thats it.



You can use a garden sprayer to spray it, or just paint it on if you have full access to a panel.


Thanks for sharing. At present, I like my way better for a couple reasons: 1. It's already done! 2. It was a very quick procedure. 3. The wax is just that, wax, there's nothing else combined with it that could over time cause it to leach out (not sure).

I will be keeping an eye on it to be sure there's no developing issue.

BTW - I have been anxious to hear back from you regarding your statement regarding the 'safety' of the washer I received from Mercedes. I made a call to the parts Dept and asked the parts manager (who actually took the order and placed it for me) about this concern. He asked me to send him the picture that I posted here on the forum and that he would take it to the senior mechanic in the service dept. to get his take on it. He called me back to tell me that he didn't see anything out of the ordinary that would cause him to fear any safety issue. So, I feel better about that, but would still be interested hearing your theory [emoji846]
