Its great owning a W123 that looks showroom fresh... its not something you see everyday, and its even greater seeing others who like to keep their own w123's in the same kind of shape. Keep up the great work guys!

I could not have said it any better! We pretty much have the same system save for a few items I tend to get lazy on. But I agree, once you've managed to get the car clean, upkeep is minimal that you can channel your efforts towards improvement rather than "cleaning" in general.
Here's the link to the GTG thread:

The boys are planning a 2nd GTG this June, so I won't be able to make it. If you're anywhere nearby sooner, we could hold a mini-meet as I'm in the OC area mostly and know some folks around.
Curious, what has been the most OCD thing you've (Veloce/Olsalty) done to clean your W123? I've tried scrubbing the wheel wells but I realized that diluted Simple Green works best with a high pressure washer (just be careful around weatherstrip tabs/covers). And this was knowing that the next day was going to rain
