I Took The Wheels Off My R129 Mercedes And Gave Them A Good Scrub

- čas přidán 23. 12. 2020
- In this video we deep clean the wheels of our 1991 Mercedes 300SL, or more commonly known as a R129, Typically when dealing with cars in this condition, its a guarantee that the wheel barrels have never been cleaned, and this was definitely the case. They were absolutely caked in brake dust that had made its way through the paint and began pitting the wheels. But all is not lost, we used a number of techniques to remove as much of the debris as possible. We used iron and tar removers, very concentrated all purpose cleaner, clay bars and even sand paper on the barrels. Followed up by a polish, and some tire dressing. They are by no means even close to perfect, but they do look a lot better, and that works for us. Enjoy this satisfying auto detailing video shot in 4K for your viewing pleasure. We appreciate every single one of you!

Damn, that's how you know someone is a master of their craft: take something as simple as cleaning wheels and make a video where every second is interesting. My man Chromatic bringing the 🔥🔥🔥 once again!
Haha you’re the man! I appreciate you. Have an awesome holiday season, enjoy every second of it!😊✅
@@ChromaticGarage same to you bro! May your holidays be void of two step paint corrections on black cars and everything else annoying.. 🤣
Chromatic and RAD Garage are two of the best Canadian detailing channels on CZcams. Production quality is next level and most people have no idea how long it takes to produce something like this; probably longer than the actual detail.
Thank you man! It definitely does add some serious time to the actual detail process. Hope you have an awesome New Years!
Abandoned cars are the most fun to clean up 🧽🙏
Agreed! Excited to see where we finish at haha
Amazing, the Christmas gift I was waiting for, new video from Chromatic Auto Detailing!!! Merry Christmas man
Haha you watching it is my gift Antônio! Have an awesome Christmas, I appreciate you!
Absolutely nothing wrong with showing love to a car (or parts of a car) that have some character. Always love your projects. Merry Christmas my friend! ~Rick
Thanks Rick! This is the first car I have bought sight unseen and had it sent to me. I do not think I will do this again, but it sure will be fun fixing this mess haha
This video had a serious therapeutic effect on me man. So...so...so good. Thanks for all the time I know you put into making this. It does not go unappreciated.
Greetings from Calgary, Canada.
Haha I love that Reuben! Thanks for watching, im glad you enjoyed.
Much love from Ontario!
What a wonderful gift to watch on Christmas day :) Thanks for creating this masterpiece for us to enjoy. Every time I see these videos, I'm reminded that my car needs some attention. Those wheels turned out pretty amazing looking after you were done with them, love the camera work too
Thanks Scott! Thank you for watching it! Nothing like she time off around the holidays to show some love to your baaaaby! Have an awesome New Years, friend!
I don't know what other talents you have but you're one of the best detailer/ cinematographer I've seen in long time. Thank you for both. Merry Christmas.
No no thank you man! I really appreciate, trying to do my best so I can be doing this all the time. Have an awesome Christmas!

Awesome content, happy holidays
Thanks Mike! Hope all is well!
Man, you make it look soo easy!! Awesome video as always!
Thanks buddy! Hope you're enjoying some family time!
I like how you're slow and deliberate with taking the wheels off. I would've nascar pumped that jack and 5 ugga-duggahs later with the impact gun and zipped that wheel off 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha this comment. I wanted to use the tool that comes with the car because I thought it was cool. 5 minutes of my life ill never get back though haha
@@ChromaticGarage makes for great cinematics. My way, not so much 😂
What a restoration.. and as always awesome editing and music ❤️
Merry Christmas dude 🎄🎁
Thanks Flavio! I hope you're having an awesome New Years!
Couple things the beat and no matter how many videos I see of detailing i absolutely love it p.s the converse are on POINT SON keep it up
Thank you bro! Appreciate you. Hope you're spending the holidays with your fam!
Verry nice! 👌
Thanks Ali!! Hope all is well
Awesome video as usual bro ! Next time if you can try one, steam machine is blessed for old and dirty wheels ! ;)
Thanks man! Haha I didn't even think of that this time around. Great idea!
Highly respectable work. Subscribed
Excellent video
Love the video quality!
Thank you bro! Appreciate it!
Wonderful to see the correct period alloys on your early 500 SL! And not god awful chrome finish either! Cleaning my cars alloys like this and having clean wheel arches is one of my favourite things to do too! I hope you make a video of detailing the rest of your lovely original R129 SL. Brakes seems very rusty has it sat for a long time?
Thanks J F! Absolutely more videos to come on this car. Excited to see where we can take it. And yes it was sitting for about a year. Have new brake/suspension components on the way!
You gave me the inspiration to wash my 300 sl today thanks
Hope it went swell Ronald!
Watching while sipping coffee ... Love your videos!
Thanks buddy! This was my first year as a coffee drinker. Very enthusiastic about the new hobby
@@ChromaticGarage Aside from coffee, it seems we both love sneakers! I bet you have quite the collection!
Lovely video! Have a great holiday man!
You too Jakob! Fingers crossed 2021 offers a bit more fun
@@ChromaticGarage Thanks! Yeah hope it'll be a better year!
love your work ! master perfomance!
Thanks bro! Have an awesome holiday!
Great job, great style, great video
As usual 💎
You're the man! Hope all is well!
another good video bro !
Thank you Reyli! Hope all is well!
Astonishing production value
Dang this is the attention to detail everyone should give
Find you a girl that’ll give you this much attention Nathan!👉👨🎓
I'd like to request a 15 min video on how you clean your teeth please. With dramatic music, special effects, and insane cinematography.
Hahaha riiiiiiiiight! Maybe when we run out of cars
Merry Christmas chro all the BEST in the new year . Looking forward to more AUTO DETAILING VIDEOS .keep posting those amazing videos ON CZcams. But I have 1 suggestion CHROMATIC invest in some quick jacks . Lol
Merry Christmas bro!! Hope all is well! My E30 has been living on the quick jack for over a year now. I think its time to take it back haha
@@ChromaticGarage LOL
I love your way you record
Thanks buddy!:)
Great job
Thanks Luciano!
I am really enjoying thoose videos in christmas day best gift 🙏🎁🎄🎆 being alone in christmas is tough but what can you do
It is definitely the year of time spent alone. I hope all is well with you buddy! 2021 bringing blessings
Wonderful car and i like your clothing style. Merry Christmas from Greece.
Thanks buddy! Have a great Christmas!
Very cool this video i wait for the next stage.
Thanks man! We will wash it next!
After I switch over to my winter wheels and tires, I give my summer alloys a thorough cleaning front and rear so they never get this bad.
Forsure man! This car probably never saw winter roads so they would have never been cleaned
That was satisfying.
Glad you liked it Jerome!
Good job 👍
Thanks Wellington!
Wheel cleaning mmmmmm my favorite. Hope everything is well with you
Haha same man! And the same to you! Have an awesome holiday.
Um ótimo trabalho . parabéns 👏🎉👏🎉🎉👏🎉👏
Você é o melhor!
Those wheels were rouuuuugh. Amazing save man!
Pretty terrible. I was told the car was driven all summer. I think someone lied haha. Thanks buddy!
Very nice Rick. Quick question. When you have a car come in that you have coated the rims with ceramic/graphene what type of APC or cleaner do you use on the tires, so it doesn't eat away at the rims coating? As always great video and lQQk forward to the next one. Cheers!
Thanks Rich! We typically use the exact same combo, Iron X followed by Brake Buster or APC. If its a quality coating you will have no issues!
Beautiful 😻
Thanks Rafael! :)
These videos are hypnotizing 😳
You're the best Juan!
Merry Christmas, to you and your family. Keep safe.
Merry Christmas to you as well friend! Weirdest year yet!
What a beauty 😍
Agreed!! Super cool car
very nice ! plz put some tape around the tool to remove the bolts. prevent scratching the paint
Thanks Han! Unfortunately these wheels are far past the point of perfection so I wasn't too worried haha
Feliz Navidad Bro un abrazo grande 🇪🇸😎 siempre de 10
¡Muchas gracias! Gran abrazo desde Canadá!!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Ron!!
ART!!!!!!
You're nice Tommy!
Yaya another one the music is lit man 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you man! Hope you get to spend some time with your family this season!
@@ChromaticGarage thanks brother
❤
I wish ur family also the best Christmas 🎄🎄
Another fire vid! Hopefully we see a paint correction for this car!
Thanks Phil! You know it! Did a little test spot and it felt amazing haha. Will need to get the front bumper fixed and painted though
beautiful. excellent
Thanks Andrei! :)
great series on this 300SL, I have similar year, paint color and wheels....
Awesome man! beautiful cars they. Thanks for watching!
@@ChromaticGarage your videos are great 'cars and coffee' for me to re-watch before I go out to garage and continue on my 'project'..new leather last year, have touched up paint, redone top cylinders new soft top going on today....will repaint stock wheels that came in chrome to mb silver
Merry Christmas my friend!!
Merry Christmas Ben! Hope you enjoyed your time :)
@@ChromaticGarage I did I did! Was one of the best ones yet considering, hope yours was great!
No words, fantastic. The end with piano music is so relaxing. Could you tell me what compound and polish are good for beginners(budget option but solid results)? All the best for holidays
Thank you bro! My favourite compound and polish are Griots Fast Correcting Cream and Perfecting Cream. They are great for beginners and professionals!
Man~!!!! The interior of that wheel was baked solid! i think i would have gone pure iron X twice !!lol!! Cool vid, Best Wishes !! ;-)
So baked! I’m usually surprised that it even does budge to coke extent haha. Happy Holidays Dan!
@@ChromaticGarage All the Best ~!
Great work, what product did you use in the IK Foam Pro II to clean the wheel arches?
Wow I love it.
Thanks buddy! :)
was something wrong with one of the road wheels/tires that made you go to your spare wheel/tire?
I am not sure what happened there. The spare is still brand new. This seems to have been purchased as a replacement
You are profesional , hi from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
And you’re a great friend Damián!
@@ChromaticGarage thanks 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🇺🇸🇵🇷
Good job
Thanks boss!
That converse cleeeeean doh! 💥
Haha thanks Adrian
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too Ben!!

Such a classic shape. Love em
Great video! In the future, try to get some euro headlights, they look 100 times better.
Thanks Vlad! This is my first old Mercedes and I haven't done much research yet. Excited see what is available
