Car Care: How to keep it shiny and clean - 05-11-2007, 08:15 AM

This was an article featured in one of my Mercedes Enthusiast magazines about a W123 200 owner who has won the Concours D'Elegance with his spot clean Mercedes. There are some interesting tips from the owner on how to make your car (not just a Mercedes) look like new.

I'm sure that my gf, my father and all my friends would do it before you? I don't know why but all people think it's dirty... Strange thing

PS. I had it washed yesterday. Next wash is programmed for 11 November

Thanks for that. I've tried lots of thing when it comes to cleaning the car, for example using toothpaste! But, I have never heard of using shoe polish on the tyres... interesting!

Anyone here use Zaino to polish your cars? They are really good, gives a mirror finish.
