MERCEDES R107 DETAILING
As capable grand tourers, your R107 may have been exposed to snow, sea water and all sorts of seasonal natural elements. And enjoying your R107 shouldn’t mean avoiding certain weather, but neither should it be at the expense of your R107’s paintwork or overall condition.
WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER A DETAILING SESSION?
We’ve devised a range of detailing sessions that are focused on reviving your R107’s paintwork, restoring its depth of colour and shine. A detailing session will transform your paintwork from a flat, tired hue to a superstar finish. Your interior will be refined, with every detail cleaned and polished to remove any historic contaminants.
With our Concours Correction package, your car will be treated in the same manner as a vehicle being submitted to a Concours competition.
