Smile C32 Cleaning and polishing tips needed!

I know this topic has been brought up before, but I need some advice on cleaning and caring for my baby. First of all, the interior-Maguiar's leather conditioner O.K.? Armor all on the dash? As far as the exterior, Maguiar's paint cleaner, wax, and in-between-washings spray cleaner? How are Zymol products? Anyone use a California Car duster with any success? I've heard that Eagle One Never Dull works great on the AMG chrome tipped exhaust pipes.

Thanks a lot!

stay away from amor all

not good product. causes problems long term. Meguiars is good stuff. they make good products all around infact, I think mercedes products are actually made by meguiars. You may want to look at Meguiars Intensive Protection rather than Armor all. There are lots of good products and if you use any of them often enough, they will all be effective.

Thanks, vinman. I will avoid armor all. You're right, M-B does carry meguiar's products. I have some, and I'm also getting some wax from Pinnacle.

Autopia.org is a wonderful site.

In our detailing forum, we have several autopian experts from that site, but benefit from the fact that we can give you Mercedes specific information as well.
