A nice car when you started - a piece of art when you finished it! A word for a hero who gets never mentioned 🤣😉I've been working in industrial purchase departments for a long time - my full respect for the guy/girl who managed to buy all the spare parts needed for this incredible job. I mean, this car was not produced in big numbers and spare parts for it do not come out of a catalog, right? Respect!
@@arilinner9078Does it really matter I’ve done everything to keep my old Corolla looking brand new is it financially smart hell no its not but I like my car so to me money doesn’t matter
It makes such a difference! Even just a nice cleaning and paint correction is satisfying, but when you go in and replace the parts of the car to this depth, it feels like a whole new car!
Truly phenomenal work. I am morbidly curious what a job like this would cost though. Looks like it would be worth every penny! You guys are straight up artists.
Once again thank you for putting the time frame of the detail in the description. It really helps put in perspective how much time and effort it takes to make these cars look perfect again.
Your insane attention to detail...together with your passion and dedication in bringing these beautiful cars back to life is just incredible. Fantastic work.
PS: I hope your business is doing well - this is fantastic work and a gift to the classic car world. I should know - my old friend was one of the great classic car restorers in CA, and I now drive the great grandson of this car (with that same classic grille) the AMG S63 Cabriolet (2017, before the facelift to the Panamericana grille). Thanks, and rock on.
Nice to see someone having this done on a “higher” mileage R107. 120k miles and receiving thousands of dollars worth of love, more than many 30k mile examples that are worth 4x more than this one that roll through this detail bay. Nice to see more and more R107s getting treated the way they should be by their owners, regardless of its a $70k or $25k example. I have to say tho after all the work this is easily a $30k+ car.
Extraordinary beauty!! No one ELSE makes cars this beautiful!!! And the work of this team is beyond fantastic!!! Extraordinary video!! Hugs from Brazil!!
Really nice job, especially regarding the balance between refreshment & keeping the originality intact. However, the dry-ice cleaning has removed the underbody coating (which I believe would have been Brown Dinitrol) & you should have replaced it given the susceptibility of the R107 to serious rust issues.
Thanks buddy! Yes, we have several options when it comes to replacing the undercoating on these classics. We are always applying some level of rust protection, at minimum being a clear matte protective wax. We offer the option to the owners to also go for a nice modern waxoyl coating, or replace the cosmoline/etc with a new coat. We're in southern California, and these classics are almost always garage kept so fear of rust is relatively non-existent. Just depends on what the owner's plans for the car is
LOVE the 560SL....my absolute favorite car! and love that you "refreshed" it - however only a mild criticism: should've kept the shifter and steering wheel original (I don't think the mahogany for those pieces is suitable). And loved that you put back the original wheels - don't think I would've chromed them. But.....as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Overall BEAUTIFUL job on Benz!!!!!!!
Magnificent job! I thought mine looked good….. but now im motivated to do better, wonder what sort of budget this level of work costs. Immaculate!! Well done
Brabus Classic in Bottrop has set up some huge workshops and warehouses for the restoration of Mercedes classics. The cars and the engines are completely dismantled down to the last screw and refurbished there. They manage 20 cars a year.
Thanks Fernando! Happy that we got another good R107 for you! We use the same polishing compounds on the acrylic as we do on the paint - lately mostly Sonax, Rupes, and Koch
Hats off to Victor i did my apprenticeship on M/Benz body work when they were made this way so i know just how much trouble he had to go through whatever you're paying him double it
I have to admit that their work is excellent, but what they did with this Mercedes is from another world, what a perfect job, there was no place left in that vehicle that was cleaned in detail. thank you friends of : IAM DETALING AND A GRETTING Y UN SALUDO A VICTOR EL TIPO QUE LE HECHA PELOTAS AL ASUNTO PANITA BUEN DETALLE !!!
Excellent! I'll be one very happy owner if someone return my beauty in this condition and with such level of precision! This is something I personally want to do, but neither have the knowledge neither the market for it...
God bless you for this amazing job👍 The ones who painted this car without even removing the chrome parts should be ashamed... (If they took anything apart, then it was only to tamper with the mileage)
That was outstanding it came out beautiful just like I remember them driving around Los Angeles new👍 makes me want to hop onto my 55 t bird and drive it to these guys to do there magic on it 😎
Noticed some of the comments that this is a 25k+ detail, is this ball park for the US.? the protective undercoating should never be removed unless it will be re-applied. Surprised that you didn’t fix the common MB issue of wrinkled door card material.
I want this video to be viewed by all Indian car 'detailers'😂😂😂. This is called perfection 🙏🏻. They could have gone for new leather instead of retaining old.
The best detailing I've ever seen. But quality work on a quality car. It was a shame that the ripples on top of the door cards could not be sorted. Other than that 100%
a full month! He's doing well! He's been looking for some classic AMG wheels to fit the style, and thinking about a couple upgrades/repairs he wants to do
I am in the market for a R107 currently. I imagine I must invest in this type of service. What is the cost? I’d love to also switch headlights and bumpers to non-US style too.
This is amazing work! Just wow!!! I have a question (not a critism) - Why did you do the exterior first? When you began the interior - and started spraying all the "shmutz" at 10:25 - didn't that all go on the exterior after you just did all that amazing work? Just wondering! Enjoyed this video and shared it with a few of my friends!

That’s probably the best detailing I have ever seen,absolute perfection
There really aren't a whole lot of cars that deserve such a detailing. But the 560SL is definitely one.
We agree, Dan :)
Is the $$$ worth it? Asking from ignorance
@@arilinner9078 You'd have to ask the owner. This is his baby and he plans on keeping it for many years to come. So I would like to say yes :)
@@arilinner9078Does it really matter I’ve done everything to keep my old Corolla looking brand new is it financially smart hell no its not but I like my car so to me money doesn’t matter
It’s amazing all the small details you bring back to life. That refreshed leather is gorgeous. Car is better than showroom condition
It makes such a difference! Even just a nice cleaning and paint correction is satisfying, but when you go in and replace the parts of the car to this depth, it feels like a whole new car!
Truly phenomenal work. I am morbidly curious what a job like this would cost though. Looks like it would be worth every penny! You guys are straight up artists.
You guys are crazy! Crazy good… just the amount of time, work and effort you guys put in is insane. Unbelievable! More power to I am Detailing!
Thank you Oliver! Really appreciate that buddy :) THANK YOU
Nice work! Where are you located? I’ve got a 1982 380 SL that could use this
@@chriswalsh7487 Thank you! We are located in Costa Mesa, CA
@@IAMDetailing Bummer… I’m on the east coast. Could you recommend a shop in the Philly area that does similar work?
Once again thank you for putting the time frame of the detail in the description. It really helps put in perspective how much time and effort it takes to make these cars look perfect again.
Thanks for watching!
Your insane attention to detail...together with your passion and dedication in bringing these beautiful cars back to life is just incredible. Fantastic work.
thanks so much!
I'd take that over a brand new one honestly
The faddish interactive screens of new cars give them a completely disposable character.
@@genetung8590 Mercedes is only interested in their bottom line,
like all manufacturers today. It's a shame to see what
Mercedes has become.
Not me, I got behind the wheel of a 2023 C Class the other day and it is incredible.
@@stevebuchanan4829 C clases Is bottom line
My father had an 89 same color brand new.
I used to take it out on weekends and score some honeys 😂
That styles to me is the best design hands down.
Such a beautiful era of automobiles :)
Probably one of my favorite videos of this car! The work you put in is next level but the video production also goes crazy!
Yew! That makes me happy! Stoked you enjoyed the video!

I own an 1989 560SL in excellent shape (56k) but it sure could use your incredible professionalism. Unbelievable job!!!
Impeccable attention to detail. Not sure what this type of job would cost, but I’d bet it’s worth every penny!
That SL is a set of euro bumpers & headlights away from absolute perfection
Wonderful job guys. I'm glad the customer had faith in you. You didn't let them down.🚀🚀

The most amazing detailing video I’ve ever seen. I’d love to have you guys tackle my 1993 600SL.
Thanks Rick!! Stoked you enjoyed it! We’d be happy to help ;)

ugh..impecable. Absolutely gorgeous work
I used to own a 560SL. Now I want one again! Beautiful!!

Nice touch with the make up brush cleaning the speedometer dials👍
Thanks David! Its always the little details that make the most difference

Right back to the new car smell!

The others clean, you detail! congrats!
How much do u guys ask for this kind of job ??
Incredible job. Beautiful.
There is detailing and There is I AM DETAILING !!
🥰
The attention to detail & level of craftsmanship are unmatched. This car didn't look this good the day it left the factory.
Magnificent job!
I thought mine looked good….. but now im motivated to do better, wonder what sort of budget this level of work costs.
Immaculate!!
Well done
Really nice to see such workmanship and attention to detail, especially on such a beautiful legend of a car.

I had a 380SL. Loved it!
Your R107 restorations is what brought me here in the first place - amazing job! Ps what product are using to polish acrylics like the odometer??
Thanks Fernando! Happy that we got another good R107 for you! We use the same polishing compounds on the acrylic as we do on the paint - lately mostly Sonax, Rupes, and Koch

Incredible !
You are awesome.. master of art!!

insanely excellent!
Older Mercedes are worth the time it takes.
That leather cleaner being used looks like a miracle product! What is it? Do you sell it? Thanks! The level of work here is extraordinary!!
Basically they Chip Foosed it, almost. Beautiful work. This is my dream car❤😂
Hola!
Muy, muy, muy buenos trabajos que hacéis con los coches!
Quedan mejor que nuevos!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌😉👍😎🙋♂️
Saludos desde España🇪🇦🇪🇺!!
Fine, fine work !!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Amazing!
I am restoring a 1972 that sat for 20 years. You have given me some ideas. I’d love to know the type of products you use.
impressive job!! congratulations
That was outstanding it came out beautiful just like I remember them driving around Los Angeles new👍 makes me want to hop onto my 55 t bird and drive it to these guys to do there magic on it 😎
Great job!!!!!
Awesome job
Excellent. Excellent. Nailed it on this one. 😎👊🏻🔨
Thanks Joe! Hope this Sunday made up for missing last one! ;)
@@IAMDetailing certainly did. 👊🏻
good work! At 14:39, are you sticking the door sills on rusty sheet metal?
Noticed some of the comments that this is a 25k+ detail, is this ball park for the US.? the protective undercoating should never be removed unless it will be re-applied.
Surprised that you didn’t fix the common MB issue of wrinkled door card material.
BRAVO!
I would guess this restoration was roughly $25K. Absolutely amazing work, fellas!
Wow, .........Very nice!!
Amazing job, you inspired me to get my first classic, where did you get all the new wood trims replacements
What a beautifull Job!.
Crazy. Looks great
How come you guys never clean the wheels when you have them off? Just curious....
Nice F40
BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS ? HOW MUCH DOES COST FOR DO THIS FULL DETAILING RESTORATION ?
I want this video to be viewed by all Indian car 'detailers'😂😂😂. This is called perfection 🙏🏻. They could have gone for new leather instead of retaining old.
Super Video Thank you 😚👌👍🤟🤟
Hier sind Profis am Werk...
The best detailing I've ever seen. But quality work on a quality car. It was a shame that the ripples on top of the door cards could not be sorted. Other than that 100%
Damn I wish you guys were on the east coast near NY
"So what are we cleaning on the 560?" .. Everything . This is truly my dream job..
İnanılmaz 👏👏👏
That really was a great job, must have taken days and days of hard work, how’s victor getting on with his Mercedes ?
a full month! He's doing well! He's been looking for some classic AMG wheels to fit the style, and thinking about a couple upgrades/repairs he wants to do
Trabalho Magnifico, parabens.
I am in the market for a R107 currently. I imagine I must invest in this type of service. What is the cost? I’d love to also switch headlights and bumpers to non-US style too.
Collectable
Fantastic!
Super Arbeit für ein super schönes 🚘 !!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great work. Its a shame the belt moldings and rear bumper chrome didn't polish was well as the interior pieces.
Yeahhh sometimes you can’t save everything 😭
This is amazing work! Just wow!!! I have a question (not a critism) - Why did you do the exterior first? When you began the interior - and started spraying all the "shmutz" at 10:25 - didn't that all go on the exterior after you just did all that amazing work? Just wondering!

Mercedes has a heritage department I wonder how they produce parts for the program.
I would ship my car to California from Philly for that kinda work.
We have tow drivers across the US ready for that mission
One day i will have money to buy a secondhand car and then will send it to you to do this great job you do one day
Thank you
I have the same red SL that needs this detail
