[diesel_mercedes] She's Happy !

 


I took SWMBO up to my house this afternoon to get her 240D , she's thrilled at the various repairs to central locking and the new Lloyd mats etc......

She hasn't yet noticed it no longer drips oil , I'm keenly aware the air filter isn't wobbling about on the intake manifold , held mostly by bungie cords....

Hopefully Tom will lend a hand and we'll get the turbo changed out on my Coupe Saturday .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Is that a new paint job? !! Red Max Pro Update

 



Hi Jim,

My paint still looks great. I have reapplied the top wax a couple of times since the original work. Always after a good hand wash.

It looks like a reapplication of one coat about once a month will keep it looking great. Keep in mind that after you wash the car, the reapplication won't take 5 minutes.

Sorry about the picture guys, just have not taken the time. Maybe this weekend for the car new paint job and the dash cover replacement.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Is that a new paint job? !! Red Max Pro Update

 

I am thinking of doing this on one of my cars, not an MB, tho. I have seen the floor polishing done, with the occasional touch up using a spray bottle and burnisher. the effect is great. Often wondered if it would work on natural stone that has lost its shine.

This video explains how they meant the finishes to be used:

Maybe we can use some of these - the stripper, if we think there is wax left on the car, clean it thoroughly, and then use the other three steps.

Another testimonial:  Home Depot (a big box house and garden center) carries Zep products.  Under their listing  for ZEP Wet look finish, a customer gives instructions for refinishing his RV:

<http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100619257/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=zep&storeId=10051#.UD7pmCKN6So>

In case the URL doesn't work, here is a copy:

This sealant in conjunction with Barkeeper's Friend and TSP (all available at Home Depot) has transformed our RV's dull and oxidized bodywork into a gleaming and smooth finish. You'll need:-
-Zep Wet Look Floor finish
-Bar Keeper's Friend (powdered)
-TSP (Trisodium Phosphate, powdered)
-Microfiber rags (white or laundered)
-Latex gloves
The secret as always is in the preparation, and we are really thrilled with the result. Several of our RVer friends recommended the process using this product, and we give it 10/10. See the pic for the shine - this previously had the look and feel of chalk.

Hey Chip,

Can you give us another update on how it's holding up? Have you had to do any touch-ups or anything on it to keep it shining?

Jim
