08' C300
New Owner

Purchased a 2010 ML350 4MATIC CPO over the weekend. The car has Premium I, 19" wheels and the rear entertainment package as options.

I will be selling my BMW 2007 335 Coupe soon for various reasons and end up with the ML and my wife's current 2008 C300. We are turning into a Benz family.

This is what the car looked like (from my phone camera) after an 8 hour detail job. I put 2 layers of Zaino Z-2, 1 layer of Z-6 and Z-8 to finish it off.



I don't have plans to make any changes on the car yet, but I will definitely try to contribute to the forum if I can come up with any DIYs.

My first frustration with the car was related to a noise coming from under the seat every time I braked or accelerated. It sounded like rolling dice on plastic and drove me and my wife nuts until we figured it out yesterday. There was something in the plastic vent that's under the driver seat, but it was not visible. I taped the other 2 vents and stuck the vacuum cleaner in the third one. Guess what, it was a 4" long pencil and a piece of candy, gifts to us from the previous owner.
