MODERN CLASSIC MERCEDES DETAILING
Detailing is an industry leading approach to giving the exterior and interior of your Mercedes-Benz a complete overhaul, restoring its factory shine, removing any defects, as well as any contaminants that may slowly erode the beautiful craftsmanship of your modern classic Mercedes-Benz.
WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER A DETAILING SESSION?
Our expert detailers dedicated hours to perfecting models from the 1990s & 2000s, including coupes, saloons and even estates. They understand what works with each model and how to approach them correctly to give your model the love it deserves.
We offer three packages to suit your budget and desired outcome, each based around our core eight-stage process.
