2005 Mercedes Benz E500 Detail

**Gary Sword** · 10-15-2009, 11:26 AM

About once a year I post a detail of this car. For being almost 5 years old it looks like it just came off the showroom floor. I purchased it for my wife for Christmas in 2004. She really don't care much about cars and usually drives our Dodge Caravan more than this car.

The car has a great paint job. It's an unusual color of white called Alabaster.

Exterior:
Wash - Poorboy's SS&S with a white Schmitt
Paint - Pinnacle Liquid Souveran (No correction needed)
Windows, Glass Roof & Lights - Klasse AIO
Wheels - Duragloss 501
Tires - Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber Protectant
Exhaust Tips - Collinite 850 Metal Wax

Interior:
Wash - Connolley Leather Cleaner
Leather - Connolly Hide Care
Applied with hands, left on overnight then buffed off with Microfiber
Plastic - 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium
Carpet & Headliner - Spot Clean with DP Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner

Engine Bay:
Wash - Mequiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner
Plastic & Rubber - 303 Aerospace Protectant

Sorry about the typo in the title! Any admin's please feel free to fix it.

Beautiful car. Looks BETTER than new.

On a side note, do you have a Bugatti?

Gary typo fixed.... and I have to say out of all the waxes I have seen while working in this business I have to say hands down best on white is Pinnacle Liquid Souveran, and your work proves it! Great detail, beautiful car, love the double sun roofs.

Thanks for posting!

So clean! Excellent work as always, Gary!

The car looks very elegant and "airy" in that color combination. It must be a pleasure to work on (and drive)!

I've seen your past postings of this car Gary, and it seems absolutely ageless. Super work on your part, but I wouldn't expect anything less from you.
