Talking WooHoo...Free Detailing is GOOD!!

most of you probably know that some dealership will ask if you got those MB north america survey about the dealer service or not. Some dealership will give you different freebies. The first survey I turned in, I make'em put back the v6 kompressor badge that I've originally took off. This time I have'em detailed my car today.

gotta love the freebies

i will let you guys in on a lil secret that i found on another board.

Harley Davidson stores (motorbike stores) sell the S100 wax for like 15.00 bucks.. it's worth the buy.. they can only be found at this stores though.. the other alternative product (same thing, different name) is called S21, but you will pay 10.00 more just for the name.

can't beat a free deal.. but nothing more satisfying then working on your own car and then seeing the final product and being like:

S100 is absolutely great. Easy to wipe on and off too. The wet shine look is freaking gorgeous, especially on a black car!!!

GET SOME!

Putting on some GEPC prior to the S100 is excellent too. The GEPC will clean your paint a bit and get rid off some nasties and add extra gloss.

I'm kinda confused... so Frank, what you did is that after you fill in the survey from MB, you turned it in to the particular dealer instead of mailing it... is that correct?
Maybe I can try it in my dealer
