Mercedes R107 DetailingFrancis Robertson-Marriott2023-01-03T14:23:18+00:00

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.

OUR PERFECTION PACKAGES:

ENHANCE YOUR EXTERIOR: 2 DAY DETAILING SESSION

  1. Wheel Face, barrel and inner rims cleaned
  2. Arched and door jams cleaned
  3. A pre-wash is carried out using snow foam, followed by a two-bucket method contact wash
  4. The decontamination stage utilises fallout remover, tar & glue and is concluded with a clay bar
  5. Your vehicle is then towel dried before a classic car dryer is utilised to remove and dry any trapped water
  6. Once the vehicle is suitably polished to concours standards, a paint sealant is applied to the vehicle
  7. The vehicle’s chrome, exhaust and trim will then be polished
