Ditto..... I once did an off-road trip that maxed out the consumption gauge of my Landcruiser (40L/100Km or about 7mpg) during a desert crossing (~1100 parallel sand-dunes).

Wife getting impatient....were picking the SL500 up this coming Monday the 9th.

Has anyone got any opinions on car detailers in Sussex / Surrey? My last car had a Gtechniq ceramic coating and it worked very well.

Managed to get a better discount in the end on a stock car with a manufacture date of October 2019 in Brilliant Blue. Grand Edit Premium with the driving assistant for £63k down from £94K, some 33%. Will still lose a chuck as its driven away though.

Mind you, with Coronavirus, they may become even more of a bargain......or it that car...owner...virus?

What bumped the price to 94K ? I'm finding them in the low 80s.

Not sure on detailers in your area but product wise I’d recommend Gyeon MOHS highly

Well done Oskar, please post some pics in various different poses (the car of course, not you) for us lesser persons to salivate over :D . I think all MB owners like to see an SL in all its glory whatever model we own
