- Today I work on a 15 year old 100,000 mile Mercedes CLK
this car is given a deep clean prior to resale :)
With a budget of £450 you can see a behind the scenes of the used car trade, and what's expected and carried out on a limited budget. the whole car was detailed over 2 days.
If everyone did their job the way you did the world would be an amazing place! Thanks for the dedication and great content!
I appreciate that! thanks Johannes 👍😀
Another great video, thanks for posting. It's a testament to your skill that you can make a 15 year old car with a 6 figure mileage look almost brand new again.
Thanks 👍😀
I loved this one! Such a classic stylish car that can look so grubby...and with a bit of love and attention to small detail....its stunning! You are my Hero detailer!😀💪🏽
And that's why I'd never own a cream interior... The other guy has done an amazing job on them leathers too!
Thanks VRS 😀👍
Easy to keep clean if your not lazy
I say this every time, but this is a superb job - as is every job you do! Excellent work as always!
Wow, thank you!👍😀
Your end results are much better than most of the detailers on TH-cam and i really learn the details of the detailing after watching yours and some other channel videos.
My only complaint here is that i want to watch more so please make long videos.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks Ali
I'm trying (this year) to put out more content covering lots of different topics 👍😀
Another great job. It's a shame that the trade won't fork out another £100 or so, because at the very least, you don't get paid enough for these kinds of results.
Thanks Stephan 👍😀
Wow man your work is just great i’ve work with mercedes for a long time (different dealer) none of the detailing department come near this, just WOW, God bless
I appreciate that!😀👍
Very realistic and cost effective approach to detailing that the everyday weekend warrior can relate to.
I have a CLK 320 Its the older shape I loved watching the roof been cleaned..but great overall job
Lovely Jubbly, yet another great turnaround, can't not be impressed by your work and time schedule.
Many thanks! appreciate that Paul 👍😀
Fantastic job. I'm a big fan of detailing channels. Yours is my favourite one. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😀
Keep on the nice content!! I would love to see more Mercedes of this era
Thanks! Will do!😀
The Black Opal color looks great on this cabriolet
Another complete transformation Phil! Well done! I did a mates Audi A4 equivalent recently and the roof was similarly tough to do. All worth it though as you have shown. Also, I think your overall approach to transformation v budget is spot on!👏👍
Thanks David 👍😀
Fantastic work full stop and for the budget, absolutely unbelievable. Keep up the videos and good work!!!!!😎👍😎👍😎👍
Thanks 👍 appreciate that John 😀
I like this channel, not too extreme like some channels, this feels more realistic for a bigger part of the people and to do yourself
Thanks, It's honest and real I don't try to make out something is worse than it is for click bait 😀
Hi,great detail on this Mercedes Benz cabby,what a transformation.it looks brand new,the interior has really cleaned well.and the exterior.nice work👌
Thanks Steven 👍😀
Ohh yes! Was missing a video! Get all giddy when I see that you have posted! Well done as always!!
Yay, thank you!👍😀
Well done EDD! Would love to see you having a go at the recolouring. If it wasn't for that broken speaker on the driver's side you'd think it's a car that was hardly used!
Thanks Colin 👍😀
Just what I needed, so enjoy your videos and again another fantastic transformation. Keep safe 🙏
Thank you! You too!😀👍
Seeing this makes me wanna keep my 2007 CLK 350 up to date, it’s hard though especially not having it garage kept
I know its hard to keep on top of cars outside 👍😀
A great effort, a complete transformation, nice 👍👍👍👍
Many thanks👍😀
Couple of suggestions. Uses a wheel brush to get the inner barrel and use 2 bucket method and not a sponge!
When I watched the bit of the wheel I thought you were more experienced and then noticed the one bucket and what looks like a sponge I stopped the video.
Hi
I have used a EZ wheel brush in previous videos 👍
But as an expert you will know that the older Merc's have the rear of the alloy wheels left in grey primer from factory, unlike today where everything is powder coated.
At 15 years old this has deteriorated heavily and leaves little to no point in cleaning flakey grey primer.
The sponge is a wool wash mitt, can be seen in my latest van video as well 😉
And the two bucket wash method is fantastic on a well looked after well cared for pride of joy, the cars I work on are anything but cared for .. that's the whole point of the channel, a one bucket is fine on a car that's about to have a heavy paint correction..
thank you for the sharing, the car truly glows up after your hard work.
Lovely job. I used to have a previous shape CLK cabriolet same colour scheme. They are lovely old barges 👍
Many thanks!😀👍
Whoa what a transformation, as a avid beginner you should do videos on basic detailing and it would be great if you could share basic detailing knowledge etc
Thanks for the idea! I may do in the future 😀👍
Superb job there 👍🏼 the car looks about 3 years old after your expertise
Thanks 👍😀
Yay!!! Always waiting for the next video!! Love your content as always!! Hope you reach a million subs soon mate!! Keep it up man your work is inspiring so many!! Job well done as always👍🏻
Thanks Morne Stemmet that means a lot 👍😀
Lovely job Phil really interesting especially about the limits on costs in the motor trade 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks Paul
Glad to see you on the mend and back out filming again, extra battery for the camera looks good 👍😀
Another top job mate. The merc looks brilliant now. I would love to see you tackle the leather re colouring if you wanted to have a go. Those seats looked brand new afterwards.
Thanks for the idea! I may try it out on some scrap seats first 👍😀
160,000 miles.....”extremely high mileage”
**looks at my 260,000 mile Subaru and chuckles in amusement*
Nice work on the interior, it looks so inviting. (Why do cream colored seats feel better to sit in than other colors?)
Is that on the original engine? 👍😀
@@everydaydetailing6449 my 2001 Lexus LS 430 has 220,000 miles on the original engine and transmission
180,000 miles on my 2012 BMW 320d F30, on the first engine - still looks and drives like a low mileage car! I have rather babied it in terms of cleaning and maintenance, as well as driven it good and proper 😁👍🏼
@@everydaydetailing6449 original engine, original transmission, and (most impressive of all) the original head gaskets!
310 000 miles on my bmw e39 530d. Original engine.
Great work. As you say a trade job. You 'have' to do it at that price to get more regular work.
It is a real improvement and only looking more closely do you see where more could be done.
It would satisfy 99% of the trade seller's customers and get the sale.
You need to show people what £900 can achieve.
I love your videos, you dont stage the cars like other youtubers do, keep up the good work 👍
I appreciate that! many people don't notice how fake some have become 😀👍
This was an excellent detailing job and the roof looked great!
Super job as usual EDD!! I know your costs are for the trade but I still think you are not charging enough for your time!!
But a super turnaround!!
Thanks Gareth 😀👍
Cracking job as always fella. The roof looked a million times better 👌
Thanks Steven 👍
Yeah, you‘re back!! Nice work, mate!!
Yes! Thank you! Hansjorg 😀👍
Looks good. Great job as usual Phil.
Thanks 👍
Amazing job done on this one!! Keep up the great work 😉👍
Thank you! Will do!👍😀
Absolutely brilliant value for money, probably added 1.5k to the price.
thanks 👍😀
Looks lovely Big improvement Don’t think I’d like Recolour the seats my self don’t think I’ve have the confidence
I will give it a go in the future 😀👍
When I first saw the thumbnail I thought they were pies 👏
I was thinking they were mince pies 🙄😂
Hungry?
Dave I thought the were tea bags
😂😂 did it make you hungry Dave
😀👍
😍😍😍😍 Beau travail et j aimes beaucoup ce model. Merci pour cette video🤩🤩🤩
a 3000psi pressure can get rid of mold everywhere..tried it succesfully. only issue is to be careful of the angle. nice work!
Not sure about pressure that high 😁 but if it worked well for you 👍
@@everydaydetailing6449 hahaaha! In reality it was around 2300- 2700 PSi. The ratings are mostly off. Also, the car paint and spot to be cleaned matters. But do tell me the APC you are using. It is excellent. Thx for replying.
Fantastic video and job🇬🇧👍
Glad you enjoyed it👍😀
It’s looks new to me! Excellent job yet again. It would be great to see you have a go at colouring seats as I have a pale grey leather which I would like to renovate and this would be very helpful to me, many thanks 👍👍👍
Thanks Mike will look into this in the next month or so 👍😀
that was a beautiful job as always! The wheels look amazing now.
Thank you very much!😀👍
Amazing work as usual
Thank you so much 😀 nice to see you Slim 👍
You put so much effort in and the result 👏
Well done sir
Thanks a lot 😊
Great job and video mate! Thanks
Glad you liked it!👍😀
The seats and roof came out great 👍🏻
Thanks Niva80 👍😀
Enjoy most of the valeting and detailing channels, this one along with Autoshine are the best out there.
For a trade valet your customers are getting best value for money in UK.
Merc came up immaculate finish with what you did with it, plus the invisible job the leather refurb guy did.
It's trade detailing you give them, not just a valet!
Great set up to work on cars too with the lift. But for doing mats and wheels etc, don't wait until the pain takes over to get yourself a work table!
Thanks for that David 👍😀
Glad you did the wheel bolts too. That would have really dragged down the hard work you put in refurbing the wheels. Can I ask though how durable that paint finish is on the bolts when you have to torque them back up?
Unfortunately not thaat great. Id go with Caps - I put Audi Lug Nut ones on a W210 and these fit and look good on the Mercedes aswell. :)
@@TheOfficialDuBsTeC Fair play. I'd assume as much. Mine could do with some sort of tidy up and I'd considered the painted route. Doesn't sound like it's for me though
Hi Tranquility 😀👍
as mentioned
for a long term fix, new bolts or covers
@@everydaydetailing6449 Thanks bud.👍
I love this car , I love this job, great work👍
Thanks! 👍😀
Nice job... btw, you can leave rusty bolts in vinegar, it will clean the rust very well :)
great tip , if I have more time next time I may try that 👍😀
Très jolie travail ! Beaucoup de temps mais un résultat incroyable bravo a vous !
Thanks you 😀👍
Happy to see that you give this beautiful Mercedes what it deserves 😊👍🏼
Thanks Chris 😀
Fantastic job ! Instant sub since I found this channel yesterday. What was the code for the paint you used on the alloys please ?? Thanks
Great channel, informative and easy to watch
Much appreciated! Thanks for the feedback Craig 👍😀
Solid content from you again, I feel the leather guy may have stolen your thunder, I’d love to see him at work 😉
Hi Lee will try and learn this new witch craft and show my "attempt" on the channel 👍😀
Dog in the back... car seat in the front... cream leather... talk about not having the right car for the job lol.
I agree 😀
Nice job! What did you do with the grease on the plastic between the air vents?
Hello I just bought one of these beautiful beast last year how do you recommend cleaning that soft bottom panel on the doors without damaging it Thanks much respect!!!❤
Have same clk 200 brabus inlove with this car
you have the cool/fast one 👍😀
Great video as usual. In my opinion for what you have done and the leather dyed that is very good value for money. I'd be interested to see you do some dying if the opertunity comes👍
Thanks 👍😀
Always brilliant job on those wheels, something I have never done.
Thanks 👍 Humberto 😀
Another quality job and top transformation👍
Thank you so much 😀
Great repair. This is more than a deep cleaning. :D
11:55 a nice little touch is if you line up the wheel badge with the tyre valve.
A few people have mentioned this 👍😀
That would be really cool to see you re- color an interior!
Thanks Jam I will give it a go in the future 👍😀
@@everydaydetailing6449 hell yes!
Great job, when can you do my car?!
Buy a well worn leather interior and refurb it! I did this with a BMW 318iS E36 years ago as the cloth seats had been slashed. Got the leathers for £250 and i paid a guy £125 to recolour them. I watched him do it. Wizardry it was.
I will defo look into getting a worn interior and having a go 👍😀
Another great vlog,nice to watch in Lockdown
Thanks 👍
Looks amazing i have a silver CLK coupe love it
I love your Videos man! Your doing a really good job bro
Would love a leather dye video!! Cracking job as well btw, as always 👍🏻
Thanks! Will do!😀
did you polish the headlights or were they replaced? they look very good for 2006
Another great job done
Thank you! Cheers!😀
Cracking results again mate, that roof 🤮🤮🤮
Thanks Kris 😀👍
Just catching up on your more recent vids. I'd love to see a leather restoration video 👍
Hi can you tell me where you are based, I have an R129 silver SL with blue interior and roof that needs a detail clean, thanks Mike
Great video, it would be nice if you could please do the leather revamp yourself, stay safe and well can't wait for the next one 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Eamon 😀👍
Used to love watching your videos. Have u stopped doing them 😊
No content uploaded 👍
A list of cleaning products and tools used would be fantastic.
What kind of camera are you using? Also is it the same one from you #8 video? Looking forward to your next video.
combo of a gopro and a Gh5 Panasonic 😀👍
Not evening out the center cap with the valve stem. My OCD can't deal with that! ;)
you noticed 😂
@@everydaydetailing6449 Yep. I just watched this for the first time and noticed also (since I owned a MB had have done this also). Great job on the detail though!
Massive improvement for £450 it was worth every penny.
I know its a little off subject but how are you sticking your show plate over the original?
double sided tape or velcro 😀👍
Good job.Perfect w209 ❤️❤️❤️
Nice job as usual. Why the use of a filter mask constantly though?
hides my face! 😂
🤣
How long would you leave the wheel bolts to dry before installing?
for 450 pounds its really good bargain. in the US the basic body polishing could more than that
thanks for sharing the information 👍😀
Great improvement, be good to see you doing some things like the leather re-colouring, I'm sure you would smash it!
Thank you! Cheers! will look into it Fazerdude 👍😀
High quality job, well done! 👏🤩
Thank you! 😃
Your detail job is more than the car is worth. I wouldn't pay 50p for it, mix n match tyres and an interior that looks like the dog took a pee in back. 1 owner away from scrap despite your excellent work.
I just clean them .. let the traders sell them 😀👍
Amazing video! What drill do you use for the tyres
I used a sander on the wheels not the tyers and it made by Mirka 👍😀
Great stuff 10/10 job once again smashed it with the effort and time you put it keep up the great work
I appreciate that thanks 👍😀
Great video mate , stay safe 👍
Thanks 👍
Cream interior nightmares but great job👍
Thanks!😀😀
