Hope you guys enjoyed this one! Let us know in the comments if you have tried any of these! I am thinking about hydrodipping the CLA45s piano black interior peices when the car arrives. I think it would look amazing in the gloss carbon fiber.
I've reached out to the Mercedes Studio to see what options they can do from the factory. Will keep you posted as I'd also like the piano black changed up
5 ways to "fix" he says. 1 - Paint. 2 - Wrap. 3 - Replace. 4 - Get a cover. 5 - Only one that remotely mentions fixing it and he recommends watching a different channel on how to do it. Don't waste your time like this chungus.
Piano Black Sux okey, got it in my second-hand Corolla sedan, and the previous owner seem to have spilled air on some parts and it's all bubbly. didn't notice it immediately because it's not that noticeable. But now that i know where it is its anoying AF. and the thing is all E210 Corollas do not have any other interior options, so we where all stuck with it from the get go. i wish i had my military green interior from my previews Yaris 😪
Interesting clip and before seeing this I had already taken your option 5 and machine polished my centre console. For around 1 hours work, including strip down and putting back, the end results were amazing and like new. Highly recommend machine buffing as an inexpensive fix option!, All it cost me was a polishing pad. I have a clip on my channel if anybody is interested.
I used to have the wood on my C300. Can't fault it for maintenance it was always easy to keep looking good! My favourite on the CClass is the gloss carbon.
Hi, we have a 2018 CLA250, And lately I've noticed (it's still new to us) our recycling system on the aircon won't stay on. What I mean is, every time we get into the car, we have to press the cabin only cycle button. In other cars we've owned, once you have it on in car cycle, it stays on. Is there something a-miss that we should look at or do we just have to remember to press the button every time we get in the car. Sorry this isn't a question related to this video 👋 Still love your content! Watching from Australia
Hey Adam! No problem always happy to help where I can. It may well be you need to manualy do this each time in the CLA. Hopefully my CLA45s will be delivered soon so I can learn everything CLA. Thank you for watching! Great to hear from viewers all around the world.
I thought piano black was horrendous 20 years ago when they released it in budget cars, how the hell it ended up in nearly all top end cars is completely beyond me
Thats a good option! 😁 I'd of gone for the carbon trim in a heartbeat but my car was a stock built car so it was too late. It's nice to have some mod options though just in case! :)
Don't worry Owen its not all doom and gloom! If you decide to keep it and not do any of these tips just keep a soft cloth in the center console, takes seconds to give it a little refresh or dust wipe :)
Hey! The CLA45s will eventally be replacing the C43 but not straight away. I'm planning on filming and banking lots of C43 footage so the C43 videos keep coming for all my C43 fans and owners. Lots of good ones planned!
Hey Tarran, I'm hoping to find some good companies to share. The plan is to hopfully film any work done on the CLA45s and share some trusted people with everyone.
Hi Izky, This should be doable. I recommend using a piano black polish. Start of with something light and not too abrasive then if needed you can try something stronger.
Hey M K, One of the 5 was to remove the scratches by polishing but I recommended viewers to watch this brilliant detailed video by AMMO rather than re-create his techniques which quite frankly his video would of done a better job since he's a professional. I'm more interested in helping you guys so I am more than happy to direct you to great videos from other creators. I linked it in the description but will post it here for you too.

You could just rub it with some compound and polish it or you could get lacquer with a hardener in and put a clear coat over it or porches some carbon fibre vinyl wrap there is a guy on CZcams who teaches how to wrap his name is Snoop Dogg😂😂 lol but seriously if you just type in wrapping cars you see the guy has a tattoo sleeve on his right arm and he wears a cap and he is in pretty good shape so you will know he is brilliant at doing wraps it's even enjoyable watching doing wraps he has done some brilliant expensive cars
I pray for the day when car manufacturers stop putting this crap in cars - I don’t know anyone who likes the stuff. It’s a nightmare to keep in pristine condition.
Theres some good products out there but be carful using ones designed for bodywork as they are too strong. The interior coat is much thinner. Your better off using products designed for polishing shiney gloss black technlogy like the old ipods and iphones etc as they are much more delicate.
Of course! I haven't really thought about it till now but in the UK when we say "Hey guys" It's not targeting just men It's both genders although when you think about it, it doesn't really sound that way! Either way everyone is welcome here!

nice and straight forward advice :)
Thanks Zak :)
Lucky for me I have the wood instead , do like the piano black look though, the only thing that's bugs me is stone chips😥

@@ABAUTOAMG the carbon defo looks the best 👌 👍

First tip: not choose it… is why my salesman told me 😊
Thats a good option! 😁 I'd of gone for the carbon trim in a heartbeat but my car was a stock built car so it was too late. It's nice to have some mod options though just in case! :)
Oh god. My salesperson misled me and recommended me the piano black trim. I got scratches already but I don't care anymore
Don't worry Owen its not all doom and gloom! If you decide to keep it and not do any of these tips just keep a soft cloth in the center console, takes seconds to give it a little refresh or dust wipe :)
@@ABAUTOAMG or we all can get a new cla45s just like you did 🤣
The CLA45s comes with piano black only so I'm hoping to get it hydrodipped in gloss carbon fiber. I think its going to look insane!
I love my 2020 Mazda 3, but I don't understand why they put such a ridiculous ammount of piano black trim on it.
Hello man! What are you going to do with the C43 since you've bought a Cla 45s?
Hey! The CLA45s will eventally be replacing the C43 but not straight away. I'm planning on filming and banking lots of C43 footage so the C43 videos keep coming for all my C43 fans and owners. Lots of good ones planned!
so how do you clean a piano black in the first place?
A good interior cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth is the way to go 👍
@ABAuto - Would be good to know the companies that you've used and would recommend to others for your cars. THanks :-)
Hey Tarran, I'm hoping to find some good companies to share. The plan is to hopfully film any work done on the CLA45s and share some trusted people with everyone.
Hi I need help may I know how to remove alcohol parfume stain from piano black gloss panel? Thx
Hi Izky, This should be doable. I recommend using a piano black polish. Start of with something light and not too abrasive then if needed you can try something stronger.
i skipped the video around and i saw absolutely nothing about polishing.

Thanks sounds great il check him out. Still considering doing the CLA45s piano black bits :)

Just wrapp it and forget about this shit
I’m sorry but terrible video title. This was not 5 ways to FIX anything…..smdh. Fake carbon crap too.
What about buying sum scratch repair?
Theres some good products out there but be carful using ones designed for bodywork as they are too strong. The interior coat is much thinner. Your better off using products designed for polishing shiney gloss black technlogy like the old ipods and iphones etc as they are much more delicate.
Just ceramic coat it
I wonder if you could do a type of PPF on it also, like the ones we use to protect exterior from stone chips etc
What you just promoting things mate.
Lots of welcoming for the guys but what about the gals? Aren't they welcome?
Of course! I haven't really thought about it till now but in the UK when we say "Hey guys" It's not targeting just men It's both genders although when you think about it, it doesn't really sound that way! Either way everyone is welcome here!
What did you tell us.. NOTHING. Don't quit your day job
Any idea on how to fix discoloration and fading on the black window trim?
Hi Ndozoko. I'm wondering if something like autogylm super resin polish will do the job. Mine needs a tidy so I may test this out soon.
Waste of time
