    Car manufacturers don't build to last any longer, they build with a failure date and this includes Mercedes. This 55 year old Mercedes in many ways is better than anything being built in the last 30 years with a few exceptions.

      Simply mechanics and build like a tank

      No doubt. They don’t have to design a part that fails after certain mileage all they need to do is to program the HCU that runs the car.

    Man! I love how calmly you detail cars. Seems like there’s no deadline or need to rush. It’s relaxing to watch and the results are just wow!

    Still a beautiful vehicle IMHO and good to see one that has not been eater up by rust as so many have been. Nice work.

      Funny, I was never a fan of that style but now find I appreciate it far more. That color is killer on it.

    Wonderful to see one of them brought back. It's a shame Mercedes chooses
    not to build them with that quality any longer. Well done!

    • @ronalddean3630
      @ronalddean3630 5 місяців тому

      It is because they are now building to a cost rather than a high standard. If someone gifted a new one to me, I would keep it long enough to sell it to someone who doesn't have a clue what a real Mercedes Benz is, and buy another classic.

  • @jaaphoogendijk671

    Wow the fact that the difference was seeable on silver/grey without sun or artificial lighting goes to show the difference! Great job

  • @ronalddean3630

    Nice work; I like the fact that the only sounds are the removal of all that grime, and the music is perfect. I miss my dad's Ivory W108.

  • @niklashaugeneset4318
    @niklashaugeneset4318 2 роки тому +41

    On older cars like these, do you ever measure the paint? Sometimes there could be very little paint left and a softer polish could be a better option. Just curious.

    • @jeffreyrobert9460
      @jeffreyrobert9460 2 роки тому +14

      Most cars of this age have single stage paint ie no clear coat. A detailer has to be very careful with paint like this

    Hey you forgot the carpet and head liner! If there is mould on the vinyl there is mould right through the leather seats and carpets. You should know that you can remove the carpet panels ( except for the front seats) . And you will find a lot of unhealthy stuff under there.
