You know we have a bit of a thing for restoring Mercedes 560SL, specifically the R107. This 560SL hardtop came in to be brought back to life and that's exactly what it got! This thing got the works! We started with a full dry ice cleaning of the undercarriage, engine detailing, and wheel wells, moved on to a car wash, which it was in desperate need of. Then it was time to get to work!
We performed a full paint correction, including color sanding and two step polishing. We then moved on to the interior, cleaning the leather, polishing the interior wood grain, and deep cleaning the steering wheels and carpets. We got to work on the hard top, and finished with a full ceramic coating!
Safe to say there was no stone left unturned here!
Is this the best R107 Mercedes Benz 560SL we've done yet? Tell us what Mercedes we should do next in the comments.

  • What is the giant blue buffing pad you use on the rotary? You should link your products in the description and get a cut of when people buy it. Fantastic work as always. For the people shocked by the price, they have no idea how many hours these take, and the investment in the shop and equipment. I color sanded an Alfa spider, which is smaller than this 560, and it took about 60 hours to fully sand, polish and ceramic coat.

    • I understand your point but you should know over time that protectant breaks down and can become sticky attracting contaminants and itself is counterproductive. So removing it is a good thing, however to your point needs to be reprotected with a more modern water based product. That care is a masterpiece and will be picked up by a collector for sure.
