Just for SLushYYY and Rockstar. my wdp 02 tl-s daily beater* and a few of my cls.

sooo here is the car when i bought it about a month ago



i only bought it bc it was really inexpensive and bc it was a super clean canvas

....and i got to put my other car in the garage

so then i did a few minor things to it.... and here it is now

again, this is my daily beater... nothing that i plan on putting into shows or anything

I think it's called water...don't quote me on that though haha. Sorry I couldn't resist because he clearly just washed his car before taking these pictures. If his tires are newer or very clean they'll look nice and black and wet from the water.

I could be wrong though.

Clean and simple TL Put some tips on the exhaust though and make sure they're aligned right, something looks off (probably just the pic).

Check out the Wash and Wax section for Tuff and Shine. Best product I've ever used to keep my tires all shiny and it lasts a long time.

hmm well there is no "if". i definitely own both cars. the cls especially... as you can see my license plate is my last name.

i like to keep my cars super clean...

and it gets half as dirty if you drive it half as much....

in 5 to 10 yrs, ill have 2 half decent cars that are clean w/ low miles on both

Originally Posted by xtremex626

well i just washed it... and sprayed the tires while they were just a tad bit wet w/ mequires squirt spray foam stuff

also helps that i dont have bobo tires...

you can spray bobo tires w/ the best tire shine on the market and theyll still look like poop ya know

TL looks fly. Benz looks murderous. I understand why you'd want a UA5 *and* a CLS... The UA5 is one fine sedan.

Don't waste your time getting tips! Just get the Tsudo Axle-Back exhaust and close the book on mods. Tips are for people who can't afford a Mercedes Benz!

http://www.speed-element.com/servlet...muffler/Detail

Look how good the Tsudo looks on a white TL.

tsudo's are hands down one of the nicest and inexpensive exhausts for our cars. add around $40 more, and you can have an even deeper exhaust when you do the midmuffler delete. plus, that oem rear lip will sit FLUSH with tsudo's and i have pictures to prove

not to be mean, but that sounds like a very close minded comment.

i would like to think dguzman is a humble guy, and humble people arent about flashy things all the time. in my line of work, i see millionaires who have beater cars all the time. and the TL is definitely not a beater, its a mid sized luxury car.



btw, i love your light green tint. i would do mine like that now, but it cost too much to retint.

tnx!

flash is cool... sometimes *... def not all the time

the TL is a great looking car that is great to drive when i dont like to drive my other car.

tnx on the compliment on the green tint. it's def not everyones favorite flavor, but i sure like it.

if you are in va, i have a shop that will strip your old tint, and retint for pretty cheap. its not as expensive as most people think to strip tint. i think its only $55 from the tint shop that i use.

Mike. now that you have the tl looking perfectly oem i think its time u put the cls in the garage for a good detail job. a small buff and polish will work wonders on the mercedes paint. make the fleck show.

great cars and i totally understand the whole daily driver idealism
