it is nice, but it's hard for me to believe a 200, has enough power to move the nearly 4000lbs car.. is that the "entry level" W211?

The guy needs to go easy on the armor-all on the tires!

what’s "armor-all"? Is it some tire gel? Also don’t forget the cars based in the UK, and petrol is very expensive, alot of people simply can’t afford to run huge engines. Petrol have risen to over £1/per litre mark recently ($1.81 per litre)

I understand the fuel issue, but the 200 seems like a Honda Civic engine in a 3800+ lb car..

anyway.. yes, Armor All is a brand name of (one of a variety) of wheel gel.. I like to use VERY minimal amount to give that new tire look.. but no cake it on like this guy did! That just all winds up on your wheel well, and rocker panels of the car!

Armor All used to have very bad chemicals in it that would eat through your tires. I don't know if they still do, but since then, I've avoided them like the plauge.

An Armor-All product hasn't touch on of my cars in over 10 years for that reason! I think you misunderstood my post.. I use a shine product, but it's from Mothers and I use it VERY sparingly. I never use anything on the inside of my car other than the occasional Swiffer and bottled air.. minor spills are dealt with using water and a lint free towel.

Funny...... I've been using armor-all for years (tire's only) with no problems at all..... If its eating away at your tires, perhaps your not wearing them out fast enough...

Like I said, they must've changed their chemical properties by now.

They did, they took the silicone out I believe... but I still don't use it. I just went "in another direction"

I don't think it's COMAND but it's not the same as the US 2003 version

It's Audio 20 which is standard on most cars around the world.
