Detailing Dirtiest Car Ever! First Wash in 37 Years Mercedes 280 SL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- This was one of my favorite details and films I've ever produced. David has been asking his 83 year old father (doctor who work in NYC and travels back and forth to NJ daily) to pull his 1969 Mercedes 280 SL out of their old garage and restore it so it can be passed down to his grandchildren. David asked if we could pull the Mercedes out of the garage (where it has been for 37 years) and detail it enough so that it inspires his father to give the green light for restoration. Watch the step by step process of removing the mold, dead animals, dust, dirt, and oxidized paint back to life. Hope you enjoy the reveal :) -Larry

he's probably doing work for himself I don't think he needs the money. my grandma works at a small thrift shop because it's kinda a hobby for her. she manages the floor and gets to meet great people.
If he has to work for a living at that age, he is a poor sod!

@@bluebear6570 Or he just doesn't believe in retirement, like me. Mind, I don't necessarily mean giving up one job; I mean that it's good to keep busy working on things except on Saturday, instead of letting your brain go rusty, which would drive a person crazy. My Grandpa was getting restless just being retired, it was driving him crazy.

"I'm from '81."
*Laughs* "I've got shirts older than that"
What a guy
They're all tucked away in a wardrobe he doesn't open for as long as that too.
@@valberm I see u met my grandma
?
LOL I think I'm turning into the same kind of guy. I'm 34 and recently saw a picture from when I was 20 (shirt is older than that) wearing a shirt I wore a couple months ago. I try to keep my stuff in good condition and don't really by anything unless I need it or really want it for a long time. I make good money now but when I was growing up it was scarce and as I kid I found out if I waited a few weeks before buying something (just in case something I wanted more came along) I didn't even care about it much after a while. So now I only buy stuff if it's still on my mind after a couple months.
I think the low amount and inconsistency of my allowance (it was uncommon for my parents to have to "barrow" it back) made me realize nothing is guaranteed. Fortunately I haven't had to ask my parent for a cent since I made 20 cause I was so used to buying nothing but necessities and always have been happy just to have my bill paid and a place to leave comfortably. I'm just now starting to realize I'm not poor anymore and I can start buying some stuff. Either way it never effected my happiness.
Most men have underwear that long
Seeing his face light up when he saw his car was a heartfelt moment, this is why UA-cam was created to share moment like this, huge respect @AMMO NYC
Scott Brown I think you are happier than the guys in the video. Rare to find people who are happy when good things happen to others
Jhgyg is a one going on
Scott Brown was one of my most memorable moments ever again and now my heart hurts to
Loved his Dads reaction really hope we get to see what he thinks when it’s done.
I loved watching this, I have a red 65 230 SL I am restoring, it is a real rust bucket but they are such cool cars. Mine has both the hardtop and the soft top. It was my brothers and he passed away about 37 years ago. The car ran for about 10 years after that but the transmission broke and it has been sitting mostly outside in florida with my Dad until he passed away a few years ago and I got it. Lots of memories. I wish I could have restored it for my Dad before he passed. This guys reaction was so awesome!
Amazing. We've got a 69 280sl like this but in blue. Not so much restoring but just slowly making it more like it was when it was new. You really can't beat the feeling of cruising with the roof down listening to the burble of the straight six. Good luck with your project!
Sir ? Have you took a closer look at the headlight stainless frame? There is a little slit on the driver side at 11 o’clock & passenger side at 2 o’clock …. If you do … that Slit is continued to the body that shaped like a small spear … enjoy with your 230sl sir … is the steering wheel IVORY ?
That “holy cow, holy cow” was the most wholesome thing I’ve heard in a while.

@@user-du2yb8um9z "Holy Cow" has been a phrase in North America for a long time. I don't hear it a lot now, though. It seems like it was more common in the 1950s - 1980s.
Dude you literally brought back this kid and his dads best years through your work. You’re amazing Larry!
_Mad respect for David's Father. Eighty-three years old, coming home from work, and he sees his '72 red Pagoda looking like a million bucks!_
As a detailer myself I love the aspects of detailing, enhancing, and protecting very high end cars, it’s part of my daily routine 9 times out of 10 every day at the shop. HOWEVER, although disaster detail cars suck and give you that feeling of dread when you see them roll in and open the door for the first time, there’s nothing like transforming them into something that anyone would be proud to drive. Details like this are the most satisfying ones of all no doubt because every once in a while it’s good to prove your worth as a detailer in full and it’s jobs like this that remind you why you got into detailing in the first place all those years ago. What a transformation and the customer reaction was absolutely priceless!!!
You know he was impressed when he hit em with the hands on the hip move. Classic old man move.
🤣
I came to say this exact thing lol.
"Well would ya look at that"
This is so much cooler to watch then a 1 week old Porsche with bad factory paint :D !!
Such rewarding result, and great reaction of the owner !
Great job !
Yip, I would not even bother watching a new porche getting paint correction but give me an old worse for wear car they bring back to life and I'll watch it beginning to end.
Agree!
He was so happy the cat he didnt give a shit about was restored 🤔
There’s a thing called emojis
@Curtis Sherwood Rolls does. And Bentley. And Koenigsegg.
How can someone dislike this? That was so dang heartwarming to see dad's smile after all of that hard work.
You guys are terrific! I have sent two Austin-Healy Sprites (1963 and 1966) to my buddy Noel at N.O.C. Automotive in Clifton NJ and he has done miracles. I have not, however, been present to see all the work it takes. Watching you guys I have greater respect for the craft and attention to so many details, no pun intended, at what it takes to detail a car like this. KUDOS!
*THIS is the kind of quality video UA-cam should put on "trending". A great, feel-good, well produced video. Super nice work, AMMO NYC!* 💙
They will in 7 years like they do with all the good stuff nobody ever seen
Well your wish has been full filled. Its 33 trending
Found this video on "Trending" :)
This the beauty of him. From F1 world class epic "cleaning" down to a humble 50 year old Merc with disgusting interior.... Simply amazing.
Those "humble old Mercs" are now bringing big bucks.
Yeah these humble old Mercs are being restored by authorized Mercedes Classic centers and resold for bigger amounts than new cars
A "humble" Pagoda SL. Right...
You know that merc is short for mercury not Mercedes
Nothing about a Mercedes 280sl is “humble” sir may I ask you if you even know what the Mercedes 280sl is or how much they cost
Great job guys! Thanks to David and his family for letting you upload this. Loved the look on his father's face when he saw the beauty. "...shirts older than that" blew me over!
How anyone can give a thumbs down is crazy. I'm a 71 year old woman. I'm totally addicted to this show. I don't know why, but it relaxes me.
This video gives another level of satisfaction. I don't know why this popped up in my recommendations but thank you UA-cam.
Check his older vids and you will enjoy even more !

Great video! Adds a whole new element to the detail when its something so nostalgic and personal. You cant put a price on how grateful the dad looks when he sees it.
What an awesome gift to David's father! Finding ways to add joy-and actually do-to others people's lives are the recipe to being happy.
That smile on the man's face was invaluable.
That smile made it all worth it 😢🙂

This is by far my favorite video on this channel. Transformation was phenomenal and the expressions on his Dad’s face were priceless. I wished I lived closer to have you detail my Mach 1. The quality and care of your work is second to none!
His dad is still working at 83 years of age? The level of detail you guys go into is amazing and tiring at the same time. Great video
Imagine they pulled this car back into garage, and then forget about it AGAIN for 37 more years...

Then they need to pay for my internet back. 😂
83 and still working. Wow. He must love what he does because he obviously doesn’t need the money.
Reggie Lee When you have the will and the determination to stick with something, you can do amazing things despite your age. I knew a guy that worked out at my gym six days a week who was in his late 80’s. (87, I believe). He was doing some pretty impressive stuff too and looked great. This guy in the video is doing what he loves, and he doesn’t let the mental voice of “I’m too old for this” stop him. Because we as humans often underestimate ourselves based on statistical claims.
Mercedes never die
How do u know he doesnt need the money? Im not saying he does Just curious
@@TheWeljash cause he's fully restoring that car? Shit ain't cheap and he's definitely not doing it.
@Weljash Just a hunch. Most people who "need the money" don’t garage a collectible car like this; leaving it untouched for 37 years. Also remember, he bought a Mercedes to commute back and forth to the city 42 years ago. If he had Mercedes money back then, I am guessing that he is pretty well off now.
What a beauty! Hadn't watched you creating your magic in a while, and I am here again thanks to your Hagarty visit. Thanks!
Videos like these are why I now mostly prefer UA-cam content over television.
Meat Prison I absolutely agree, I rarely watch ‘normal’ TV these days, too much great stuff on UA-cam!
This is what UA-cam is great for!
But you can also see them on televison if you look hard. There are several car restoration tv shows.
@@CB-xr1eg Maybe Wheeler Dealers. Plenty of them have this stupid fake tension where they have to be on some deadline, or else something cataclysmic will happen. Or they don't go into it as much in-depth. What I'm referring to, is that UA-cam allows for more intimacy, and it's usually less produced. You can also interact with the content creators. Alas, though, that's why I said "mostly."
100%. I rarely watch TV anymore. I have an RCA 4:3 CRT I inherited from an uncle in 1983. Color is a little off, but it still works. When it dies I may not get another.
That moment when you realize this 1972 Mercedes Benz has better paint then the peeling 2007 Honda you got
It’s a 1969. He bought it used in 1972
It's still a Mercedes
It’s a German car . On top of that it’s a Benz
Did you just compare a Honda to a Benz? Jeez...
Bruh who are you. My peeling 2007 Honda has character
Man you guys really make car detailing into an art form, I love it.
I have to be honest as much as I'm delighted with the great detailing job, I am even more fascinated about the 83 year old doctor who works in NYC and travels back and forth to NJ daily. You have to love what you do to be doing it in your 80's.
I was searching for this comment
Yeah, that’s what i was thinking
Very common for doctors to work well past retirement. They are all workaholics.
Imagine being in the shadows for 30+ years and all of a sudden someone gives you the best shower of your life. I can see the happiness of that car.

Same, but hey its keeping out and about, busy and in good health
It says he's a doctor, probably some sort of physician, I'm sure nothing strenuous, keeps his mind sharp.
If he loves his job it's not sad that he's working but happy that he's living such a good life

A lot of people call them Pagodas over here too. For those who don't know it refers to the slightly concave roof which slightly reminds of Japanese pagoda roofs.

Cost to restore =$$$$$
Smile on Dad's face = PRICELESS!
Those Mercedes Benz have the coolest lines, real classic car. Notice the emblem has a curve to it to fit the trunk perfectly.
Good job and great son 👍✌️🇺🇸
A job this big probably cost around 7000 to 8000 dollars, perhaps more. Well worth it since your bringing back at least 5k value back to the car. The car is probably worth 20k now, would have been 12-14 without the detail. Well worth the cost.
@vTHExUNKNOWENv
The 280SL was 20-30 years ahead of most American cars in terms of technology and build quality. It had unitary construction, independent rear suspension, crumple zones, laminated windscreen, radial tires. halogen headlights, overhead cam engine etc. They were literally 'million' mile cars with extraordinary build quality and attention to detail.
a good condition 280 sl value is about 80k in germany
A fully restored 280 SL sells for over $125K here in the USA.
It's so immensely satisfying to watch faded paint and chrome being brought back to life!
Nice Job Guys! Been cleaning up and restoring a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder! Its crazy how many looks the Monster gets! Apparently it is almost a classic!? It sat under a tree 3 years! Starter issues! Was on my 3rd starter when a guy on the net figured out the ignition switches on these SUVs are notorious for wearing out! I researched and had a few mechanics take a look and no one could figure it out! Dumped Tide detergent and scrubbed it in a little before storing it away so I had no mold inside ! Now that she starts right up -I am falling back in love again! Your show is motivating ! Thank you!
Nothing is more enjoyable than an old man getting happy over his old car being restored... Thank you guys!
Who the hell gave this thumbs down? Fantastic cleaning! Lot of work for one day detail. That thing is going to look beautiful once restored.

This video was such a fascinating look back on what it must have been to drive such a classic car to work everyday in the 1970'es and early 1980'es. The look of the old man upon seeing his beloved Mercedes restored to its former glory was so worth all your effort. Watched it several times.

His son looks much older than 38, I thought close to 50, damn...
The cameraman was born in 1981. The son was born in 1972 according to the video.
@@soolew7 Ah my bad, so it's true, his son is closer to 50 then 40 :).
Uh-oh :)
