It looks awesome and it definitely seems to do the job but again I haven't used it myself. They did have a black MB SLS getting it done when I went last... that car.....

I'm thinking this has something to do with the cam sensor or something. I've read new ecu is often the fix.

Why now!?

Any news on this?

I would recommend CQuartz finest since you have a dark colored car. If you're getting scratches while washing, make sure you do the double bucket method and use a different microfiber for the top half and bottom half of your car. Drying wise, as @Yruyur taught me drying towel should be used in a dabbing manner

Do you replace the rinse water once it starts showing light grey? Grit guards?

I will be taking a closer look at the MAF sensor when I get home. I have had the intake on the car for several 100 miles so I'm thinking it may have been a conditional thing last night with lower temps. In any case I'll know more when I investigate myself tonight.

Has anyone tried changing the color of the top bolsters I guess I would call them on the seats? That red really drives me nuts with the color of the car. I want them black.
