Mercedes-AMG | Convertible Roof Clean
The cabriolet hood on this Mercedes was quite dirty after not being washed for a year. It's definitely not the worst roof we have seen, but it was letting the car down.
Enough dirt had accumulated in the fabric to allow moss and lichen to grow and there was quite a bit of green, so we carried out our convertible hood cleaning services, with the extras of cleaning out all the drainage channels and gutters. We also treated the rubbers to be fresh and supple again so that they create a good seal. This should help prevent any leaks.
While the car had been parked up, it had got some scuffs and scratches on the rear bumper and around the front wing. Normally this would warrant a Smart Repair, but we believed we could make a considerable improvement to tidy the car up until such time as the customer could have it done properly, so we did some paintwork correction and cosmetic repair.
This turned out even better than we expected, with the polishing removing the majority of the scratches and the touch up paint taking your eye off the rest.
