Talking My 2005 clk500 just cleaned and waxed

Hi Everyone,

I spent last weekend cleaning and waxing my ride with Meguiars Gold Class past wax. I wanted to get my ride ready for the summer weather here in So Cal. I think it turned out good and I notice the dirt doesnt stick to it as much, so I will need to wash it less, wich is nice.

Regards

Wow! That looks really clean! I can see your reflection on the car! How do you like the Gold Class wax? Is is easy to remove after it dries?

Looks nice! Man I just washed/clayed/polished/waxed my car - took the entire weekend. I'm ready to pass out and I'm not even sure it was worth it for a silver car.

Thanks for the nice replies

Hey Guys,

I had mine clayed too the weekend before, to get off all the sticky crap the stays on your car. This wax job took the whole weekend, about eight hours total. and yah, my shoulder and arm where sore on Monday. I don't know how easily this wax will come off, I always add water to the pad as I apply the wax, and I noticed this Meguiar's Gold Class wax felt oily when I applied it, but when buffed off it leaves a really deep shine. I hope it last at least six months.

My other projects are new wheels and I have a slite shake at adle that bothers me, with several trips to the dealer already installed new spark pluges and injectors...but still there, very slite.

I love my clk500 and I want it to be perfect.

Regards

Paul
