2019 GLA 250 - I am in purgatory right now...
21K and still looking good!!
Some eye candy for you - it's COLD out, but I had to get my washing in this week.
I ordered some P21 rim jel and some winterfit for the windshield washer, but I didn't come in yet
I tried some mothers chrome polish on the exhaust tip, but they are not doing too well. I might have to replace? What are you guys doing?
Enjoy!

Nice pics! Wish I could get mine that clean this time of year...
Have you used that rim gel before? Results? I've been trying some wheel wax I got at the dealership. Seems to work pretty well, but washes off too easily at the car wash.

Humm,
Never had aftermarket wheels, maybe you have me confused with someone else? My car is bone stock
If the tips are SS then maybe I can get more agressive with them? It seems like there is stuff stuck over them, rought to the touch.
I never got the "B" service yet. Although my milage is there, It's still under a year and the service rep quoted me $400 and change. I had an oil change at 9K and again at 18K - at the next oil change (I assume inspection too) I'll have them do the B service. Otherwise nothing major
I haven't used the Jel yet, I just got it last night so I'll check it out this weekend. I also got the windshild washer booster, so I am looking forward to checking that out too. I already had to change my centercaps out once - I guess one of the car washes I went too used something they shouldn't have. So I'm pretty carful about it now. You should take care with what you use there.
Thanks for the links. I also got a clay bar this week and hopefully I can get some washing and waxing going on this weekend!!
