Jacking up the CLS?
Where do you jack the car? are there any special adapters like on the 911s? I want to take off the wheels to clean the Calipers...
PS anybody know a good cleaner where you dont have to scrub the calipers?
Thanks

I just did this about a month ago and cleaned the entire wheelwell, caliper, components and behind the wheel. Basically just raise the car on a FLAT surface and do 1 wheel at a time as if you were changing a tire. You might want to keep an extra jack handy as a back up on your expensive car. The MB jack works very well, but just looks funny to me. Also, place a couple tires on their side and beneath your side skirts so that in case you have an emergency the car doesn't do a crash landing. Again, usually when you jack a car up it's to change the tire, but since you'll be working at your own pace, it's better to be careful and do things right.
