A beautiful detailing job on my all time favorite car. Here is a picture of my 2017 CLS550 with the monster V8 twin turbo. I have enjoyed every second with it.
I like Chemical Guys Extreme Body Wash + Wax. Smells good, foams easily and maintains a good foam throughout the wash. This is not meant to take the place of a spray wax but does a nice job of...
I think the CLS sport coup (four door coup) looks better in white because it is so low and sweeping. Mine is a 2017 and when I saw several of them the "Diamond" White always stood out as more...
What an idiot I am! Yesterday I tried Sonax S+S and did it all wrong. I read the instructions, saw the video and read this thread and still did it wrong. I washed my car as usual and rinsed off. ...
845 haze caused by one of (or combination of) temp./type of coating and condition of paint/heavy application. Only way to avoid problems with all three is to place bottle of wax in sun or hot water...
About a year and a half ago I bought a new 2017 CLS550 (love this beast btw!). I figured I would spend a few extra bucks and get a top of the line product to protect the beautiful Mercedes paint...
I'm a pollen expert thanks to nearly 25 years living in the country in East Texas. If that is one of your main concerns I can recommend two products which have served me very well over the years: ...
Excellent! I totally agree. Things like this should help make you the best detailer in the world, although all these favorable personal characteristics won't even get you to first base if you want...
Polish Angel products, at least the two I have used, work very well and are easy to apply. It is hard to justify the price as I get good results from a number of much less expensive products but...
What a super job! I'm jealous!! I have a 2017 CLS550, also in Diamond White and I can't get it to look quite as good as you did on your friend's car. Although the 550 is not quite up to the...
Since you are a die hard C845 user and are looking for a "topper" or "booster" spray wax to use over it, why not use the very best topper you can over C845 instead of experimenting with these other...
Before applying any lsp I do the following:
1. Wash car with CGs Clear Citrus at the stripping ratio. Lately, however, I have used an even more powerful soap - Meguiar's Wash Plus and I like it a...
Polish glass using Griots white pads: Griot's Garage 6 Inch Glass Polishing Pads, Griots Garage Glass Polish Pads, Glass Polishing Discs. My favorite polish is this one - Duragloss Nu-Glass (NG)...
Yes, that will work. I live in Texas so most of the year I just put it in the sun for a while. It will be liquid in no time and you can mist, spread and buff, almost like a QD. Works for me! Give...
I have a 2017 MB CLS550 in Diamond White, which I assume is another name for "pearl white". It is a beautiful color paint which shines in the sun and sparkles under night lights. This is my second...
Yes, there are occasional 25% off sales but they are rarely accompanied by no minimum free shipping. I think a sale like this one is about as good as it gets unless you are buying a hundred dollars...
You went a lot further than I did, Bob. When he said, "I like Collinite (845) a lot", that was all I needed to know. Sometimes people get into unnecessary trouble when they try to top a product...
I am surprised Bob did not mention this in his post since it was he who first talked about a method of applying 845 that I now use as a "topper". If you like the looks of 845 but just want to boost...
Here is another tip I learned from one of the guys here at the forum. You can boost the shine and protection by using 845 as a "topper" every so often after your normal wash when the car is nice and...
Another vote for DG AquaWax. However, recently I experimented with wash/wax products to eliminate yet another step of using a drying aid. Several shampoos are "wax enhanced" and produce a nice...
Yea, different results as mine has worked well for quite a while now. Like I said, for five bucks you can't hardly go wrong to try it. If you get a good one like mine it is a true value compared to...
I would not fool with hand pump sprayers as battery powered is the way to go. There are many battery powered tank sprayers on the market, some already mentioned here. I use these for applying...
