Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : OT
I read all the postings in this group, as I have for years - I find the content informative yet also entertaining.
Rarely have I posed a question and even less have I been able to offer sound advise (my apologies b/c I wish I was handier with my 240D).
But this made me laugh out loud. After a long (stressful) day, it was exactly what I needed.
Thanks,
Chris

I then started the car using the key to the pickup, & Max stood outside the car guiding me, the brakes did not work so well, so I crashed into a car and into a big lump of machinery, the whole back of the car fell off, I went to complain about the brakes, then Max and I scoured the place but could not find the Mercedes anywhere. Then I woke up.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Is that a new paint job? !! Red Max Pro Update
Tested on my 85 Xplorer 228, its off white with a brown stipes. I was hoping for the brown stipes to really pop, it looked better but no pop, the fiber glass roof, off white, looks great though.
I then moved on to the roof of the Benz, worst part. Excellent results, from 5 feet or futher away, up close, you can see the flaws of the original paint. At 10 feet, it does look like new paint.
I posted a couple pics, the roof looked worse than the trunk lid, so you can get an idea of how well it works.
I will do a good before and after of the trunk, while waiting, here are a couple picutres.

I have only used, maybe a pint of the gallon so far, so this stuff will go a long way.
Happy floor waxing,
Steve
