Actually the paint actually looks better than I was antisapating it to be after I collected the car. The pictures I seem of the car made it look worse than what it was.

I do however would love to know what products to use on the AMG leather and dash, including all external surfaces. Some DIY links/help would go a long way to help save some $$ and learn the correct method/ process for keeping in tip top shape...

Thanks

For the inside I just use mothers stuff. I might be changing that, I did see a thread on not to use micro soft towels on MB leather its in the owners manual. It will fade it over time not sure how. Now for washing the car there is only one way to do the right way it might be a little extreme to some people.

3.

4.

Take the time to watch these very good info. He also has a how to for novices to machine polish

As far as dealing with the exterior finish, your E55 could have come with PPG Ceramiclear paint (you didn't mention the year). If so, do some exploration here...

Cliff notes: If you do have the Ceramiclear, be very conservative with abrasive polishing compounds on the paint!
