I'm impressed!
I will bring my 300SDL over right away for the same treatment :)

Very nice! Just wondering why those red wires aren't encased in a wire sheathing of some sort?

yup, next is to put those in split loom.:cool:

I looked at the box, they are actually brillo pads. don't use lemon scented, makes your hands stink.

thanks!

I'm trying to decide what to do with the valve cover next time I have it off.

either black it out, or put a fresh polish on it and use clear coat to preserve it.

I vote the second option, but that's personal preference.
Some elbow grease and some metal cleaner gave my valve cover a great natural shiny look.

Looks great! What are those two plastic tanks on the driver's side?
