Both cars get at least one wash per week (maybe more if one of em gets driven alot and has collected tons of bugs, or has been nailed by sap or bird crap. But thats not often. Tires and trim are dressed with every wash, and paint is treated with Meguiars NXT speeed detailer to maintain the just waxed look. I like to wax both cars at least 3 times per month. The C280's paint is much easier to take care of. The 300D is darker and shows dirt more, but it pays off with deeper reflections and a bolder shine. Not to menton a 21 year old car that has paint that looks new makes it look even better.
My favoriite produucts are Meguiars NXT wax, NXT Spray wax (nice for use after a wash- quickly shines and revives), NXT Speed detailer, Color X (excellent for cleaning paint, removing oxodiization, fine scratches and swirls, and really brings out thhe richness of the paint color. And I just came across Meguiars NXT Insane Tire Shine, and I LOVE it. Havent seen the tires look blacker or shinier EVER before. And I always throw a coat of 303 Aerospace protectant on the interiors of both cars once a week.
Happy car cleaning! Keep em shiny!
