Wilton - you're way ahead of me. Since I have the '95 'project'
occupying one garage space, my wagon has been parked outside under an
oak tree; the sap, leaves, acorns, etc take their toll, and I've only
been able to wash/wax the car twice this year. I insisted on taking the
time to wash/wax just before this trip, knowing that a dirty car on such
a long trip would drive me nuts not to mention embarrassment if I
happened to meet up with a fellow MB enthusiast along the way. Sadly
the car may not get such attention for another six months or so.

Nice visit with Max and his family yesterday inspired/shamed me to take
better care of the paint on my arctic white, nearly-showroom 87 300D. I
was a bit embarrassed for them to see it in dire need of a proper
cleaning and waxing. Yes, I've been a back-slider. 'Been running it
through carwash and wiping it down with towel afterward, but I haven't
really cleaned and waxed it properly in the 6+ years I've had it, so,
though the paint still has no nicks, gouges, scratches, dents, dings,
rust, etc., it has been looking quite "flat" for too long. I've spent
about three hours so far today working on the rear section from rear
doors aft; all of that area is now pristine and glistening - even the
six years of exhaust film across the back has been removed (again, this
is a WHITE car), and that area is white again - not light grey. I can
get to much of it sitting on my walker; 'have to stand only to get to
the higher horizontal surfaces and can touch or lean against the car for
more stability.
BTW, 'discovered a neat trick to keep white cleaner/wax film off the
black trim areas; painters blue masking tape on those areas works
beautifully. 'Had the roll of tape in the trunk after painting a small
area on the left rear door of the black 350SDL coupla weeks ago.
