Absolutely outstanding! Great job I love the CLS in the background. Which one do you prefer driving?

I can't wait for it to quit raining here so that I can wash the Paint off of mine and give you a run for it.

Yours Does Great Justice. Awesome!

Looks amazing. I love the second picture of the front wheel arch where you can really see the Diamond effect in the paint. There is a foot of snow on the ground in NJ from the blizzard earlier this week and my cars are covered in salt residue so I'm very jealous of that nice weather! Are you in California?

S-class
Looks like someone loves white cars too! I can't wait till it's spring time here and all the snow is gone. Car looks fresh btw.

Absolutely beautiful car- great job on the detailing. The Key to the Cure edition is still my favorite S-class, not just because of the awesome color scheme, but also because it incorporated the 20 inch wheels on the S550 before they were available as the Sport Package plus one beginning in 2010. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all for the compliments, I really enjoy driving the S class. My BMW is white too, but not metallic paint. The CLS is a lease, thus making it the "beater" car, love them all but the S class is most definitely special. I am in Florida for those who asked.

Here is a photo shoot of the 3, I did last year for those who have not seen it.

What products did you use to detail the S? I'm curious because I'm into detailing myself and I read several different detailing forums. Here is a thread I started a few months ago with lots of pictures and a writeup for a detail on my E:

Awesoe. Lovve Diamond White!

The CLS is Arctic White, yes? Nice to see the two together, Diamond certainly has a more "off/pearl" white look, while Arctic is the brighter, more "White" of the two.

Up close, and in person, Diamond White looks even more brilliant than in photo's, I can attest to that!

I used the full range of Griots Garage products, this was the 2nd car I have detailed. I like the ease of Griots products but in the future I most likely will switch to more professional pads/polish/wax vs Griots consumer focused products.

The CLS is actually Diamond White too!, we had a 2006 CLS in the past that was Arctic white. Both are great colors, the Diamond is very unique and has that pop.
