    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
      @IAMDetailing  Год назад +1

      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!

    Dry ice cleaning is amazing. But I have a question: Does it clean physically - like sand blasting, because it is a solid - or does it clean because it is cold?
    It seems to also be an INSTANT degreaser - with no chemicals?

    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!
