I'm not a professional at this, just a car enthusiast who likes to keep my vehicles looking good. I recently purchased my latest toy, a 1989 MB 560SL and, after getting my boxes of supplies fro AG, I set out to change my newly-acquired, previously well cared for, prize from clean to sparkly. I...

Haven't tried a vast myriad of products, but I have found 303 to be very good.

No one looks forward to surgery, but they're doing some amazing things these days that can make a big difference in the quality of life. Once it's over, be sure to follow any rehab plan that's suggested. Thoughts and prayers!

Thank you everyone. All things considered, I think UTTG seems like a reasonable choice. I also appreciate the comment by Rayaz to try to get the trim as clean as possible. As I mentioned, except for those 2 body-side moldings on the front fenders, it's all good, but I'll look into the Optima...

I've always been a car guy and, over the years, I've owned a lot of different kind/styles of cars i.e.: new cars, classic cars, luxury cars, sports cars, muscle cars, convertibles/roadsters, coupes/sedans, etc., and I've always enjoyed detailing and generally caring for all of them. I know...

I Like the names of some of the Lexus colors: Obsidian (Black) Cerulean Blue Nebula Grey Ours is Starfire Pearl (White) That Starfire Pearl seems a lot fancier than the "Artic White" '89 MB 560SL we recently purchased.

Just joined AG myself after picking up a 1989 MB 560SL. Mine doesn't really need any restoration, just some spiffing up, but I've certainly received a lot of help and general information from the folks here. Good luck with your projects and I hope you find all that goes on here helpful too!

Welcome right back at you from the Mid-Hudson Valley!

20 years ago, when I first retired from my professional career in the "corporate world", and opened my own business, Yellow Pages advertising was the way to go. All of the similar business professionals were competing with bigger and bigger ads. The biggest players sometimes had a half or full...

I don't do detailing for a living. I just do the few cars and the Harleys that we have. So my mind probably doesn't wander as much as someone that's doing it regularly. Mainly, I enjoy listening to some old tunes while I'm concentrating on what I'm doing, and hoping I don't make a mistake by...

I'm currently detailing a recently purchased 1989 MB 560SL that's in excellent condition. Most of it is done, but I have a question about rubber trim. This car has real chrome bumpers with black rubber bumper strips running the width of the car front and back, and 2 small bumperetts on each...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I think I'll try the Lloyds clear mats first. In this case of 3-5,000 sunny day miles per year or less, worst case scenerio, if they don't fit properly or yellow over time, I'll just get rid of them. At least they're not too expensive for the 2 front seat mats...

I don't just enjoy detailing cars, I enjoy owning and driving them i.e.: Sports cars, luxury cars, collectible cars, trucks. Most recently purchased a 1989 Mercedes Benz 560sl. It's what led me here. Enjoy the Harleys. Although I don't ride as often as I once did, we've been in almost every...

Thank you all for the welcome. I look forward to continuing to learn about all the products and information that you're all so ready and willing to share. Thanks!

Recently purchased a 1989 Mercedes 560SL. It's been well cared for, is in very nice shape both mechanically and cosmetically, has only 26,000 miles, and it's what led me to find AG while searching for different supplies to spiff it up properly. I've already done the Leatherique thing, cleaned &...

I'm new here and not an expert on any of this, but I've read elsewhere on this site, just as has been suggested here already, that liquid laundry detergent in the washer works fine. I have been washing my recently purchased MF towels that way over the past week or so without a problem. The only...

Looks just like the brush the was included in my recently purchased Leatherique Kit. The Leatherique worked fine, but didn't use the brush as I thought it appeared a bit too harsh! Received the mentioned horse hair brush in the RaggTopp kit also recently purchased. I'd be a lot more...

I do have a bunch of pics from the listing that led me to CT where I found the car, but I'm neither technically savvy enough to post them, nor do I have the means to take new ones for posting. I D/C'd the cell because people kept calling, and I never really felt the need to get a digital camera...

I’ve been a “Car Guy” since I was a youngster rolling toy cars around on the floor My Grandmother started giving me Dinky cars in the early 50’s. That developed into a collection that was followed up by a collection of Matchbox cars and, when I was old enough, I began building my own plastic...
