E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
Been meaning to do this for months...

and now it's time to sell it. I have really enjoyed this one, and just want to get another one, maybe a 55 this time. Good board and nice stuff here!

When I saw that I immediately went out to the garage to see if the dealer had put on a sticker on the window or there was something else there. Well I could not see anything. Because of the sun lighting and tint film, I think there is some kind of sensor in the glass and I happened to catch it in my images. Perhaps the sensor is related to the climate control in some way?

This image is a blend of three exposures to capture the dynamic range of the scene and whether that had anything to do with it I don't know.

Here is a shot taken before the film was applied and there no sign of that circle. This was a single exposure shot.

I believe it is the circular vent on the front dashboard

How do you keep your car so clean with all the dust! I owned a 2005 SL500 in Obsidian Black and keeping it clean drove me nutz.

Get a California Duster type of product. I dust my car every couple of days. I used to have a much darker color on my previous vehicle, and dusting it made a huge difference.

As suggested by Chris Brown I use a California Duster on a regular basis. Dust here is not as bad as it used to be with all the greenery.
