What have you done for your W210 today/lately?

Day at the spa,

Full body scrub: Meguiar's Gold auto wash

Manicure: Detailed dash console and steering wheel

Pedicure: Meguiar's Tire dressing

Massage: Carnauba wax......no happy ending

Fitted her Bra and slathered Armor All, all over it

Next she'll probably get hosed at Mr. Shell's, she likes that V-Power Nitro+

New cabin filters, used Bosch instead of OEM, they are not nearly as good, having about a third less filtering fins...

Removed all 4 wheels, scrubbed off brake dust and grime, waxed them so they are easier to keep clean . Cleaned all for wheel wells with tires off, calipers, suspension parts accessible when wheels off, used simple green and a scrub brush, took about 35 minutes each, and they look very clean and nice, can see the silver paint.

Clayed car, used Mequiars polish then syn. wax with Griots random orbital polisher. Car looks fantastic ....

Took a few days to fix my steering wheel using the leatherique steering wheel kit.
Had a few spots where I was wearing into the leather and lots of cracks. decided to go for a slightly lighter grey for a change in contrast and fixed most of the cracks and all of the very worn patches with crack filler. left some of the cracks for a little more character :wink
Very happy with the final result.

I have done a couple of things over the past few months:

- Replaced brake switch because the car was stuck in park.
- Bought and installed a new truck seal; the old one was dried up, cracked, pressed flat, and generally useless.
- Installed a new head unit with Bluetooth hands free calling.
- Leatherique'd my seats. Didn't make the seats look any better, but the leather is noticeably softer.
- Replaced lower windshield trim 'cause that old stuff looked terrible.
- Religiously washed it, including under the hood.

Things getting done soon:

- Transmission fluid change

Things I want to do:

- Install a subwoofer because this car has almost no bass.
- Find some wax or polish to make the oxidation on my trunk lid less ugly.
- Figure out why there is a random whistling sound that occurs mostly at highway speeds, but also at a standstill sometimes.

changed the oil


I need to swap out my front spring pads to get rid of the reverse rake.

I've made good progress the past couple of weeks and still have a fair number of other things to do but she is looking good these days. My wife is getting jealous of all the attention she is getting.
