First Wash In 10 Years: Free ABANDONED Mercedes S 500! Detailing and Surprising Dad! Today, we tackle the interior & exterior of a 1996 Mercedes S 500, that is covered in dirt & debris that hasn't been detailed in years that will require us to pressure wash the entire exterior, followed by a wash, clay bar and then polishing the paint to bring back its shine and a full interior detail including mold removal. After the detail, we surprised RJ's Dad with it for free! If you find our videos satisfying or motivating make sure you hit subscribe!

The S500 is on the W140 platform which was made from 1991-1998, many models we're made including one that had a V12 engine in it, what you guys have there is a short wheelbase model, there was a long wheelbase, a 2-door coupe and a 4-door pullman model, the long wheelbase model was also infamous because Princess Diana unfortunately had her fatal accident but that one was a S280 model. I am excited to see the future for this model, I am sure it'll get a lot of love and attention! Also, whatever that skeleton was, was probably some unfortunate animal that got killed by a fox and dragged under the bumper! And I agree on the wheels part, those aftermarket wheels just look so wrong on a W140, the factory wheels would change the car's appearance immediately.

Great find! Remove the tail lights and I’ll bet you find rust behind them. Also it’s not an s500 It’s an S320. The S500 started at 98 grand new and was also a 5.0 liter V8 and was only offered in the long wheel base version for the US. You can tell by looking at the rear door windows. They aren’t as long and are more square. But nonetheless it’s a pretty car!

And just a tip. Take off the the 500 emblem and put the 320 on. Cause everyone will just think you’re trying to be a poser. Don’t to forget to measure so you place the new emblem in the proper spot on the trunk lid. Or just leave the emblem off and only keep the trunk star.

In my opinion, the W140 model was the best car Mercedes has ever built. Very comfortable, lots of space and very pleasant to drive. I had a 1997 S 420 (V8, 280hp) for a few years. A really great car.

This is SWB S320. Using a hose to clean the engine definitely allowed water to flood the wires and spark plugs as th inline 6 has plugs pointing straight up. You have to remove the metal cover and get out as much of the water as you can and dry it out or it'll never run for you.

The green and red lights are your indicator lights for the locking system. They used that before the turn indicators. Red and green flashing alternately is telling you your key battery is nearing its end. If you try starting it and they start blinking it‘s telling you the immobilizer is active.

In these cars you can’t just wash the engine with water pressure! There are special covers with which you need to cover the top cover of the motor before washing. If this is not done, water can easily flood the spark plugs and ignition coils. in this case, you need to unscrew the bolts, remove the cover, remove the coils, remove the water, and then try to start the car.

It's a 95 or 96 b/c it has the '95 mid-cycle refresh (lower cladding has the beltline in it and the lower rear trunk corners round into the light area, (pre-refresh it had hard angular corners where the trunk meets the lights), wiring harness issue was mid-'92 through '95, so if it's a '96 it's good. '97/'98 brought the last updates of clear rear turn signals (w/amber bulbs) instead of amber lenses, like this '95 or '96....the point of this is if has the wiring harness issue or not, and by the exterior being the '95 mid-cycle refresh, it could if a '95, or not if a '96, as '95/'96 looked the same...'97 brought more exterior changes for '97/'98, to deep sporty looking 6-hole wheels instead of the standard Benz "manhole covers" as well as clear rear turn signal lenses.

And not an S500 with the M119 5.0 V8 ( comes with 4.2 as well on the S420) there is also a 3.5 diesel S350 and last but not least a top dawg M120 6.0 V12 with 403hp on 1st year models but got detuned to 389 on the later years. This engine powers the clk gtr, pagani Zonda and every paganis made to date basically use the same V12 from merc with added turbo chargers ofcourse.
