I’m thankful for my wife of 18 years and my twin daughters. Nearly 3 years ago they were born, addicted to heroin. We became their foster parents at 9 days old and visited them at the NICU every day until day 18 when they went home with us. In March we officially adopted them and in April bought our first home. I quit using drugs about 2 weeks before they were born and quit smoking cigarettes a year later. I’ll be 3 years sober December 12. Without them I know I would not maintain sobriety or even have quit smoking
Thankful to have found this channel and I'm relatively healthy
Thankful for everything my God has give me
The one thing I'm thankful for is. I met a beautiful girl in highschool we fell in love instantly but due to circumstances beyond my control I had to leave town for 2 years and she had moved on by then. That was 50 years ago and in August this year I left a comment on the video of our song save it for me by the four seasons. She saw it and put out an APB online to find me. An old friend of mine saw it and gave her my phone number. She called me we met for the first time in 50 years and plan to marry next year. That's what I'm thankful for
wow what a story much love!!
Wow.
❤❤❤
Wow man. Incredible story. Bless you guys
@@minerlover12 thank you
Wish u guys do some oil change, filters, some kind of normal service before starting the engines sitting for so long, you can only destroy the engines this way. Cheers
I have to say, the classic Mercedes cars you guys are my favorite. Love the deep red color of this one that came out after you polished it. Amazing!
Love your channel!
Fun facts (in my grand-father case).. When such classic cars were available in Europe because of building quality (these engines are long lasting very reliable with little maintenance) but for its purchasing price it was considered a high end top class limousine compared to other cars back then and most of the owners who afford them were like from the upper class : doctors, executive directors, business-owners, lawyers, members of the parliament & diplomats.. etc Really glad you guys decided to save this "swallow tail" - Mercedes (called like that because of longer extensions forked tails over rear lights)..
We’ll do them as long as we can find them!
Eure Videos zu gucken ist für mich so beruhigend und einfach geil. Das vorher und nacher zu sehen einfach hammer. Liebe Grüße und macht weiter so🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Nice video guys but you shouldn't try to start the engine before changing filters, all the old gas in the tank and the oil.
I’m thankful to come home everyday and have my dog waiting to greet me. This really turns my day around
The model number on MB is numbered based on the engine. 230=2.3 liter......that car is in really good shape! You guys did an excellent job!
SOS pads was exactly what I used on Whitewalls 60 years ago until I discovered Wesley's Bleach White with a brass bristled brush. Today it's called Black Magic Tire Cleaner. I still use it at 77.
I suspect the "leather" is actually MB-tex which is a Mercedes_Benz vinyl product that will outlast Cher. The rear design of these models was unfortunate with a somewhat Rambler vibe.
ALSO, I never used a high pressure washer either, just wet it and gently wash it with microfiber wash mitts. Hold the spray nozzle
farther away from the car or the paint will come off. be carefullllll!
Great job gentlemen! Another sweet story. Getting the vehicles running is like the cherry on top! Someday I'll make a trip to check out what you guys do if you'll have me.
It is nice to see you all detail a nice barn find and not another rusty parts car.
Popular cars here in Europe. Most were the 4 cyl Diesel versions. Bomb-proof but sluggish. These cars were designed without an accountant at the table. No bean counters. Only after the the cars were built, a pricetag was put on them. That's why a lot survive in great condition The parts supply is great.
Just saw a Mercedes yesterday on the road, probably a late 60s . A diesel that looked looked like the owner was about at the end of a full restoration. Beautiful, It made my day.😀✌️
The leather you mentioned at the 14 minute mark is MB-Tex. A highly durable vinyl offered on Mercedes models even today! I had these mb-Tex seats in multiple cars including a diesel w123 from the 80’s.
I DETAILED CARS FOR 50 YEARS FROM AGE 14 TO 64, ALL BY HAND ONLY, NEVER A BUFFER, OF COURSE MY SHOULDERS
AND KNEES ARE PAYING FOR IT, I MET SO MANY NICE PEOPLE, MY SON AND I DID 5 CARS IN ONE WEEKEND, I HAD SO MANY
CUSTOMERS, IT WAS A REAL AEROBIC WORKOUT AS YOU KNOW, I ENJOYED IT THOUGH. Most of the cars i did weren't as bad as the ones u guys do, never such messed up interiors, thank GOD!
well the MB's and most german cars have a quality you will never find in an american build car or anything else...well maybe in a swedish car like an old SAAB og Volvo🤨🤔🙂
Always sit an external container of fuel attached to the fuel line before starting as the pump will suck up any contaminants up from the tank in to the carburetors then drop the tank out an clean it. Of course, a full service and replacement of tires is mandatory! Also to much fooling around by you guys was hard to follow where you were coming from maybe you had a few beers before hand , a much more mature approach would be better from a viewing prospective 😉
Love that you guys clean the engine, trunk, and even the undercarriage! My favorite videos are when the car is passed over to another UA-camr for restoration. Awesome to see old cars back on the road.
This makes me cringe. Not smart to crank a car that has been sitting for decades in this manner. Should remove the spark plugs and spray some good penetrating oil into the bores and let sit for a few days to free up the rings and give a little lubrication to the cylinders before turning the engine over. Also drain the oil & replace with clean dino oil & new filter. But hey, this gets views & likes, which is all that matters.
I’m so thankful that I have a growing relationship with my LORD Jesus Christ!🙏🏻
Great job on this car. Gorgeous. The quality of those Mercedes is simply astounding. I suspect you are going to need traditional chrome polish to get the beauty rings back to the proper look. I believe they may be aluminum that was highly polished. Either way they should be as bright and shiny as the rest of the trim.
That is not leather on those seats. That is a vinyl called MBTex. It is still used by Mercedes-Benz. My brother had an 85 300SD with it. There were 3 interior trims offered. MBTex, cloth, or leather
Suggestions-On cars like this that are nice enough-consider cleaning the headliner, underside of hood and wheel wells. Also, never start a long-sitting car without flushing the fuel tank and fuel system first; you can damage the engine. As a local, Cleveland, 45 year car detailer, consider using Q-tips for getting into all the interior nooks and crannies like air vents, stuff like that. BTW-Despite my suggestions, for what my opinion is worth, you guys do nice work.
At 82 years old I am thankful to be vertical most of the day, to be able to be functional by taking care of myself, and to have my wife and a few friends and family participating in my life.
your basicly the only person that details cars than junkyard digs or mcool and others
That would look beautiful in white
Yes i think so too
Any color except Brown & Pale Green or Pink.
The spray bottom to top technique erks me. Lol. I'm thankful for a second at life after my motorcycle accident I had last year. I'm blessed to still be alive 🙏🏼
You don't suppose that 230S means a 2.3 liter engine? Yes it does.
I'm a new subscriber and your videos are an education to me, professionally created and the work is 🤙. I'm grateful for my family and great guys like you! Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️ 🇺🇸❤
I’m thankful for my good grades in elementary school.
Great work gents. You guys should try to put together a little car show with some of the past cars you have brought back to life.
That's a great idea!
My father in Sweden bought a new one in 1966 and paid USD 2700 ( SEK 27.000 ). It was baby blue with red MB Tex interior. Same motor as in Pagoda 230SL but not with Bosch Injection. Great work!
U guys are really good at detailing but u should study a bit more about start up of cars that had been sitting a long time. Fuel system needs to be unhooked or cleaned first. Check several other things too. Watch Samcrac or Legit Street Cars….
Or Mustie1 or Cold War Motors or Jay Leno’s Garage, or Watching Wes Work, or VDub Garage or half a dozen other You Tubers!! There’s a lot to be learned about starting long dead/sitting cars before Ether and a Jump Pack!!
Парни, мне даже из России Вас смотреть интересно! Вы Молодцы!
I am thankful for WD Detailing. I really like the quality of your shows. You pick great cars. My entry to my passion of classic car restoration began 60 years ago washing cars at the shopping center at Edwards AFB in California. The car culture their was strong. In 1967 Bill's Auto Detail was my after school job my senior year. The summer of 1967 I detailed cars for Shorty Harper in Santa Monica at the corner of 7th Street and Wilshire Blvd. We detailed many movie stars cars and amazing cars. You are wonderful. Happy Thanksgiving!
always love your videos - the seats are MB Tex I think and not leather. MB TEX was the 'pleather' of it's day and is probably the most durable man-made seat covering
Love it! This car will be running long after all the cars made today. Did you know Mercedes was/is a leader in car safety and invented the 3 point belt? You did a wonderful job on it. Thanks.
I'm a mechanic at a small 3 man shop. We specialize in german cars. Too see this beautiful car brought back to gleaming shape is so good to see.
If only we had you in the area to help us! 😂
Im thank. For my family and friends and my health
It's a Mercedes 230 so the engine is a 2.3 liter.
The Mercedes Benz name convention tells you what size engine the car is......220......means. 2.2 Litre........just saying
I'm thankful for my puppy and best friend as well as my health and ability to be able to cook
Brilliant episode, love the car. My dad had one just like it in navy blue.
Truthfully guys this is your best one to date!! That car definitely needs the engine fixed. That would be a Sunday driver for sure!
It is beautiful model.❤
And you guys doing a wonderful job. Perfect.
Bonito, MERCEDES, buen trabajo de limpieza, saludos. 🖐️👍💪🇪🇦, JESUS. Buen programa.
un MERCEDES-BENZ 2300 clase S de los antiguos actualmente se fabrican con carrocería y equipamiento mecánico moderno y caja de cambios automática y si lo quieres con cambio manual lo tienes que decir en el concesionario para que te lo pidan de fábrica
Great work watching from South Africa, i am thankful of my family and friends and to be able to take a day as it comes
I am thankful for you guys, you are my Saturday morning meeting with the boys! Love the cars you find, love how you make them look, love how you look, and long to know the outcome of some of these beauties. Did they run, were they fully restored, etc., etc. Please continue with your fabulous channel, you guys do not disappoint! Hugs and blessings!
I love these old Mercedes before 1972. After, they started to build tanks, big, heavy without grace.
Back in those day, the number in the trunk gave away what engine it had. A 230 was a 2.3L, a 280 was a 2.8L etc. The S designates the model of the car. E class, C class,S class etc, if I remember correctly. Both BMW and Mercedes did this for years. Nowadays it’s not necessarily a correlation between number on the boot and engine size.
Nomenclature lesson/230S.
2 is the model/body designation (example W230)
30 is the engine litre designation meaning it's a 3.0 l inline 6 cylinder engine/dual carburetted.....
Really enjoyed this ! I remember those on the road in the '60's !
I am thankful for @WDDetailing's very satisfying videos
I really love you guys, your kindness , grace and love for what you do , I am thankful for my Lord Jesus Christ , my family and my friends, Happy Thanksgiving gentlemen
I'm just thankful for the precious memories I have of my life with my gift from God that was my wife that I lost 24 years ago on the day after Thanksgiving, 1999. Every husband should feel this way but I really believe I had the most beautiful human being in the world, both inside and out.
Back in the day my mom had a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190e and it was a really beautiful car. It was black with tan interior. It wasn't a Cosworth or anything, but it was a fairly quick car that got good fuel economy and it lasted well into the 300,000 miles range. The only reason that she got rid of it is because it had one single windshield wiper and the motor would go bad and it was $1000 every time it would. Then the speedometer stopped working at 257,000 miles and she drove it every day for another 3 years before the water pump went bad and the mechanic said that it was going to be $1500 to replace it. She sold it to the mechanic and bought a 1990 Toyota Camry.
great job as always fellas
the car seemed to be very well kept....not a disaster at all
I'm thankful for my health....a lot of people lived in 2023 that didn't make to see 2024
health is wealth.....take care of yourselves
My wife of over 40 ye3ars had Brain Surgery on Labor Day. It was a tumor that was thankfully benign. She has fully recovered from the surgery.
I think it’s a little concerning that you all mess around with engines when you know a little to nothing about them. Doesn’t seem like you check how old the gas is or make sure the oil is OK before trying to start it. You can damage the engine! Maybe have the owners hire someone that knows about Mercedes’. 😮
I'm thankful that Almighty God and the doctors are extending my younger brothers life even a few months more as he has terminal Stage 4 Liver, Pancreas and lung cancer.
Carefully cleaning tires, putting wacky glossy treatment on them…and then sending them to the recycler since they’re the first thing that should be replaced…
Thankful for my wife, daughters, their husbands and our grandchildren. And I’d be remiss if I wasn’t thankful for all the blessings that have been bestowed on us.
Great video, though I think you should start showing us how you clean under the car and wheel wells, as those and the engine bay are still dirty.
Btw, the seat material is MB TEX, will be brand new even after a nuclear explosion.
tenéis que comprobarle la presión de inflado o hinchado de los neumáticos y que de mecánica este bien ponerle la batería y que tenga gasolina en el depósito de gasolina o combustible
Cool car 🚗 I wish I can buy it their nothing like a real Mercedes Benz THE BEST OR NOTHING CAR 🚗
140 cubic inches😊
What a gorgeous car! I love old Mercedes (I drive a 1982 300td) and this one you’ve found is in great shape… and you have made it shine like new! I hope the owners get it mechanically sorted and on the road… which by the looks of things shouldn’t take much. Right now I’m very grateful for a lazy Saturday morning and the time to enjoy watching a very satisfying car detail video!
When the top layer of paint comes of, it's called oxidation and it is dead paint. Sometimes it's so bad that you have to use abrasive rubbing compound, sometimes non abrasive compound is required.
I'm thankful I experienced this country before its precipitous decline. The 80s were the last of old America.
Transplant that body and interior onto a late 90s/early 2000s S class chassis with a V8, and you've got a winner!!
That sort of early seatbelt tensioner was common in the early to mid 1960’s. She’s a good looking fin tail. Wish she had the European taillight lenses.
This Is a Mercedes Benz W111 Heckfosse 1959 to 1971 and this make of Mercedes Benz are my favourite well done keep the videos up
I owned one of these, definitely one of the worst automotive experiences one can have. It is beyond a money pit, it is a catastrophic money cavass that opens to the pit of hell. Sell it while the shine sparkles,,,don't let it get dusty, get your money and run!
Those MBs were built like tanks. Beautiful automobiles.
That Canadian pharmacies export BP meds here that tests show do not have carcinogens like our own have. Cancer is the Second Leading cause of death in USA.
too bad oldies like this will never actually get used in more than broad daylight. as for thankful? that I found a job that wasn't an "automatic boot" after a couple three years due to "cog in the machine" bosses.
What a beautiful car! Terrific job on this 1967 230. I think you are the best detailers on YT, always finding the most interesting cars to bring back to life. This car shows the precision and workmanship of older Mercedes...it's a classic tank!
I look forward to your weekly videos and the buried treasures you find!
Thanks so much for sharing, and have a great Thanksgiving!!!
Nice Fintail. You guys do an excellent job. Proud that you're from the Cleveland area too.
Love your Videos.. Most Thankful for the Gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ, our Lorn and Savior.
Why do you Always Start at the bottom of the Car NOT the Top, All the dirt from the top runs down the parts you have just cleaned then you must clean it again
So, you guys are in the Cleveland area. I was raised in Brook Park. I would like to know more about your business. Can we message somehow?
When detailing cars, you should always start from the top and work your way down. Just like picking apples.
I am an old man stop trying to start cars off carb cleaner. One of the times you will wash out the cylinders and then it will need new rings yes they will start but use gas or 2 cycle gas remember the top of the engine is totally dry. And you are doing it a lot more damage than you think. A little checking on what to do will save you from wrecking, an engine down the road
I would prefer you didn’t try and start the engines in these videos, without doing all the proper checks, like has it got any oil in it, is the fuel in the tank rotten, you could ruin a perfectly good engine. Stick to cleaning and polishing.
Love the work you are doing on all the classic cars. Wish I was back in Ohio to meet the team you. Great job, keep on doing it.
The lighting was so bad on your video guys and this car deserved a full comprehensive detail I would have loved to have seen that.🤷♂
Thankful to my LORD in Heaven for Being able to watch your Channel and for you all also !
How can they be so machanically incompetent? A wonderful team for cleaning the toilets, kitchen and other rooms.
230 merc they always use the badge on the backs to show the engine size so it makes it a 3.0 litre and so on so a 500 is a 5.0. BMW do the same so a 635 is a model 6 and a 3.5 litre
I am thankful for my health and my family. My wife and I enjoy your videos. I wish we lived closer so we could have you detail our 2013 Kia Soul. Happy Thanksgiving!!
If only! Thank you guys for watching and supporting
Just wait until you stumble across a W112 300SE/300SEL with an M189!
WAY too much starter fluid. You can do MASSIVE damage with that crap.
I want to see a detail on a Datsun 280ZX a Mercury Capri 5.0 a AMC Eagle wagon
The car has a 2.3 liter engine hence the 230 branding. (181 cubic inch), and it developed 118 hp
I’m thankful for my family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving, guys.
My health. I’ve learned to quit taking it for granted. Eat right, exercise and enjoy life.
I’m Thankful for the turn of events in my life that have made it possible to move into an apartment with proper heating and is safe. 🙏🙏
You guys are cleaners and not car mechanics. So stay away from engines with your brushes and start pilot.
