I spent entirely too long cleaning, porter cabling, etc today and I'm beat, but despite being 8 years old and sitting outside for 5 years of that time, the car turned out pretty well.

took a few pics.

thanks all!

1737, I use a product developed by a local place for semi-aniline leather like the designo cars. the place is called the leather institute.

I also use Zaino Z10 on the dash and other leather parts that receive less contact.

A Mercedes obviously!
Looking very nice!

Is it me or does your front license plate look a touch crooked?

it probably is. the plate surround just broke too, so that makes it look a touch off.
