What Have You Done To Your Benz Today?

I got this idea from a Ford F Series forum I am a member of.

After work, me and my little helper removed all the swirl marks from my interior wood trim and polished it till it looked like glass. What a difference! It got dark out, but I did one exterior door panel too. Will do the rest this weekend hopefully. I love the results.
Meguires #9 Swirl Remover 2.0 & Meguires #7 Show Car Glaze.

That picture against the car now that really shows the gloss!!! Great job!

Not sure if you clayed it but claying is a definite game changer.

Thanks! No I didn't clay the car. I am a big fan of Mothers clay bar with the Showtime spray. It's on my list...

Today after work, I had a friend of mine probe around the car while I was driving with an automotive stethoscope to pinpoint exactly where the wind noise/air leaks where coming from. I want the car as quiet as can be. Going to clean all the window and sunroof channels and condition all the rubber seals so they expand and seal better. See if that helps...

Ha! I have that album too. Great sounding production and performances. The poor Bee Gees got caught up in the anti disco craze but that's a great album.

I have a feeling that they were the reason for Bruce Jenner to want to cut off his ***** and hit that womanly high note.

The dash trim looks good and all, but the most intriguing thing about the post is that there's such a thing as a Ford F Series forum.

Oh yeah, the Ford F Series Pickup Truck Forum is especially busy during the winter snow plow season...(F250 and F350 especially as they are some of the best snow plow trucks out there) IMO

Tried to figure out quickly this morning why my driver side, seatbelt height adjustment is not working when I move the seat. Might have to remove the panel after work to see if it got disconnected. Any tips on this one would be great.

Today I looked at new headlights and tail lights for the Old Girl and after I woke up from the faint decided the price was too high for my girl. Expensive but boy do they look great.

I know from that other thread that you're a tall handsome Italian dude, but some stocky balding guy keeps appearing in the reflections in your paint! Car might need an exorcism.

Not sure I'm more envious of the clean car or the killer yard.
