Classic Mercedes Rust Protection

Classic Mercedes Rust Protection: Over the last 20 years, we at SLSHOP have learnt that our beloved marque is not immune from the dreaded iron oxide. We’ve dealt with enough classic Mercedes-Benz cars to understand the weak points. Indeed, it’s been ten years since we developed our R107 bulkhead repair kit. Since then, we’ve sold over 3,000 worldwide.  

As water enters the plenum chamber via the heater blower motor cover, an R 107 SL can rust from the inside out. What may look like a perfectly presentable car from the outside could be hiding all manner of rusty secrets within.

The bulkhead may be the starting point for many. But when your pride and joy is completed, how will you protect your restored classic from future rust and corrosion?

With this in mind, we’ve opened The Rust Prevention Shop. This is an area of  SLSHOP dedicated to classic Mercedes rust protection for your classic car.

Our rust prevention is a modern, technologically-advanced solution for an age-old classic car problem.

We’ve come a long way since the 1970s. Your car deserves so much more than a weekend’s worth of black underseal.

Contact our team to discuss a rust prevention solution for your classic car.

Don’t hesitate! Get in touch with us today to discuss the protective methods we can use to treat your valued vehicle today.

Underbody Protection

Once ongoing issues are solved and your car is clean, an overall protection for any future damage is required. When it comes to used vehicles, we recommend using a protection specific product. Of this, two colour options are available Black will help to conceal any imperfections the vehicle may have gained through use. On the other hand, if your vehicle is a factory original or has just been lovingly restored to a high standard, we recommend using a product that’s clear, to show off the pristine underbody of your vehicle.

Cavity Wax

The underbody of your vehicle comes into contact with so many elements. From road grime and water to salt, tar and grit, all of these contribute to rust and corrosion. That’s why it’s important to protect and preserve your vehicle from the very beginning. Cavity Wax is a deeply penetrating, water-displacing wax that creates a flexible oily film on the surface of the vehicle where it is applied, preventing any ongoing corrosion.
