My '83 240D needs waxing. I know a very good detailer and I want to use
Griotts or something similar in order to get the longest lasting job.
It has been an "inside car" all its life and I don't believe there is any
oxidation since recent body work (due to a parking lot scrape) can't be
found.
3M Show Car Wax. Don't waste your money on all the "carnuba claims."
This is from someone known to many as the "Mercedes Martha Stewart," so take
the advice seriously.

some good pads. You'll cover a lot
more ground and do it a lot faster with one of these.
Ask if you have any other questions

There is actually a process you want to go through from the start to get the
best protection on your finish. It takes a good day or two to do it all, but
it's really a once a year (or two) thing, with regular waxings to maintain the

Yeah, guess I need to finish that part of the Web site, don't I?
It's like this:
Remove trim, door handles, windshield washer jets, etc.
Wash (by hand, ideally)
Dry
Clay bar all horizontal surfaces at least, bes
So you can glue/tape the badges back on over the wax? Do they actually stick

And as Donald says, a random orbit polisher/buffer will really make quick work

Will probably get the good detail guy to wax it since it's being driven
daily and I can't do much outside at this time of year. I'll buy the 3M
Show Car Wax for him to use. Wife would get it detailed about twice per
