Detailer's Domain: Big Clean Up on a Big Classic - Mercedes 600 SEL W100

Mercedes-Benz 600 (W100) - this was a big one!



This one was a call that took us off guard. The 600 SEL has been a car I had waited to work on for years. Always loved this one since I first saw it as a kid in the old movies. I knew my customer had this car but had never seen it, finally got a call in for it and I was a bit surprised it was for mold removal......a lot of it. The car was brought in and after taking a look at it, the customer and I decided it was best to go full out on it - mold removal, engine clean up, paint correction, and protection.



This car is a special one to the family, we took special measures to take our time and made sure we were able to get it back to it's glory.
