The center console trim from the C Class W205 came from the factory in black gloss, the best solution is to wrap the center console with a paint protection film after you buy the car. If you don't do that your center console will Look like the one from my video, full of scratches. You can also polish the center console to remove the scratches, I took the decision to wrap it with a carbon vinyl wrap to give it a better look.

Normally I don't like carbon wrapping foil - but this solution is way better than the original
Luckily I optioned the carbon fiber when I bought the C43, Piano black is an absolute no-go!
Isn’t wrapping cheaper?
Yeah, I’ve had my E300 for almost 4 years and am exhausted with the piano black Center but love the Ash grain wood on my doors. Definitely going to get this done ASAP.
@@dimapshen it is!
Thanks! Used your E-class video in order to perform it on my C class. Definitely a lot harder with the bigger center piece.
Since it was my first time wrapping, it isn't perfect on the passenger side, but it'll do for now :)
Pro tip for other first timers: do indeed cut out the holes nice and tidy, if you leave some leftover and think 'it will just be wedged in between the controls', the controls push the wrap up a bit, creating bubbles.
Don't forget to post heat the corners where you stretched the vinyl
Looks so sharp. Way better than the piano black
Dude i would like to thank you for helping the world get rid of that awful piano black trim... Great job... Almost better looking then my open por wood ash black
You welcome, everyone thinks that Piano black interior is nice but they don't know that is all the time dirty and with the time full with scratches
I have that with the burmeister accents is such a good look
Stunning job, wouldn’t even consider trying it though . Very skilfully done 👌
Wow, the craftsmanship is impressive.
Wow Great job, is a lot more complicated then I thought.
Might have to do this for my Q8. All that piano black drives me crazy sometimes.
MrStaton352 i do hate piano black
That whole piano black interior plastic trend was a disaster. Looks way better after this transformation!
Incredible effect
I don't even Own a Mercedes but this was Fantastic!!
More work then i expected, i am planning for doing this but gloss carbon black
I don’t understand who the fuck said let’s use piano black in cars because it looks awesome 😑
Atleast they fixed their mistake. Now you can order wood/carbon/fiberglass from the factory.
is piano black really that bad? i like it
@@wahpanda1520 It scratches easily and looks like ass after a couple of years. I had no choice but to get it for my C and E Class because back then there was no other option. And I had constantly finger prints. Dust is very visible and if you clean it there is microscratches everywhere from the cloth after a while. Its a horrible choice. In the beginning I also liked it, but by the time I got another mercedes I hated it.
@@Midg-td3ty too true! Same problem for BMW or any other car that uses piano black. I loathe it. Not even happy I have small amount in my current BMW.
Exactly. The biggest fail since the invention of car interiors 🤦🏼♂️ Looks like crap basically the second you start using the car. Super senstive surface and absolutely useless in a vehicle.
Nice wrap job 👌
🙏
So satisfying
Nice job what a big difference
Super Arbeit!
Carbon looks way better then that nasty gloss black.
Looks great, good job!
Thanks!
DFC Garage were do you guys located
Thats crazy good
You just cut the vinyl around the hole instead of wrapping it inward. Is that ok??? It won't lift up?
Facts
What a huge difference. Way better and should be an AMG upgrade. Lol.
Hi late to this what film did u use for this. ??. Looks grand i have just bought a c class coupe. Piano black centre...love the carbon look.
Superb! 🔥
Great video. Looking at the console it might have been possible to cover without removing from the car and stripping out? You wouldn't get such a perfect job of course, but think you could make a good job with a steady hand. Only reason I mention it is because the more stuff you strip the more chance of breaking a clip or trim. Or finding something doesn't work when you put it back in.
English Cad They’re just panels man. lol. why are you so scared?? If you’ve never removed panels just look up your car model and watch a video on how to use a panel remover tool.
@@-solo5003 some clips are hard to find and can be expensive. My main point being if once reassembled something doesn't work it means you have to start over.
What is the price to get this done??
Thank you..🙏🙏
the silver lining around the cup holder area that has the lid has peeled slightly on one of the corners, is there a way to replace that? Do you know what that material is called? I'm pretty sure it's not vinyl, would reeeeeeeally appreciate some help as it's driving me crazy!
This is awesome. I have a C Class and it needs sorting. How much is this?
Probably lasts, what, 2 years max before you get peeling corners?
Did you un-plug the negative terminal before starting or is it not necessarily needed. Thanks
Very nice job 👍👍
Awesome. Any chance u could do a vid on the door trim? 😬 Bought a C43 and the silver door trim is scratched to sh!t !!
How to remove just the cupholder chrome/silver trim ? Is it neccesary to take out the entire console for this?
Tak!
Hi. Can I get a clear version of this to protect console which is piano gloss and prone to scratches ?
Best way to remove the 12v cig lighter? I’m struggling to remove the cable to that 🥺
How much wrap do you need please Ill order some tonight...thanks
The chrome lining for the middle console garage is chipping away how can I fix that
I have the piano black too, big mistake! I wish this video wasn't speeded up like this. Still great vid though!
You can set the speed from settings
Very nice well done keep it up
I have the same in my c220. Where, and how much for this?
How much does that cost? I have the same model. 2018 cla 250 4matic
I need to do my like that what kind of wrap is that
Amazing!!
Excellent work? How much does this cost? Can you get it done at Mercedes Dealership?
Job well done!!!
Hi, what product would you recommend to polish the plastic and remove the scratches?
If there are micro scratches you can polish them with a plastic polish from sonax or other brand. It will work just for micro scratches. If you have big scratches like scratches that you can feel them with your nails you need to put vinyl over them like I did in this video.
What exact style/type of carbon fibre is this?
ur hands gooddd
Would you be able to send me footage of removal of air vents? I am trying to determine how to remove them and if I need to remove the center counsel in order to remove the vents. Thank you very much
The air vents have strong metal tabs, you need to push one or two and also push the airvent from inside to outside in the same time
Hi, where are you guys located ? Great job....
Thanks for watching my videos, my shop is in South 🇩🇪 Germany.
Perfect
I just did the carbon fiber option to start with on mine
How does the wrap hold up against 100F+ heat? Will it come undone or bubble up?
I’m in Europe here we use Celsius to measure the temperature. There are 100C degrees not F
@@DFCGarage
Oh right. 100° f is 37° c. Does it hold up against the heat?
The wrap usually takes like 100 Celsius degrees for a few seconds. But depends what quality is the vinyl
Do we really need all the tools listed in the description ? Or is it a generic list ?
For instance, I didn’t see you using the thermometer ... and some others tools.
Nice work! :)
I would have just buffed it out instead of a sticker.
If i need the same to whom shall I contact?! I really like it
In Las Vegas heat , I wonder if this will bubble?
No will not, the vinyl have air release channels
No will not, the vinyl have air release channels
And then they say that Merc is more premium even at standard level than F30 for example. Well obviously thats not the case because there is not scrathing plastic in BMW dashboard
Welche Maße muss die Folie haben?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Merc people i need your help. The middle console box has silver trimming around it mine is cracked how do i replace it what is that part called?
mercedes center armrest release button
Was kostet genau das selbe bei einem W213 E klasse
Ca 150 Euro
DFC Garage wo kann man euch finden, würde es gerne an meinem w213 machen lassen. Danke im voraus
Manfred Hein hallo, suchen sie in google DFC Folienwerk und schreiben mir ein E-Mail. Können Sie ausbauen und senden und ich mache Folierung
Oh that looks simple 😂
It is 😀
And the big question is HOW MUCH ?
does this count as rice or no
One thing you all seem to forget with wrapping. If you drop something on it , like you dropped on the plastic gloss. It’s a tear not scratched. Wrapping is a waist of money. Don’t get me wrong the guy that did the wrapping did an awesome job. It’s just not worth it.
Forget the car .... who was in the studio?
don't try it at home 😁 , it is very warm work !!! you need to be master of wrapping
realson you don’t need to be a master. Just practise on smaller panels first
As vrea sa vin si eu cu masina la voi...din ce oras sunteti?
Singen, Germania
@@DFCGarage :)) cam aproape de Galati ..
What is the cost of this
Nice VDO edit...
I need this for my E Class....
Here is a video for E Class
ua-cam.com/video/4NQeMy2xxmU/v-deo.html
I suppose you would need to do that when there is just too much plastic in a car, hence why I don’t go for the Merc.
Tell me which car company doesnt have any plastic piece? You sure you can afford a merc?
@@luckofhan Facts!
Geil! MERCEDES!!!
Why do people get piano black

That's a brillaint job mate, how much for the wrap? I've got the same center console.
Lol. What extra in it?
What carbon Fiber Wrap did you Use?
KPMF Vinyl
Wait for the hot summer day and then see if it still looks great
Ted Ziggy ti will be perfect I've used 3M Primer on the edges and post heat at 100 C. I'm not playing around
Whold you sell it?
I've made that for a customer not for myself
At least you should have put better carbon wrap.
This wrap is for exterior, on the interior will last at least 7 years
Polish it and add a ceramic
This is also a solution or polish it and after apply paint protection film
wrong move. i just reverted to paint, black and clear cot my x5 m console its looks way better now .the old one was tearing as hell all over.then i apply carbon wrap and its terrible in so many ways.no offence just saying .never go back to wrap again.
If was good if you done it without opening it because change the original
Don’t know why they put that horrible gloss black plastic in dashboards today, it looks cheap and it scratches so easily
I like it, but too hard
