2003 S500 (A MUST Read)

You got some mad skills Richy!! An informative write up as usual. Well done!
 
Great stuff Richy. Stunning as always. You know how I love DG and looks like you hit a home run with it.
 
Porsche Pilot, John, Dad and Pat, thanks for the kind words gentlemen!!

Just saw this thread when you linked from a wheel-cleaning thread. Dunno how I missed it first time around.

A few words about cleaning under the hood...don't you just hate the entire engine compartment looking like new and the radiator fins still look like crap? CD2 (if you can find it) makes 'em look new and lasts quite a while. Armor All Tire Foam, while pretty much worthless on tires, IMO, is great for the pads on the under side of the hood. Leaves 'em looking like new and they stay that way for a good long time with nothing more than a damp MF wipe. Stole that little tip from Bill Luster!

Nice job on the Benz. Nice to have a car for an extended period so you don't have to work your butt off.

Awesome work! How long did you quote the job would take?

To be honest, I can't remember, but I usually quote in the area of 12-16 hours on jobs like this or worse. I don't recall how many hours I had into this one.

Thanks. I normally use DG 501 on wood. This time I mixed it 50/50 with a new DG beta sealant I am trying out. It would be roughly equivalent to mixing 501 with 105 at 1:1.
