    This dirty daily was a ton of work as you will see while viewing the pictures. It took multiple passes and combinations to get it to its current condition. The paint condition is much improved of course but I wish some of the super deep scratches and clusters would have gotten a bit better. Lord knows I tried!

    Much better Andy!! It cracks me up. I think CDI on rear lift gate stands for Clean Diesel Injection....really??? Don'd get mad M.B. owners....just sayin. :) Very nice rides indeed. Great challenges refine who we are. We gain knowledge and get better at what we do!!
