In this Time Lapse, I remove, wrap and install the center console from a Mercedes E Class W213.
Almost all the Mercedes W213 Center consoles cames from the factory in high gloss piano black, the problem is that this material is not scratch resistant and after several years of normal use the console will be full of scratches. To prevent this you can wrap the center console with normal vinyl as I did in this video or with a special transparent PPF vinyl.

Thanks for recording the application process in detail! Will take delivery of my C class next week and want to cover the piano black as well.
Looks brilliant. I swapped out the black plastic one for the wooden console and this is just as good.
I wonder what a white wrap would look like
Im thinking about doing this on mine but does this cause in any fault messages after you are done? (Because one have to disconnect and reconnect some wires?)
Thx but what I dislike is that the Carbon fiber pattern from the cap in the middle doesnt match the lines with the outside part. Has to be 100% 🙂
