    is that the yellow Uber MF towel from here: http://www.detailersdomain.com/Uber-All-Purpose-Microfiber-Towels_p_182.html

    nice work, you used the same combination of D300 and PO106FA on this car as the other benz you've just posted.

    although i'm not a fan of the wheel design, they are Vossen wheels and i think that equates to $...lol...

    we also used the surbuf pad and m105 on this one as well.

    yup those are the uber all purpose towels.

    Awesome job on correcting the CPO, definitely thought Mercedes would do a bit better job before making that car a CPO.
