This is true - both explanations are correct. In the case of the convertible, it’s not just the air displacement, it’s the proper sealing of the window t the convertible or hard top. -D > On Jul 16, 2022, at 6:05 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote: > > My SL600 and 560SEC do the same

Re: [MBZ] Polishing concrete

I was at JC Penney this morning picking up some new bow ties and I noticed that in some of their "trendy" departments the floors were polished concrete. Dan On Nov 17, 2013, at 12:00 PM, Rich Thomas wrote: > They just snap together, pop them up and use the vac and a mop. In Houston > there w

Re: [MBZ] Polishing concrete

They just snap together, pop them up and use the vac and a mop. In Houston there was an outfit that used these to make basketball courts and such outdoors, I used to see them around here and there. --R On 11/17/13 9:57 AM, Dan Penoff wrote: Wouldn't you be concerned about cruft getting under

What about those snap-down plastic tiles? They come in many colors and look quite sturdy. --R On 11/17/13 9:06 AM, Jaime Kopchinski wrote: I did a bunch of research on garage floor coatings earlier this year. I initially was going to go for a DIY epoxy job, but after more and more research

Re: [MBZ] Polishing concrete

Wow. A three car garage with work space. I hate you. When we bought the "Momolith", as I named the behemoth place in Indy, there was going to be a good 2-3 weeks of work done before we could move in. Amazingly, the garage floor was almost pristine, considering the original owners had lived

Re: [MBZ] Polishing concrete

I did a bunch of research on garage floor coatings earlier this year. I initially was going to go for a DIY epoxy job, but after more and more research I determined it wouldn't hold up to what I'd subject it to. I considered tile and polish too. I rejected polish due to the huge amount of effort

And also extremely slick.  Don't drive in at any speed out of a rainstorm unless you want a rear entrance in the garage (c: The epoxy finishes are pretty good.  I am getting ready to do that in my garage as soon as all the other projects around here get done.  My wife wants the black and white

Re: [MBZ] Polishing concrete

Yes polishing is more expensive than the slab! They did a nice smooth job but epoxy is delicate and can chip and peel. A polished surface is permanent and beautiful. Sent from my iPhone On Nov 17, 2013, at 12:43 AM, Craig wrote: > On Sat, 16 Nov 2013 22:25:03 -0500 dsereta...@yahoo.com wrote

[MBZ] Polishing concrete

I'm building a new garage and the slab is poured. I'm thinking about having a polished concrete surface. The guy who poured the slab quoted me $7 per square foot. This is way beyond my budget. I was therefore thinking about doing it myself. Does anyone know if this is a DIY type of job. Anyone

Re: [MBZ] polishing

I'll be putting the finishing touches on my C300 tonight for tomorrow's Seattle Section MBCA Car Show. I've already clayed it followed by polishing with a Menzerna polish for nano-particle clears. Then a Speed Shine cleanup (my favorite detailing spray from Griot's). After that I applied M

You can be sure the rain will hold off until the last tire is dressed! Good luck at the show, bring home a trophy. Ed 300E 2009/8/8 > > ..If it's not a clear coat and is oxidized, use Machine Polish to clean > > up finish.. > > > You seem to be suggesting here that clear coats don't oxidize an
