Hi mercdan, Nice motor u got there looks in great nick. I've never used a claybar, is it a worthwhile effort? hi mate, i cant reccommend the clay bar enough, superb results and it transforms the paintwork, i always do it on any car i buy, i think bilthambers claybar is the best one on the market,,ive just used a meguirs one on the E class, seems a tad harder to use than bilthamber so i will go back to buying theirs in future

@mercdan68 - Also mate, if you get around to doing your new saloons headlights, let me know how easy it was. My Dad wants to shine his back up but didn't want to spend £22 on Halfords kit to do it! Getting a kit of eBay they are around £12 on there mate ...or you can use good 'ole T-Cut ...

5mm not 50mm Dan. A subtle drop and it will be spot on. Looks real nice on the Cades. Did you blunt the wifes razor shaving the calipers?

New cars. Who needs em.....

Ye 5mm I meant cheers Jeff! Tbh it was my neighbours idea to take a fraction of the calipers,, probably not the sort of thing to put on the Mercedes forum !!! Wife's razor?? No flymo!!

Looks much better with the cades on, a small drop will set them off nicely!

Just a few small bits done, fitted some nice clear wing indicator lenses,and carried on with the detailing, cleaned the inner wings up, boot shuts door shuts etc, the aim with this was just to get it looking near mint as there aren't many nice ones left, booked in just awaiting a space at the body shop to have both sides repainted, to get rid of the small parking marks and a mark on the rear bumper corner, car has been performing faultlessly, just like most old diesel mercs do, love the car and prefer it to my old xj8, getting around 50mpg from it

Nothing to update really, the old bus just goes about its business with ease,hopefully when the weather gets a bit better I will finally get the minor bits of bodywork done, but for now just enjoying the daily wafting about!

I was toying with the idea off selling this and buying the Hyundai xg30 for sale on here but.... Had a two hour cleaning session on it today and thought I just can't sell her, she's a lovely car and like sitting in an armchair whilst driving her,, tempted to go down the lowering route now, a promotion possibility at work means extra funds to play with, will see over the coming weeks

The old bus is going in this weekend to have the sides painted at last,been let down by two painters,so third time lucky I hope! This car has proved so reliable I just don't want to sell it ,so I may have to sell my mgf instead to make room for another jag xj this summer,just replaced the discs and pads on the E class,not many nice ones about and can't bear to part with it so I'm going to bring up to pristine condition

At last it's finally going in Tuesday to have the bodywork issues sorted, two body shop let downs later! Just seems some body people don't want to work on older stuff these days, been contemplating selling this but everytime I drive it I change my mind, great on fuel and quick old car for such a big old beast
