Some vehicles are simply more than cars. They are pieces of automotive history.

At Prestige PPF, we recently had the privilege of protecting an exceptionally rare 1966 Mercedes-Benz 600 W100, applying paint protection film across the vehicle to help preserve its original condition for years to come.

As one of Mercedes-Benz’s most prestigious and technically advanced cars of its era, the W100 600 represents an important chapter in automotive history. Today, beautifully preserved examples are highly sought after by collectors, making the protection of both its paintwork and intricate exterior detailing particularly important.

Protecting a Piece of Automotive History

Unlike a modern vehicle, working on a classic such as the Mercedes-Benz 600 requires an entirely different approach.

The objective isn’t simply to make the car look its best today. It’s about preserving what makes the vehicle special in the first place.

Original paintwork on a vehicle of this age can carry enormous historical and financial value. Minor stone chips, road debris, environmental contamination and everyday wear can permanently alter the appearance of an irreplaceable vehicle.

For this particular W100, our goal was to provide a modern level of protection while retaining the appearance and character of the original vehicle.

Full Body PPF Protection

We applied paint protection film across the vehicle to create an invisible protective barrier between the original finish and the outside environment.

PPF can help protect vulnerable surfaces from:

• Stone chips and road debris
• Light scratches and scuffs
• Road contamination
• Insect deposits
• Bird droppings and other contaminants
• General environmental wear
• Repeated washing and maintenance

For a collector vehicle, this additional layer of protection can be particularly valuable. Rather than allowing damage to reach the original finish, the film takes the impact and can subsequently be replaced when required.

The result is protection that remains virtually invisible, allowing the character of the original Mercedes-Benz to remain intact.

Protecting More Than Just the Paint

One of the defining features of this particular W100 is its extensive use of chrome and brightwork.

The exterior of the Mercedes-Benz 600 features substantial chrome detailing, including its distinctive bumpers, trims and other brightwork. These components are just as important to the overall appearance of the vehicle as the paint itself.

For this reason, our approach extended beyond simply protecting the painted panels.

The chrome trims across the vehicle were also protected with PPF.

This provides an additional barrier against the small abrasions, contamination and environmental exposure that can gradually affect highly finished exterior trim.

On a modern vehicle, replacing a damaged piece of exterior trim may be relatively straightforward. On a 1966 Mercedes-Benz 600, however, maintaining original components can be considerably more important.

Preserving the existing chrome therefore becomes part of preserving the vehicle itself.

Preserving the Future

Classic and antique vehicles become increasingly difficult to replace as time passes.

Every original panel, piece of chrome and carefully preserved detail contributes to the history and authenticity of the vehicle.

For collectors and owners of significant automobiles, protecting that originality can be just as important as maintaining mechanical condition.

At Prestige PPF, we believe paint protection isn’t exclusively for new supercars.

A piece of automotive history, protected for the future.

Amazing advice and execution. Danny gave detailed explanations of the recommended work for my vintage Mercedes, and when I picked it up yesterday, the shine and cleanliness was striking! Back in a month for aftercare.

Vik and the team did a fantastic job on my 991. Twelve years of use had left the paintwork looking tired, with plenty of stone chips and a few scuffs. They fixed the chips and the scuffs have completely disappeared. Full body PPF on top of that, and the car honestly looks better now than I expected it ever could. Straight talking throughout and no upselling. Highly recommended. I couldn't be happier with the end result!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had my Porsche protected with PPF by Prestige PPF, and I can honestly say it was worth every penny. The quality of the installation is exceptional – the finish is flawless, and you'd never know the film was there. A huge thank you to Daniel, who was brilliant from start to finish. He took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and his attention to detail was outstanding. It's clear he genuinely cares about the quality of his work and takes real pride in every installation. The whole experience was first class, and knowing my Porsche is now protected gives me complete peace of mind. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my cars and highly recommend Prestige PPF to anyone looking for the very best in paint protection.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Choosing Prestige PPF to work on my BMW i7 was one of the best decisions I've made, and I can honestly say the entire experience was exceptional from beginning to end. I entrusted them with a full PPF installation, leather seat coating, ceramic coating, and window tinting. As someone who is extremely particular and has very high standards, I don't give compliments easily. In fact, I know I can be a demanding customer. But the team at Prestige PPF didn't just meet my expectations—they completely exceeded them. What truly sets them apart isn't only the incredible quality of their craftsmanship, but the way they treat their customers. They were incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and they took the time to explain every step of the installation process, the purpose of each product, and exactly how to care for the vehicle afterward. At no point did I feel rushed, and their commitment to making sure I was completely comfortable and informed was second to none. When I collected my BMW i7, I was genuinely speechless. The finish was flawless, the attention to detail was beyond anything I had imagined, and the car looked even better than the day I took delivery from BMW. It's rare to find a company where perfection isn't just a goal—it's the standard. In today's world, it's easy to find companies that promise quality. It's much harder to find one that delivers perfection while making you feel valued throughout the entire journey. Prestige PPF achieved both. To everyone at Prestige PPF specially Daniel, thank you for your professionalism, your patience, your honesty, and your incredible attention to detail. You've earned not only my trust but also my highest recommendation. Anyone considering protecting their car should look no further—you won't find a better team. I will definitely be returning for future vehicles and recommending Prestige PPF to anyone who wants nothing but the very best.

Fab experience. My 9 year-old Tesla Model X was in need of TLC. Daniel and Vik have a great business and were able to take my car through bodywork repairs, followed by full PPF, and ceramic coating in and out. My car looks amazing and people comment on its lovely condition and shine. Daniel is a great guy, very helpful,  understanding and good with responses, despite managing the busy workshop floor and juggling staff and cars. Very happy. Recommended⭐️

Excellent service from start to finish. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire process, with regular updates and complete transparency at every stage. Nothing was signed off without my approval, which gave me real confidence that the team genuinely cared about delivering the best possible result. The agreed timescales were met exactly as promised, and the workmanship was exceptional. They efficiently removed a number of dings, scratches and dents before carrying out the PPF work, and the whole process was handled smoothly and professionally. The attention to detail was fantastic, and the end result has completely transformed the car. It genuinely feels like I have a brand-new vehicle again. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received and would highly recommend Prestige PPF to anyone looking for quality workmanship, professionalism and excellent customer care. Thank you to the whole team!

I recently had my Porsche GT3 Touring wrapped in satin PPF by Dan at Prestige PPF, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The satin finish completely transformed the car, giving it a clean stealth look while still highlighting every curve and detail of the GT3 Touring. Dan’s attention to detail and workmanship were exceptional from start to finish. Every panel, edge, and contour was wrapped flawlessly, and the finish looks factory quality with no visible imperfections. You can immediately tell a huge amount of care and precision went into the installation. What I love most is that the satin PPF not only looks incredible but also gives the car real protection from stone chips, swirl marks, and everyday road wear. The finish is easy to maintain and keeps the car looking fresh and unique every time I drive it. Prestige PPF delivered an outstanding experience overall — professional service, excellent communication, and truly top-tier craftsmanship. If you’re considering satin PPF for a high-end car, I highly recommend Dan and the team at Prestige PPF.

I recently had my car treated at Prestige PPF and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first call, Daniel was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable — he really took the time to explain everything and made me feel confident in choosing them. When I arrived, the whole team was friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. The technicians are top-notch — true professionals who clearly know their craft inside out. Seeing so many high-end and supercars in their workshop being worked on gave me even more confidence that my car was in the right hands. The work itself was excellent. The graphene coating has come out beautifully, and the attention to detail is obvious. Everything was completed on time as promised, which is always a big plus. The location is also super convenient, easily accessible from the Great West Road. Overall, a fantastic experience — great people, outstanding workmanship, and a business that clearly takes pride in what they do. I highly recommend Prestige PPF and I’m already looking forward to going back soon to get my tinting done, and later PPF as well.

These boys rock - turned around a brand new DBX S with full exterior and interior PPF, plus ceramic coating, within a couple of days and at very short notice. Great quality work and terrific follow-up to ensure it was performing as expected a month or so later. I would use again, and recommend, which is the best test of a review. Great job guys, many thanks
