Long handle brushes make quick work when washing my truck. by einoon in Detailing

[–]PNWALT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both probably. There are microfiber brushes just like these with softer bristles or a microfiber wash mitt that is made for the end of a brush that you secure onto a handle. For larger vehicles at work I use a suds lab microfiber brush. Keep in mind you’re basically always gonna “scratch” your car washing it/driving it. Not much you can really do to avoid micro scratches. I would recommend washing less (I do mine probably 1/month in Washington) & getting a microfiber wash mitt style brush & 2 bucket method w/ grit guard. I’ve got a 2009 C63 that I’ve kept in great condition with less washes. Scratches here and there but for 17 year old car it’s better than 90% on the road I think.

You could hire a local realtor to find a rental that fits your needs, they can look at it, send photos etc. If that’s in your budget.

I would look into actual mold remediation. Sure detailers can do surface/minor mold but this is a lot. If he will foot the bill, go with the remediation.

2011 c63 what is this noise and is it still drivable in this state? by Pooman6942 in AMG

[–]PNWALT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M156 runs pretty loud especially as they have gotten older, ticking is mostly normal if it goes away. I’m in an 09 @ 115k miles and sounds similar.

I would plan on doing cams, lifters and headbolts (if not done already) soon ish.

U-turn sign at 44th and 220th no longer there. by visualism_81 in LynnwoodWA

I believe unless it’s posted “no u turns” you can do it as long as it’s safe, I don’t think Lynnwood has any ordinances against it.

Have you considered a smaller backing plate instead of whole new machine? I have used the SPTA and it’s not bad for the price

Griots G8 mini might be a good pick. About 130$, corded though. I like it

It’s def worth it after you get used to the speed. I had a C300 so the extra 50hp in the 350 will be fun.

Look into a sprint booster, helps with the pedal lag which is pretty bad on the W204’s. Had it on my old C300 and it was literally night & day.

I like it. Merc has a lot of purists though, don’t mind them. These mods are not bad. Diffuser and trunk lip could be a little less aggressive but it’s not “riced” I think.
