Detailing my car gives me the feeling that I have accomplished something. That the forces of dirt and disorder have been dealt a setback and it calms me down. It's the sense of control over the outcome. Thanks so much, Larry!
I always think about how my car will get dirty anyways after a morning of detailing it, but I really don't mind anymore. The calmness and intention I feel after getting a solid clean product if only for a few hours is always worth it
Larry, two days ago I went to detail a fairly large van, complete detail and polish, and doing this properly for the first time, you have helped me so much, now I’m on my way to becoming a professional detailer❤
Whoever ordered this car was a baller, silver with red pin stripe & a red interior, OMG, just a great car brought back to life, great job as always Larry, Rj in Oz
This is an example of the argument for buying quality and not cheap crap. The interior almost cleaned up to look new again and that can be credited to high quality materials that are used in the first place. A Buick from the same era, stored in the same initial condition, for the same amount of time, would have faded six shades, cracked everywhere, come unglued and just generally fallen apart. Quality lasts. Love your channel, Larry.
You should start up a giant spare change jar and see how full it can get in 5 years or so with all the loose change you find in your projects. Donate it all after of course. Would be a cool conversation piece or something to see in the background slowly fill up with loose change.
Your positivity and love for cars is second to none. The way you took a 20% bargaining without blinking an eye for giving it a good home is a *testament* to that
Ahhh you keep saying "Upper East Side" but that is HARLEM, buddy!! I couldn't figure what the heck you were talking about in the BMW video about brake dust from an elevated train LOL Interior and paint came out way better than I expected, incredible work as usual!
Life has been rough for me lately, but this fresh video, vibe and pure enjoyment of bringing beautiful machines back to life just made my day! Thanks Larry!
Larry - only wish I had your patience! Great find, and I'm glad Axel got the car. 20+ years ago lived in Danbury. Axel always came through, especially when I was young and didn't always have the money to get things done and had to handle things myself. You have a great friend in him! Let him know he's remembered fondly by this viewer!
Nothing in my world beats spending time in my amateur detailing of any car I have owned....got the bug from my father, and the mental break from whatever else can be annoying if anything disappears.....after doing whatever I do...to just stare at the results...Larry, nice work, and immediately to a new owner that will improve it even more
As the owner of a similar Mercedes (1984 300sd) I have to say that this video was should restoring for me. Seeing these old Mercedes' cleaned up and given the love they deserve is very relaxing.!
I've watching your videos for years now but I wanted to acknowledge the amazing soundtrack to your videos; I've added so many tracks from your videos to my Spotify playlists. Many thanks!
Sir, it gives me joy seeing your work, I love cleaning cars, but with your passion for a clear car, no one has it. I love BMW and Porches. BTW your 911 is sick.
There is something so refined about the SLC 450. My friends Dad had one in highschool. She actually snuck it out and drove me home one night. I felt so cool in that car.
L-O-V-E this generation of coupe!! Your videos are near therapeutic to watch! Love seeing these great motors revived! I think the rims on this are from a later generation, but they sure cleaned up beautifully!
This guy is great. I use his products and advice to keep my semi truck and personal vehicles looking great. Take your time and pay attention to detail. Thanks Larry
SLC 5.0 was a homologation rally car. Very successful. I don't like those stainless wheel arch aftermarket trims. Also prefer stock rims. Beautiful car.
You make music I normally would not listen to sound good. Thanks for the videos. They are a joy to watch and learn from. I can’t wait for winter to be over so I can wash my cars again.
I had a 79 280slc. Same color with blue cloth interior and the factory rubber rear spoiler. Straight 6 with the Bosch fuel injection. My grandparents picked it up as a gray Market when it was new .I loved it
Seeing Axel’s office space gave me some major ocd triggers 🤣. Awesome video as always! Seriously one of the best channels on UA-cam. Each video is a story into solving a problem, and bringing life into something old and forgotten about!
These cars have always had a piece of my heart. I had to do some checking though, I had one a few years newer that also had a red interior, but I could have sworn it was more merlot than cherry. Sure enough, MB changed their colour options for the 1980s. The bright red with the pin striping really pops though! Beautiful final result-it came back to life!
Another vehicle saved. The renovation looks awesome. Watching you bent over cleaning those carpets reminds me of how my back hurts after cleaning my floor mats. It would be great if there was some way to elevate them off the floor of the garage for easier cleaning and back saving.
It always inspires me to get out and get cleaning mine and the wife's car. I just wish it wasn't so damn cold! It's one of my favorite things to do and it's made so easy with the right stuff. Thanks for the awesome videos and products!
The best thing I’ve found to remove stubborn adhesive is Ronsonol lighter fluid. It evaporates and not oily, so it won’t stain like some solvents or household adhesive removers.
Just love the C107 Mercedes!....it was the most expensive car in MBZ lineup and a complete sales flop in the US selling only 3000 in 7 years of production ending in 1981.
That diffuser is awesome on those nasty rugs. Amazing how much the carpets bounced back. The interior in general looks like it came out of another car. Well done Larry!
Love the piano music during the mat cleaning. It sounded like something from Only Murders in the Building. Never seen a third brake light like that on an SL/SLC. Must have been a State specific requirement for that model year.
These videos are just the best, picking old cars and getting them clean and running... I hope some day I can do half of what you do, this is my life long dream and it just got bigger and bigger since 2008, so the time to act is coming 😁 All the best wishes for you Larry and I hope maybe some day we can meet in a random car meet and exchange detailing secrets 🤫
Low production unicorn known as a complete and utter rust bucket. How did you ever get so lucky to find such a complete and solid example ? And I see a huge difference in the Mercedes paint after you threw some magic and sweat at it! Lol. Congratulations, another home run
This interior color fits so freaking good and looks amazing after getting cleaned. Always great to see how you spending your time and love to those classic cars Larry. Glad to know your channel. I am a very huge Mercedes-Benz fan. Keep doing what you doing Larry ❤
I didn't realize at first it was the hardtop model - the C107 - and suddenly, rescuing it made far more sense. And you can't beat that interior color scheme. Very hard to find. A good win all around for you and Axel.
Axel is a real gem. Love any video that he's in. Another terrific video as always, Larry!
Indeed! Always learn something cool from him :)
Why cause he refuses to clean the outsides of injectors and considers that detail work? Or is it his messy desk ..lol
Axel needs his own channel! What does he do with all these cars!
Detailing my car gives me the feeling that I have accomplished something. That the forces of dirt and disorder have been dealt a setback and it calms me down. It's the sense of control over the outcome. Thanks so much, Larry!

Well said! Here too. Welcome distraction from the other disorder these days.
@@javierreyes786 Yes, I'm the guy that cleans the car I'm about to drive even if it's just to the store or wherever and back...😊
Yeah I have my car a nice bath including the wheel wells and so much mud and dirt came out but it made me happy I did it
The American bumpers ruin every car. Whoever get's it must replace them.
I was thinking the same thing
Thinking the same thing. Beautiful car but the BUMPERS 😩
The wheels also look out of place.
That was the desirable look of the time. Don’t get a vintage car if you have modern tastes lol or YOU will be the one ruining it doing that.
I was boutta say the same thing. Their laws butchered our beautiful cars 😅
Larry, two days ago I went to detail a fairly large van, complete detail and polish, and doing this properly for the first time, you have helped me so much, now I’m on my way to becoming a professional detailer❤
Awesome, keep it up!
@@AMMO-NYC thank you so much, I absolutely love my job, I will always mention you to my boss
Hands down my favourite type of your videos. Acquire/Clean/Flip
I freaking love how the interior of axel's office looks, its cluttered as hell but I bet you he know's exactly where he put everything
organised chaos
Yeah gave serious hoarder vibes. But i know the minute he throws away something, he will find a use for it. Love when he is in the videos!
I cringed at it, but my preference is for things to be tidy.
He’s probably a hoarder. I’ll pass thanks
The old Mercs are my favorite episodes. It's amazing how well they come back to life.
Whoever ordered this car was a baller, silver with red pin stripe & a red interior, OMG, just a great car brought back to life, great job as always Larry, Rj in Oz
Yes but incorrect wheels
From 🇪🇬 .... Your work is a piece of art my friend... You deserve all the best.

Your positivity and love for cars is second to none. The way you took a 20% bargaining without blinking an eye for giving it a good home is a *testament* to that
A statue? You mean a testament.
Yes, probably. English is not my first language, so guess you're right 😀
As someone who used to own a detail biz 20 years I'm very impressed with all you have created
Ahhh you keep saying "Upper East Side" but that is HARLEM, buddy!! I couldn't figure what the heck you were talking about in the BMW video about brake dust from an elevated train LOL

That Supra is one I'm waiting for with excitement. Love the vids Larry, keep it up!
As the owner of a similar Mercedes (1984 300sd) I have to say that this video was should restoring for me. Seeing these old Mercedes' cleaned up and given the love they deserve is very relaxing.!
Amazing job and transformation as always! Loving these parking garage finds.
They really are satisfying.
I dont even own a car but I have watched the entire channel. Its so satisfying. Love your craft on the cars and the amount of work on the videos too
I've watching your videos for years now but I wanted to acknowledge the amazing soundtrack to your videos; I've added so many tracks from your videos to my Spotify playlists. Many thanks!

There is something so refined about the SLC 450. My friends Dad had one in highschool. She actually snuck it out and drove me home one night. I felt so cool in that car.
Love these old Mercedes. Such solid and classic cars. Looks so great after you do your magic and every town needs an Alex, he knows his stuff!
L-O-V-E this generation of coupe!! Your videos are near therapeutic to watch! Love seeing these great motors revived! I think the rims on this are from a later generation, but they sure cleaned up beautifully!

SLC 5.0 was a homologation rally car. Very successful. I don't like those stainless wheel arch aftermarket trims. Also prefer stock rims. Beautiful car.
All the SL Merc's are my favorite Mercedes. Great work. nice car.
This was so satisfying. Specially with the music involved. I literally fell asleep by watching this video. Keep up the good work Larry
You make music I normally would not listen to sound good. Thanks for the videos. They are a joy to watch and learn from. I can’t wait for winter to be over so I can wash my cars again.
axel is a fantastic guy. he gives insight on the problem and educates us. i love him.
the red interior are amazing, i really like how this car looks! well, she got a really good home so, it's a win.
I had a 79 280slc. Same color with blue cloth interior and the factory rubber rear spoiler. Straight 6 with the Bosch fuel injection. My grandparents picked it up as a gray Market when it was new .I loved it
Ammo is the man this cleanup is OFF THE HOOK BEEN A SUB FOR YEARS always so in-depth with the cleanups love it
Great detail Larry, those seats and the carpet came up amazingly well. There's always something refreshing when an old car roars back to life!
That wood grain Pioneer head unit with matching remote is sweet!
Great music choices and montages. Well done, everyone involved
Seeing Axel’s office space gave me some major ocd triggers 🤣.
Awesome video as always! Seriously one of the best channels on UA-cam. Each video is a story into solving a problem, and bringing life into something old and forgotten about!
DO you actually have OCD or are you just saying that?
@@zakp.2759 nah, just joking around. But I’d go insane if I had that much stuff piled up around my desk space haha!
Really enjoy these detail jobs on older vehicles. Being a Porsche fan myself, I also appreciate the car sitting in Bay 2.
Another great video, Larry!
Love videos when you rescue and flip! Love to see you grow!
Always satisfying. The piano music was a nice touch!!
Sometimes when I watch how Larry films his videos it almost reminds me of This Old House but with cars, awesome stuff
These cars have always had a piece of my heart. I had to do some checking though, I had one a few years newer that also had a red interior, but I could have sworn it was more merlot than cherry. Sure enough, MB changed their colour options for the 1980s. The bright red with the pin striping really pops though! Beautiful final result-it came back to life!
Not sure which I enjoy more, the detail or your storytelling! :)
Another vehicle saved. The renovation looks awesome. Watching you bent over cleaning those carpets reminds me of how my back hurts after cleaning my floor mats. It would be great if there was some way to elevate them off the floor of the garage for easier cleaning and back saving.

I LOVE Axels shop!!! This show is so much fun.
Love the old Merc episodes :)
In addition to the usual detailing, I appreciate the fuel injector demonstration to illustrate the process & intent.
Have always loved the SLC. Those rear roofline with its beautiful window louvers are so cool. What a nice clean up and injector restore.
Yes!! My Friday morning Therapy
These old SLs were built like tanks. So much simple, solid quality. Looks awesome!
turned out really nice. always been a Porsche guy but the older I get I've definitely become appreciative of Mercedes
Always loved the SLC. Most beautiful coupe ever created.
The best thing I’ve found to remove stubborn adhesive is Ronsonol lighter fluid. It evaporates and not oily, so it won’t stain like some solvents or household adhesive removers.
Love the new ASMR approach to sound editing!
Great video once again!
Loved the piano music during the carpet cleaning. Nice touch!
Larry, its a pleasure as always. Thank you for the relaxing time. Regards to you all
Enjoyed the video. Enjoyed the injector cleaning process - not sure I've ever seen that. Thanks for posting.
commented , and subscribed. thanks to this fantastic video.
You are a true artist Larry! Looks Fantastic!!!!
I have a lot of respect for how you conduct business. Keep up the amazing work
This model Merc are so elegant and stylish. Just a pity that the US govt disfigured it with those lights and bumpers.
Always a good day when Ammo posts!
A mk4 Supra is my dream car. VERY excited for next weeks video! Keep up the great work sir!
Before you start your weekend, WATCH THIS! Superb job as always, thanks Larry! I learn something new every time :)
The best thing about Covid was the fact you could watch a video from start to finish without any ads.
Just love the C107 Mercedes!....it was the most expensive car in MBZ lineup and a complete sales flop in the US selling only 3000 in 7 years of production ending in 1981.
it is a most comprehensive cleanup ...fascinating is the fact that u guys restore everything without repainting or replacing ...unblv
Love old SLC 450's. Was lucky enough as a kid to travel through France in one to Spain. Electric windows were mind blowing to me!
How wonderful to recover a classic!!!! Waiting for the beautiful Supra, high expectations!!! hugs from Brazil!!
Yo the Supra in the back round tho ❤❤❤❤
Did they post any video on how to do a "detail" with little to no equipment (or cheapest available)?
Like just a bucket with some towels, etc.?
Awesome job! Those are the hardest yet most satisfying jobs! Was fun to watch someone else’s process. Thanks for sharing.
That diffuser is awesome on those nasty rugs. Amazing how much the carpets bounced back. The interior in general looks like it came out of another car. Well done Larry!
This was a great flip. Well done Larry!
I really love your videos sir. You inspired me to get my camera out and record and learn to edit and share some work myself
Old MB quality is insane.. Carpets look amazing luv the red
So much fun watching this old, neglected car get some attention. Great job Larry!
Beautiful car! Nice transformation! As always, well done Larry
Yet again, you brought a cool car back to road. Nice work.
WOW, what a transformation! That car looks awesome!
Great before & after shots also closeups. Your videos and production quality only get better!
I find myself enjoying the background music.Great job putting vids. together.
Love the piano music during the mat cleaning. It sounded like something from Only Murders in the Building.
Never seen a third brake light like that on an SL/SLC. Must have been a State specific requirement for that model year.
17:34 Some good clean desk policy there 😂
awesome video man, its so relaxing to watch your vids after finishing up school!
Haven't seen your videos in awhile. Great project.
These videos are just the best, picking old cars and getting them clean and running... I hope some day I can do half of what you do, this is my life long dream and it just got bigger and bigger since 2008, so the time to act is coming 😁 All the best wishes for you Larry and I hope maybe some day we can meet in a random car meet and exchange detailing secrets 🤫
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Great video Larry !! I love these transformations..... Amazing car and the color combo was spot on, nice ride. THANKS for all you do !!
5k for both cars? wow that is very cheap ! great job as always, looks great !
WOW!!!! Beautiful 450, great color combination.
Another Glorious German rescued. Such a great transformation , well done.

Your attention to detail soothes my OCD soul
I didn't realize at first it was the hardtop model - the C107 - and suddenly, rescuing it made far more sense. And you can't beat that interior color scheme. Very hard to find. A good win all around for you and Axel.
My 1st car was a 74' 450SLC, man this brings back memories.
Looked at your shirt video on removing badges. First class solution!
