Have you ever wondered why people spend thousands of dollars on a professional detail, paint correction, and ceramic coating? I have, so when the guys at Chicago Auto Pros reached out and offered to make my 2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 look brand new again, I had to document the process. In this video, you are going to get a behind the scenes look at a 36-hour paint correction, detail, paintless dent removal and ceramic coating. You will learn some tips and tricks of the detail trade and even watch me attempt some of this work myself. Spoiler, I messed up a little with the ceramic coating. Grab yourself a cold pop and enjoy the show!

Dude, how old is that blue Trans Am t shirt? I had that shirt when I was a kid 40 yrs ago! Like to get another!
The young man who sounds Ukrainian seems like a very nice young man. Good job guys, and as usual, love the channel Alex!!
Beautiful car but I'm always so afraid of somebody coming by being jealous and taking a key to it, shopping carts people opening up their doors where do you park the thing?
I'd rather my baby detailed by proS
Fake video. Tell the truth, he never called you and you 100% paid for his services or you made a video deal to receive his services for free. Don't be a shit YouTuber that doesnt state the actual facts.
it's not a chair
Great job big difference 👏💯
I would love to see what Alex would do with my car
Technically it’s not worth that much money, they set it and sold it.
Ceramic Coating is complete bollocks. Invented by car dealers to increase flagging net profit,
I use bathroom iron remover on my car! Glad to see a professional doing what I've done for years to battle the rust belt/general paint contamination.
micrometers? isn't it microns?
3000 dollar ?? Let me smile 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣good joke , sorry . Even if you would sand the clear coat down to flat with a 2000grit and then 3000 grit paper and do a polish, it will never be a 3000 dollar job…. 😊NEVER
Polisher guy sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger
30 hours, oh I'm firing you, 45 minutes flat and I can make it look better.
