You made me remember that painful incident...
Whoever did it shall burn in hell!
We all know there are thousands of car care products out there and it is hard to choose which is best for your car's pait. so i thought it would be good to see what you all use to keep your mercedes paint like new.

When it comes to exterior. I usually wax it either with Meguiar's NXT Quick Wax or NXT regular wax about every month. I clay it with Zaino Bros. clay bar about every 6 months and use about two coats of wax.

Only if you have pollution/pollen/gunk sticking to your car. The best way to find out is by running your finger along the paint. If it's smooth as glass, you're good to go. If it's rough like sandpaper, clay would do it some good.Originally posted by benzonline

It's not an every-wash type of product.

search. think. do. post.
To wash I use Meguiars Gold class car wash shampoo/conditioner, as far as wax goes I use either Meguiars NXT Tech wax, or Meguiars Gold class. After a harsh winter in the spring time I use a 3 step Meguiars system.
I use mystique from mark V to remove oxidation and clean/prep the paint, then I use either mothers non cleaner wax or zymol. as for perrenial protection, again I start off with mystique(best damn polish/compound on the planet!), then I do a good coat of glare paint sealant(best damn sealant on the planet!), and then I do a good coat of wax. when I say good coat I mean I really work it in with a polisher.
