There’s not enough paint left to go crazy on it. I was a detailer back when these cars were new, I worked on a number of W114’s back then, along with then new w126 and an assortment of wild exotics. This paint was a nightmare then and still is. I’m shocked this one is coming up at all. The front clip was repainted long ago but the rest is original and tired. It is going through on the boot, that’s how thin it is.

I had a crazy paint restoration done on it 4 years ago, the fellow says there isn’t enough left to do it again. But he also suggested the 3 in 1, he is not a fan of Meguiar’s except for this product and two of the spray on products, they do a decent job feeding the older paints.
