-DG 105
-Meg's Aluminum Polish on chrome
-3M Plastic Polish on Taillights and Parking Lights
-Meg's Hyper Dressing on Tires

Leather is all original

-Meg's APC with a soft bristled brush on all Leather (aka Toothbrush)
-PB PwS on black area of Dash
-PB Leather Stuff on all Leather
-Meg's Aluminum Polish on Chrome
-3M Plastic Polish on all Gauge Faces

Wow. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever…” Great work on this wonderfully restored SL. I’m a real sucker for the older SL’s and this one is a jewel. Even with a little orange peel, he’ll nab some trophies with this car, thanks to you. Outstanding job.
