I raised up the third seat and scrubbed the charcoal mat in the back footwell, it too was dirty, I used an old toothbrush in all teh cervices nooks and crannies, them the bumpers bothered me so I polished them using 'Never - Dull' <magic> wadding, did the antenna mast too then oild it with "Zoom Spout" and not it goes up and down smoother than before and looks better too so I then polished the mirrors and of course the grille then I decided to hand wash the whole car, it really does look nice when it's all clean and tidy .
Some random guy stopped me before dawn and asked me if I'd restored it my self, it doesn't look anywhere near restored to me but folks keep asking about it so it must be getting there .
Maybe next year I can afford to get the bumpers re chromed .
Lastly I cleaned out the box I carry in the way back, it had been collecting this and that bit by bit and had three quarts of oil (one was leaking, gah) and SWMBO's collection of saved grocery bags , most of those went in the trash the better qulity once got carefully folded and re stored .
Removed the tiny boost pressure gauge, aired up the tires and it's nearly ready to show off at the three auto events I have to - morrow .
The Monthly Mercedes Club meeting is @ McDonald's on Foothill Blvd. in Tujunga, 5PM .
