about the large hoodstar image?

If so, I crept up real close. If you notice, my camera lens (fish-eye) can be seen in the reflection.

You've done a great job on your car, comparing (mentally) your old images from our little contest at W123-World. [8D] Tell us what you did! I swear, once I started using Meguiar's #26, I never looked back! Gold Class car wax became "just another wax" to me!

RE: w123 Official Photo Gallery Thread

Karugs, yeah that big hood star. The fisheye, is it a different lense, or is it some kind of feature?

Also, you should try the NXT Tech wax with #26. It works great!

RE: My newest love...

This is the newest drain of my time. I replaced every light bulb in this car (except glove compartment). Changed oil, filter, bought all new trim for 20 bucks off a parts car (a hick who had no idea of the value of his 240D was letting it rot in soggy grass, I rescued, and am still rescuing what I can). Hubcaps were polished and actually re-circled (made into a circle again) with the help of an acytelene-torch. Paint is the next step. I'm going to use a combo of restorer polishes and wax but overall, its amazingly solid paint. Everything else is great, new pads and shoes were installed just before my purchase. Anyway, here she is.

RE: w123 Official Photo Gallery Thread

Schmoney,

The fish eye lens is not part of the camera. My dad bought a separate one specific for the camera, so it can be removed at any time.

When I get back, I'll surely wax my car! #26 already did wonders. I don't want to get tempted with NXT products...yet [:D] Thanks!
