Perfect-it Auto Finishes

Kept finding rust pits under the factory paint. What started out as a respray; ended up being a restoration.

No more rust and exposed metal. Everything is now in Epoxy or DTM primers.

This 2017 Mercedes Benz S550 came in today for dash repair. The glue used to hold the dash cover to the pad has lost its adhesion. Surprisingly, it didn’t separate off one side or the other. Makes me think a supplier issue with their adhesives.

I know this is quite common in Mercedes. My client reported the dealer would replace the dash “only”. With a part price of $3000.00 and Labor somewhere around $1500.

We are repairing our client’s for $1100.

Took all day to remove the parts. I think next time will go much quicker.

Side note: ChatGPT said the “upper dash” can be removed with out disassembling everything else……NOT TRUE!!
Be Aware it is misinformed quite often.
