This Mercedes Benz W126 500SEL AMG came for deep interior restoration, paint correction, and dry ice cleaning. Is this the Ultimate W 126 S-Class Benz? Arguably the coolest limousine on the planet gets a facelift, new wheels, and the boys leave it looking nearly as good as it left the showroom floor.
Does the long wheel base w126 grab your attention better than a swb?
All I know is, this is one of those classic Mercedes that I wouldn't mind sitting in the back of.

  • It's pretty amazing that dry ice can be such a powerful cleaner yet be so gentle on everything like the delicate electrical connections/wires

I'm not judging you I just want to learn so im formed when I do this to my 911
