Mercedes-AMG detailing, ceramic, and PPF — Bay Area.
AMG cars are heavyweight grand-touring metal. Hand-built engines mean owners actually drive them; paint correction is part of the work on almost every car we see because someone has loved them with the wrong car-wash. We treat AMGs with the level of attention the cars deserve — full Designo / Manufaktur paint codes flagged before any correction, PPF cut to match the body lines, ceramic that holds up to summer Sonoma driving.
Mercedes-AMG models we work on
Each platform has its own quirks. Here's what we see most often.
AMG GT / GT R / GT Black Series
Front-splitter + rocker PPF mandatory on GT R / Black. Carbon-fiber details get bare-treatment ceramic only.
C63 / E63 / S63
High-mileage daily AMGs — ceramic + paint correction is the dominant ask. PPF on hood + bumper for canyon-run cars.
G63 / G-Wagon
G-Wagon ceramic: vertical body panels collect more grime than the typical curved car, so ceramic hydrophobics matter more. Interior leather conditioning is a common add-on at detail time.
SL / SLS / SLR
Convertible top care + ceramic on the body. Older SLs benefit from headlight restoration ($120).
What to get on a Mercedes-AMG.

- → P&S STOUT ceramic XL (G-Wagon, S-Class) — $1,200
- → Polish add-on (minor correction, bundled with detail) — +$120 flat. Deeper single-stage correction at $120/hr.

Mercedes-AMG FAQ
What does PPF cost for a Mercedes-AMG?
Full Front PPF is a flat $1,800 across all Mercedes-AMG models (hood + fenders + bumper + mirrors). Full Body varies by vehicle tier — see the pricing table above for verified-tier models. Models not in our canonical tier list are quoted per vehicle after we confirm dimensions. STEK Final Coat top-coat is +$300 and extends the PPF warranty from 10 to 12 years.
Is Mercedes-AMG paint really softer than other brands?
Mercedes-AMG paint hardness is in the normal premium-marque range. The bigger paint-life factor is wash discipline (no brush automatic washes, pH-neutral chemistry) and protection coverage (PPF on impact zones + ceramic on the rest). See the recommended package above.
Do you do mobile service for Mercedes-AMG owners?
Yes — detailing and ceramic coating are mobile or shop at the same price. We bring our own water + power. PPF is shop-only because film install requires a dust-controlled environment (drop off at 3425 Ettie St, Oakland).
How long does Mercedes-AMG PPF install take?
Hood or Bumper-only: 1 day. Full Front (4 panels): 1 day. Full Body: 3 days. We don't rush installs — proper edge wrapping + cure time is what makes PPF last the full 10-year warranty window (12 with Final Coat registered at stekshield.com).
What's the best protection package for a daily-driven Mercedes-AMG?
Full Front PPF ($1,800) + P&S STOUT ceramic on the rest of the car (5 yr durability, 107° hydrophobic) is the standard daily-driver combo. Add Final Coat over the PPF (+$300) if you're holding the car long-term — extends the PPF warranty to 12 years.
