Transforming a 2005 Mercedes SLK - Wait Until You See the Results!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video, I detail a tatty 2005 Mercedes SLK 200 and give it a complete makeover.
This car, although well loved, had been sitting up for the past while. The paint was badly contaminated with ingrained dirt, moss and algae, and the elements had taken their toll on some trim pieces.
I start by giving the car a 2 stage wash, before applying a clay bar and 2 coats of autoglym high resin polish. I also polish the headlights and tail lights and address some faded black trim using self adhesive vinyl.
Please don't forget to like the video and subscribe to my channel for more car revival videos.
Music throughout by Corbyn Kites.

    Nice job Ross - you could have improved the result by taking of the wheels and cleaning & polishing them also from the inside😅. Personnally I would recommend a sponge or soft pad of micofiber for applying the polish and different types of dent microfiber towels for finishing the paint😅. Cheers from Germany

    Love your Videos Ross. Bought a Silver SLK of my own one month back and I'm gradually bringing it back to its former glory. Liked the T-Cut of the headlights - Will definitely give that a go. 👍

    It's grown on me over the years. She had an MGF beforehand, which I loved.

    You reckon? It's not something that's ever bothered me about it to be honest.

    The facelift aerial swaps right in and looks much better.
