This is going to be interesting, I know nothing about cars. I have an slk230 kompressor year 2000 (manual)
If anyone has any advice on headlight lens replacement or restoration (already attempted using some stuff to restore twice, made a big difference but still has a slight yellow tinge that I want to either rid or replace.)
The paint peeling on the interior, I've heard of a few products but I would love to know if some favorites. I believe the interior is the anthracite shade.
Floor mats need replacement as well
A good polish? The car is silver.
Lastly speakers, if anyone knows of a decent way to replace the speakers that's not extremely expensive. Replacing the speakers really isn't necessary for me but it would be great to know.
Again my understanding of my cars is extremely minimal so please excuse my incorrect terms and such.

Hello and welcome from Belgium.

Hi and welcome from the UK Midlands!

Jeff's already mentioned that search and the DIYs can be useful.

There are several different headlamp restoration kits available, and the one I've seen most people recommend here (and elsewhere) is the 3M headlamp restoration kit. I haven't used one myself (yet), but one of my headlamps is in need of some work so I might be trying it myself sometime this year.

Welcome from Wirral, England.


Worth using search for your issues. There's an excellent youtube link on restoring the interior of a R170 and several on headlamp lenses.

Hi and welcome from Aberdeen, Scotland. I have used a kit to restore my headlights and have not achieved a perfect finish. Around 95% is a practical expectation. Be glad to hear of anyone getting better results.
