How we RESTORE the ULTIMATE W126 // Mercedes 500SEL AMG Restoration Detailing

Рет қаралды 1,011,043

Күн бұрын

This Mercedes Benz W126 500SEL AMG came for deep interior restoration, paint correction, and dry ice cleaning. Is this the Ultimate W 126 S-Class Benz? Arguably the coolest limousine on the planet gets a facelift, new wheels, and the boys leave it looking nearly as good as it left the showroom floor.
Does the long wheel base w126 grab your attention better than a swb?
All I know is, this is one of those classic Mercedes that I wouldn't mind sitting in the back of.

It's pretty amazing that dry ice can be such a powerful cleaner yet be so gentle on everything like the delicate electrical connections/wires

@IAMDetailing 11 ай бұрын

It truly is! You can make it super gentle or you can strip paint with it if you wanted. Unreal

Nice work!! I have an 89 AMG 560SEL in midnight blue so appreciate this golden era of the 80's (also own 2 x SEC coupes) & good to see you re-waxed the underneath with the protective sealant. Glad those wheels were swapped out for the AMG/Oz 3 piece at the end.

@IAMDetailing 9 ай бұрын

Thank you! We completely agree :) Aqua blasting will definitely be abrasive, while dry ice is non abrasive blasting method. Dry ice cleaning uses a physics process call sublimation to remove contaminants from surfaces. Super interesting stuff!

im so grateful for all the hours you guys put into this video. Great job. I understand the cleaning side of things! the concourse look is amazing. I do have one question ? some of the stuff you are removing is fisholine " rust protection" is removing it detrimental? do you then re coat with weather proofing? I'm not judging you I just want to learn so im formed when I do this to my 911

@IAMDetailing 7 ай бұрын

We get this question a lot. We are removing the undercoating and replacing it with a modern coating alternative

This series of the iconic 450SEL is by far the most beautiful in design, ergonomics and function! I believe this model is so distinctive!…when introduced to the American market! Ad campaign I recall showing this classic elegance on wheels as it pulls up to some random exclusive hotel…country club!!! “ Mercedes Benz “…show them you’ve arrived! as it were This and the 280SL Pagoda model are absolutely some of the best designs in auto history! My opinion and will. ever waiver!
