thanks for looking.
 
Nicely done. Does this lady really want a Benz, she sure doesn't like to take care of it. Maybe a mini van would be more to her needs with the grand kids that like to beat up her ride so bad.:D
 
it is a situation where they have more money than they know what to do with.
 
i get frustrated with ppl who dont take care of their cars and expect miracles every time i wash it
 
no polishing, paint was already swirl free, only a few scratches, and at this time have nothing that would budge the rock hard clear on that car. She was more worried about the interior, which was more than she expected!
 
Hey killerflake there are alot of areas around here where these people have these really nice cars and NEVER take care of them! Ive seen BMWs where the rims were solid black from brake dust! I know that BMW s do that anyhow but you can tell they never take care of it. It is sad to see these people who have so much money that they buy a 100,000 dollar car and treat it like a beater!
 
Looking good Matt. Did a jag that was similiar. Will give woolite a go. What dilution you using for leather?

G
 
I used it 8:1, and made sure and wiped it a few times with just a damp MF.
 
it is 8 parts water, to one part Woolite. Same on steering wheel, if too grungy for that, APC 10:1 has worked well.
