Headlamp cleaner, Have you used this? It seems too favorable to be genuine.

Turtle Group - a reputable name

Under 10 pounds, no police involvement necessary.


I acquired my automobile, a new model, in 2016, with 24,000 miles on it.

Cleaned annually, often by MB.

I was cleaning bird droppings with damp kitchen paper and subsequently saw that the plastic had somewhat faded.

What is your opinion? Have you used it for the cost without the need of a polisher or similar tools?
I will attempt it, and if I get a score of at least 6 out of 10, I will proceed with our daughter's RCZ.

What attracted my attention was its dual functionality and user-friendliness.

Edit: I am uncertain about the status of the link from Halfords; I have included an image below in case it fails to function for you.

Indeed, it functioned on my son's 25-year-old Passat; nevertheless, I cannot ascertain its longevity.

Annually, indeed. 😂 Provoked amusement.
Is it also protected from the rain?

The vehicle would fit in the garage, but I would need to exit via the back hatch.


Contemplating the vehicle washes. It occurs more often than annually on average.

I have had it since its acquisition in 2016. During the first months, I bathed it monthly, and it remained clean both outside and inside. I had two Mercedes-Benz vehicles over many months, the prior being a C-Class model and the current one.
However, it was vandalized a second time, which suggests to me that vandals are drawn to cleaner vehicles; so, I stopped washing it and only had it cleaned via the MB service at the 12-month mark. I have hosed the underside many times over the last three years.

Since my departure from employment around 8.5 years ago, the average frequency of washes has been roughly once annually. The inside is vacuumed about every 16 months, if not less often. I maintain two sets of dustpans and brushes to clean the mats outside the vehicle. Typically, only Mrs. M and I occupy the car, and the seats are dusted and cleaned approximately every five to seven weeks. The dashboard and doors are wiped down every couple of weeks, while the interior of the windscreen is also attended to. I clean the exterior windows about four to five times annually and the interior windows twice a year.

The boot is very clean, since I periodically remove and shake off the carpet sheet every few months.

The vehicle has had little food consumption, we do not smoke, have no pets, and regard ourselves as quite clean.


I use home sprays that purport to eliminate odors in the car throughout the summer. When the vehicle is parked in the driveway and becomes heated, I leave the windows open for a few hours to maintain freshness.

I have applied leather polish to the seats about four times since acquiring the vehicle.

The rain does the majority of the cleansing.

I clean the outside of the wheel rims with a moist towel around four times annually.

Indeed, when MB serves the vehicle and it has been cleaned and positioned outside the main entrance on occasion (I did not use MB for the past service), I momentarily ponder if it is my automobile.


I will surely try the Turtle Wax shine product, and if it performs well, I will have the vehicle cleaned.

EDIT: I regret not having it washed, as it represents hard-earned money from both myself and Mrs. M. However, it serves to deter vandals. I employed the same strategy with my previous vehicles, as all of them were slightly above what the average person drives. In my opinion, clean or shiny cars attract undesirable attention.

In essence, it conveys, "It is my vehicle; I shall exercise my autonomy regarding its use." 😝

I have made a decision to acquire it, and I could also provide photographs of the before and after stages.
It is comparatively inexpensive for its value and, as significant, it is very user-friendly, which ultimately convinced me.


Occasionally, males still remark, "nice car." I sometimes park it while Mrs. M shops for a few goods at the local supermarket, positioning it along a route away from most other cars, similar to other Mercedes-Benz owners. On warmer days, some others comment on it, just as I do at times.
The most recent instance of a guy offering a compliment occurred in Eastbourne a few months prior. While on route to our hotel, the road was obstructed owing to construction. As I executed a three-point turn, I inquired whether it was legal to park behind the truck, to which he praised the automobile, greatly enhancing my day.

In my opinion, the private plate enhances its perceived value, making it visually striking.

This is just the second car I have owned (all previous vehicles were 12 to 18 months old at the time of purchase). Despite being almost 9 years old with 24,500 miles, it still seems impressive to me. I am inclined to switch to the new GLE; however, we never use the vehicle beyond local errands and sometimes transporting our grandchildren.


I will upload pictures in a few weeks; I am 99% positive I will proceed with the purchase and execution.
