    1972 Mercedes 280se correction

    Hello everyone. Here are a few before and after shots of an all original single owner 280se. The car was purchased new in 72, parked in a barn shortly after purchasing, where it sat up until just a few months ago. The car belonged to the owners mother and it meant a GREAT deal to her that the car remained original (no respray). Every inch of the car was heavily oxidized, but with A LOT of megs 105 and some Menzerna, the original single stage Glasurit showed us its true shine
    The car had to leave the shop to have some mechanical work finished so I have only supplied a few pics. Once the car returns I am set to finish the job, and will be posting the final pics.
    A big thanks to Daniel and the rest of the guys at the Mercedes shop for letting me sort the car out. Hope you all enjoy.

    Hood After:


    Some 50/50






    Finished Fender



    Final pics coming soon...

    Thanks for looking,

    Jake

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
