Clay bar’ed it already. Finish was amazingly clean, considering. It looked cloudy, which it is, but it’s not from dirt. The PO kept the car in a carport with a cover, so it didn’t have a lot of crud from sitting on it.
I couldn’t resist hitting it with some polish, so I started with some Meguire’s 205, which is pretty aggressive. Didn’t like the looks, so I backed off to 105.

Now I have to resist doing more until this weekend when I can pull all the trim and badges off. I’m going to WallyWorld to grab some more Delo tonight and I might do an oil change… Dan > On Nov 14, 2016, at 4:47 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Gave the new car a wash.
