Good lookin cars. For some reason I have always preffered the look of Mercedes when they are kept stock. I have yet to see a modification that actually enhanced the look of the car.

Thanks guys

and Veloce - I like the vent because it is only on one side. A lesser auto manufacturer would put another "dummy" air intake on the left side of the car, but since there is no turbo over there, Mercedes didn't put one it.

Love how there's only one.

Nice W124!

I want a 2.5 Turbo

Which wax did you use? Have you tried using Meguiars NXT? I have been very satisfied with them!

Ditto on the appearance of the cars . . .

Good ? on the NXT wax. My sons and I have recently used it on four of our vehicles and are quite impressed. Too early to see how it holds up.

Holson. this 300D is right near you, if you want it it's yours.
Maybe a straight-up trade for that 124 you have?

I think you know a little too much to make that deal thoguh.

The wax I used is Meguiar's Carnuba Wax.
Wash is Meguiar's NXT Gen. Car Wash.

I also used the Mercedes Benz issued paint cleaner between wash and wax.
