- I love the color and the philosophy of those old wooden panels of
the Mercedes cars.
After 30 years a lot of the glamour is fading away though.
As it was the case with the center wooden dashboard.
To buy a new one requires a fortune!!!
So...YEA...let`s restore the existing one!!
I`m sorry for the long video time but there are details that i couldn`t cut of!!
Step by step the zebrano wood is becoming alive again as new and ready to reinstalled into the car. - Авто та транспорт
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
You are welcome! 🙂👍
Very good work. I will follow this procedure. Thank you very much!!
Very kind of you Sir 🙂 I`m glad i could help you out!!🤠✌
I would use a polisher to give it better shining ✨ look
it's nice work.
unfortunately, i'm very clumsy when it comes to restoring with all these details. i have a 1987 Mercedes w124 that only needs this restoration to regain its glamour and elegance.
Thank you very much 🙂This is just a technique because i like to make things ``bulletproof``. I`m sure there are more easy and simple ways to restore the panel.Take good care of that W124. Those cars deserve to rule the streets for many years to come! 💪😉✌
Thank you for posting this. I will need to do it on my 190 e
I`m glad you like it! If you have any difficulties trhough the procedure feel free to ask me. I had great results with this approach which can be seen in this video ua-cam.com/video/_TdBwuzn2mU/v-deo.html 🙂✌
@@mdrc3288 Much appreciated , thank you.
Я на своём 190-м сошлифовал лаковое покрытие, покрыл морской,, красное дерево,, и нанёс в несколько слоёв 2х компонентный акриловые автомобильный лак.
Hi my friend. Dont do it with Razor Blade !!! That is how I destroyed few zebrano woods. Correct way is to use hot iron (setting Three *** stars) no steam. Then put iron on laquer to be removed, than heat laquer and just lift it when hot it will become very soft. Wood is not damaged I guarantee. Then proper way is sand wood with 320 paper and take care because Zebrano is thin, wood underneat is just cheap plywood. Of course blow off sanding dust with compressed air, wipe with soft cloth. Then use transparent color brown for wood (Beize in German), orginal it was polyester but liquid glass (epoxy) is better. Modern technology. Tape around switches is great idea to have edges proper 90 degrees like original. After drying of 72 hours polish it to full brightness :)
Hi there! 🙂 I appreciate your advice - feedback.😉👍 The only reason i did it with the razor blade was because the two parts have been already almost separated and i didn't have to use any force. 🤗 As you can see the slightest touch pops up the material with ease 😀🙂👌
very good video
Thank you very much! 🙂👍
Around minute 18" the pianno was so loud we can nearly listen the narrative. Appart from that it`s a nice learning video.
Yes you are right.The music is louder then the voice at this point.I`m glad you like it though!!😊🙂
hi MD RC. I`m a 1993 w201 owner, so everyone that spends it`s time showing videos on how to "babysitting" these beauties deserves my attention and support.
Best wishes from Portugal
@@thunderbolt513 Thank you very much!! You are welcome my friend!! Cheers!!😀🍻
Hi my friend! I have W124 and i have Zebrano Wood on the doors, but that‘s aftermarket and sticked and i would like to restore it. But it‘s so slim and i am afraid maybe i will damage it. Can you help me and do you have any advice for me?
Well...i wouldn't recommend the material and the technic i'm using in this video for a door panel because it`s curvy. I can only recommend it for flat surfaces like shown .You better ask a local paint shop for advice about this so you can use a more suitable material for curved surfaces.
Hey MD RC. Is it possible to tell us what products u used to "colour" the wood (wood stamp poliuretane??, and the varnish after If possible, as i don`t know if I will find the same brand here in france, with the chemical specifications.
👍. I think I`ll soon be neeidng to take care of my mercedes Zebrano dashboard. Although it`s yet in better shape than the model u showed, but soo it will be needing some intervention.
Of course,no problem!🙂I used the SILICON from BERLING which is a high quality polyurethane wood stain varnish. After it dried out i added a two substance resin called LIQUID GLASS. It is not necessary to use the exact same products.It has only to be wood stain polyurethane and liquid glass after.😉 I hope to helped you out and wish you a great result with your car 🤞😀🍀If you still have any questions feel free to ask. I will gladly answer!🙂👍
Hey, so what kind of products did you use in France, i am interested aswell. i dont want to use the wrong wood product and change it clair color. After I guess it is 2 layers of epoxy which are used ?
Could have sand and polish the liquid glass afterwards, would have make a greater finish
That`s true but i was afraid to damage the liquid glass because it needs a specific treatment. Do you have any suggestions,knowledge or video to enlighten this subject ?

please make an video how to paint the plastic intereur parts of de w201 and make a video about repearing the dachbord cracks
Well...painting plastics of a Mercedes interior is not a good idea. They have mostly soft high quality plastics and the result will look very poor or even destuctive. What ever you do on on a Mercedes dashboard for cracks ,it will look like a scar.There is nothing to much the material of the dashboard.It is better to order a blanket and protect the rest so no more cracks appiar.🙂😉✌
@@mdrc3288 thank you for your swift reply i ment the hard plastic parts like de plastic covers that are likated where the front seatbelds sit
@@peterjanvanbijnen226 I`m sorry but i have no solution for this one either ...🤗
it needs to be sanded flat and even then polished!!!
That might be true but i didn`t want to take any risk and damage the material.🙂It is still looking good and is a big improvment compared to its previous condition.🙂 I would like to learn more about the sanding and polishing.Do you have any learning video to suggest ? 🤔☺
