Hi peaches. Here's pictures of Otto, my new C280 after I spent all day detailing. Also pictured is my Mothers C300, "Heidi." Heidi was a dirty dirty girl today though There's nay a swirl mark or any greasy **** to be found on my car when I'm through. I do everything by hand, use Microfiber towels, a Clay Bar, Mothers Showtime Detailer (With clay bar) and many other products over a period of usually greater than 8 hours on the finish alone. I'd tell you more... but then I'd be getting into details.

Oh Yeah, also also pictured... The "Crayon" (Cobalt tow car). The "Death Star" (Chevy Pick-Up with Duramax / Allison combo, "Obama" a Black SL 600 (In a distant Garage), Two New Holland Tractors, and trusty old "Wilma" who was bumped from her garage space, aka The Restoration Berth.

Those red fluffy dice are just so tacky! What were you thinking? Is it a security thing? Makes the car look like its owned by the local pimp or drug dealer! No one would be game to touch it!
How about showing a bit of class !!!

I've always had dice in my cars, it's been tradition since the first one. What's "Tacky" to you is amusing to me. You can be outraged when your Mercedes happens to be cleaner and better cared for than mine sir

Probably to get reactions like that... hahah!

I'd rather die in a fire. Check my albums to see how nice I got my '97 C280 with 200,000+ km on it. It didn't look quite that nice when I became it's 6th owner...

I actually still have that car's VIN memorized, and I'm able to repeat it off the top of my head. Scary Stuff!

lol tyler, I like that shirt... It was a gift...........

no swirls in the sun, but what about under shop lights in the garage?

Gawd, that's the SECOND time you've made me waste beer by making me laugh and blow it out my nose!! Been years since I heard anyone use that line.

Nice! I miss having a car nice enough to put time into a proper detail.

I spend about an hour waxing my truck twice a year and its pointless, becacuse after a day of sitting on a jobsite it has an inch of dust on it and looks like it did before I started.

Nice work on the car.

I’m thinking it’s time now though, to do a little detail work on that hair.
