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!
What I love about Mercedes is no matter what Mercedes you have or how old it is when you need a part all you have to do is ask them to make it pay them for it and you have a Mercedes genuine part they’ll even install it for you if you want
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.
Your insane attention to detail...together with your passion and dedication in bringing these beautiful cars back to life is just incredible. Fantastic 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.
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.
@@IAMDetailing We literally sat he and re-watched this video and several others... I am considering buying my best friends 560sl and seriously am thinking of driving it out to California from Charlotte, NC just to have you redo it! Im going to watch your 280Sl one next... My mom had a 71. Their one of my favorites.. Keep up the amazing work!
I remember picking up a silver 560 in 1988. Brought From memories, externally this seems even nicer - I think it may be a later model though. No matter what, this was a spectacular job!
Extraordinary beauty!! No one ELSE makes cars this beautiful!!! And the work of this team is beyond fantastic!!! Extraordinary video!! Hugs from Brazil!!
I’m sure someone has already asked this but why do you remove all the under coating. Unless the car will never see the road again doesn’t that leave it vulnerable to corrosive environments? Thanks and love the videos.
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.
I have never seen anything like this before! Pretty incredible. You could potentially argue that doing this takes away the natural patina of aging. Still very special indeed! Love to know how much this project cost in terms of parts and labour.
Talk about dedication to a project! I use my actual garage as my studio/shop so there is just no way I could do a month long project ha! Need to follow your epic example and get a dedicated shop with an awesome turn style in it.
I had the privilege of selling these new in 86 The 560 was the real deal They were fast. Still one of my favorites This car was about 350 lbs lighter than the SEL full size. She was a BRICK HOUSE...
It looks very good for an American edition though. Of course the optimum would be original black steering wheel, gear shift handle, alu baroque wheels, and no cup holder. Eurobumpers and Eurolights make it look better but I think you should keep this car to US standard as this is the original US edition. The 560 wasn't sold in Europe but the 500 there was just as good or even faster🙂
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
I have the first gen r107 72 350 SL. I'm going to try to replicate exactly what you guys did. Granted the car was in great shape when you got it.. but it's now pristine.. awesome video!
First gen looks best. No low front spoiler, no woodwork, simple bumpers, nicer steering wheel, chrome gear gate, bigger headrests, baroque wheels or steel wheels with painted hubcaps..........🙂
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!!!!!!!
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 !!!
That is my favorite model of all Mercedes. The world deserves to see it in such beauty. Exsellent.
That’s probably the best detailing I have ever seen,absolute perfection
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 😂
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 :)

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?
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!
My dad had one back in the 80's in green when I was a child, the same time my mum had a Triumph TR6, what great times.
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.
The attention to detail is insane! A job exceptionally well done!
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’m ready to send my ‘86 560SL to these guys. A beautiful blue on blue with 63K. These guys would take it to another level. 😊
You guys took a piece of Art and made it back into a Masterwork.
Being a perfectionist isn't easy, but it is rewarding. Well done.
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!
That styles to me is the best design hands down.
Such a beautiful era of automobiles :)
You never see the r107 with chromed wheels in Europe. Great video!

Phenomenal work.
Did you reapply the underbody protection after stripping off the old one? It is there for a reason.
You guys are on a whole other level.
Incredible job! Far beyond my expectations the services a detailing shop would perform.
Big thanks to the owner of this machine.
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!
incredible detailing on this R107!
Thank you!

ugh..impecable. Absolutely gorgeous work
The most amazing detailing video I’ve ever seen. I’d love to have you guys tackle my 1993 600SL.

Thanks Michael! good to see yah buddy! Hope you’re well!
WOW, I have a 1988 560SL, I would love to get it looking like that. Great job!

This will give Victor practice for when he does his own interior. Outstanding
job on this whole car. Very well done!
If he ever has time for it! 🤣🤦♂️ Thanks much Geoff! We're happy with how it came out!
Nice touch with the make up brush cleaning the speedometer dials👍
Thanks David! Its always the little details that make the most difference
Incredible, thank you. You've inspired me to wash my '87 SL this weekend
The car looks amazing and I bet it smells great inside too
Right back to the new car smell!
I don’t care what anyone else says I think this is one of the sexiest cars ever made‼️👍✌️☮️
I reckon the light comes on because of the battery being low. Might be wrong. Good luck in finding mate. Great vid as usual. Cheers
Incredible job. Beautiful.
Incredible restauration!! Great job!!
Stunning Detailing and absolutely love that restoration of the paint work Beautiful Restoration. Much Respect Guys!
I own an 1989 560SL in excellent shape (56k) but it sure could use your incredible professionalism. Unbelievable job!!!
There is detailing and There is I AM DETAILING !!
🥰
Impeccable attention to detail. Not sure what this type of job would cost, but I’d bet it’s worth every penny!
mercedes is the best cars
Great job, personally if I was in this deep financially, I'd of put in the extra 4-5k for European spec bumpers.
560’s never had Euro bumpers & lights, fitting them would ruin the originality
Jaw dropping! This is the greatest detailing I've ever seen.
It's always dazzling to see you guys transform beat up cars to a marvel ! Simply 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 💯💯💯
It's our favorite too :)

The cost of labor can be beyond your imagination, just like when it is a piece of trash on the dump you turn it into shiny gold.
Belíssima transformações desse ícone da Mercedes.
That was impressive!
Thanks Rich!
Perfect, I love the dry ice clean......never saw that!!!!
jesus the level of work is insane
The attention to detail & level of craftsmanship are unmatched. This car didn't look this good the day it left the factory.
Wonderful job guys. I'm glad the customer had faith in you. You didn't let them down.🚀🚀
I’ve got an ‘85 380 SL with only 74K miles. I would love to have this incredible restoration done to mine.
