It looks easy to apply. Once the car is prepped. I can buy a bottle for £80

Spent the day removing iron fallout, claying, sealing and lsp-ing. Will need a single stage machine polish and ceramic, but that can wait a while!

I've got the same wheels but found a hack for cleaning the wheels easily and fast. Baby wipes. Yep, baby wipes followed by a towel and they look brand new. No soap, no water, no problem.

Ohh that looks so gorgeous. I have to admit the black is so stunning on an SL. I have had a number of black cars and every time I get one I say never again! And then I do it again. I just don’t have the patience or dedication to keep them clean. But when it is, nothing beats black.
