    Mercedes-Benz CLS450

    A beautiful detailing job on my all time favorite car. Here is a picture of my 2017 CLS550 with the monster V8 twin turbo. I have enjoyed every second with it.

    Video: SONAX Spray and Seal easy spray-on sealant review!

    Nice video and I agree with all that was said. A couple months ago there was a similar thread here and I said this: "What an idiot I am! Yesterday I tried Sonax S+S and did it all wrong. I read the instructions, saw the video and read this thread and still did it wrong. I washed my car as...

    Your Favorite Wash and Wax

    I like Chemical Guys Extreme Body Wash + Wax. Smells good, foams easily and maintains a good foam throughout the wash. This is not meant to take the place of a spray wax but does a nice job of cleaning while leaving a nice little gloss to the car. I have even used it in a foam gun with good...

    Cls amg 2014...

    I think the CLS sport coup (four door coup) looks better in white because it is so low and sweeping. Mine is a 2017 and when I saw several of them the "Diamond" White always stood out as more elegant. If you want a sport look or a color that is very rare on this car, I suppose Red may be the...

    Review: SONAX Spray + Seal Review by Mike Phillips

    Re: SONAX Spray + Seal Review by Mike Phillips What an idiot I am! Yesterday I tried Sonax S+S and did it all wrong. I read the instructions, saw the video and read this thread and still did it wrong. I washed my car as usual and rinsed off. Before drying I sprayed on S+S in small areas...

    Disappointed with collinite 845. All hazy! Any advice?

    845 haze caused by one of (or combination of) temp./type of coating and condition of paint/heavy application. Only way to avoid problems with all three is to place bottle of wax in sun or hot water to create a liquid, almost spray wax consistency. Then place wax in mister bottle, not spray...

    Polish Angel

    Terrific collection, Funnyfarm. That shelf resembles the diamond section at Tiffany's. Probably just as expensive too!!

    Polish Angel is now at Autogeek!

    About a year and a half ago I bought a new 2017 CLS550 (love this beast btw!). I figured I would spend a few extra bucks and get a top of the line product to protect the beautiful Mercedes paint option called, "Diamond White". I ordered the PA white wax "Carnaubaflockencreme - Snow White". I...

    Now that I have found a good paste wax, what kinda detailer

    I'm a pollen expert thanks to nearly 25 years living in the country in East Texas. If that is one of your main concerns I can recommend two products which have served me very well over the years: Duragloss Fast Clean and Shine and Poorboys Spray and Wipe. There are others of course but these...

    Americas Top 10 Detailers?

    Excellent! I totally agree. Things like this should help make you the best detailer in the world, although all these favorable personal characteristics won't even get you to first base if you want to be President.

    Polish Angel

    Polish Angel products, at least the two I have used, work very well and are easy to apply. It is hard to justify the price as I get good results from a number of much less expensive products but then again, I have a very expensive car so it is all relative. My car is in "Diamond White", one of...

    2017 CLS 63s AMG Pearl White Tri Coat gets pampered! Long Post

    What a super job! I'm jealous!! I have a 2017 CLS550, also in Diamond White and I can't get it to look quite as good as you did on your friend's car. Although the 550 is not quite up to the hp/torque of the AMG model, it is still a beast with over 400hp/450 ft.lbs. torque. I've got it going...

    Spray Wax Help Please.

    Since you are a die hard C845 user and are looking for a "topper" or "booster" spray wax to use over it, why not use the very best topper you can over C845 instead of experimenting with these other spray waxes that may or may not be compatible with this wax. What might that be you say? Well...

    Collinite 845

    Before applying any lsp I do the following: 1. Wash car with CGs Clear Citrus at the stripping ratio. Lately, however, I have used an even more powerful soap - Meguiar's Wash Plus and I like it a lot. 2. Apply P21s Paintwork Cleanser. This is a great chemical cleaner and should be used instead...
