Re: [MBZ] CL600 Update

I bought a package deal from them through Amazon to basically replace a bunch of stuff I had but needed replacement. I saw this stuff when I was looking for information on DIY ceramic coatings. Seems like good stuff so far. I bought some stripping wash to clean off the CL600 finish and it worke

Re: [MBZ] CL600 Update

Thanks! Yes, you apply it with a wax pad/applicator by hand, then let it flash off, which takes about 1-2 minutes. Then a microfiber towel to wipe/buff off. I’m skeptical of any of this “ceramic” stuff as when it all boils down to it, the thing that matters is how long it lasts. In this climate

Re: [MBZ] CL600 Update

So do you apply that by hand with a pad of some sort or do it with the buffer? I used some Meguiars wax with some sort of ceramic aspect and used the buffer after the clay bar, compound, polish steps. Just noticed today it needs it again as the water is not beading up. --FT Sent from iFōn >

Re: [MBZ] CL600 Update

The electronic keys have always been pricey. I don’t recall them ever being that cheap, but I could be wrong. Again, that’s the electronic key and the blade. Remember that they’re two different parts and have to be ordered as such. -D > On Mar 23, 2023, at 7:24 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] CL600 Update

If you mean my local dealer, I paid around $260 for the electronic key and the blade that goes with it. Looks like retail is around $325 or thereabouts. The way keys are disappearing for these older cars, I’m making sure I’ve got at least two of them. I always do anyway, but the more the merrier
