Hey Guys,

I did a friend's 2015 C63 AMG today. The NJ weather seems to be somewhat cooperative so far this winter, with temps at 40 today you jump at the chance to do what you love. Anyway, this thing is a best - something like 475 bhp (?) and a monstrous exhaust note!! Anyway the car came in with a fair amount of swirls, a few sizeable scratches. Other than that, it's red and the paint needed a little "brightening up" and protection for the winter. I gave her the following treatment today:

- Wash (Griot's Brilliant Finish) 530 MF to dry
- Clay (Meguire's clay with XMT detail mist as lube)
- Polish 1 (XMT3) with BOSS Orange pads on a GG6. Ate up most of the scratches and swirls but didn't finish down as nicely as I wanted. Wasn't bad, but wasn't perfect either. A second, lesser aggressive polishing was required after and I was OK with that. This was not a car to be rushed.
- Polish 2 (McKee's 37 360 with LC CCS white pads) on a GG6. This finished off nicely, and clarified the paint after the first polishing.
- Liquid Wax/Sealant (Griot's Best of Show) - by hand - and applied for protection on top of the 360
- Paste Wax (SSII) - by hand
- Wheels (Pinnacle Advanced Wheel Cleaner)
- Tires cleaned with Griot's Rubber Cleaner, Dressed with Griot's Long Lasting Tire Gel.
- Interior (DP Cleaner and Protectant). Ironically this car's seats are NOT made of leather
- Windows (Pinnacle Crystal Clear w/ Rain Repellent)

It took the better part of the day, but I thoroughly enjoyed making this beauty shine. What a car!

Enjoy,

Very nice job, Scott. I almost bought a C63 Sedan....and I'm glad I didn't. I love it so much more in coupe form. Wondering why you had 3 wax steps, seems redundant.

Thank you! Yes this car is a piece of art really. The body lines are amazing. The transmission shifts instantaneously, and throttle response is immediate. It might actually be "too much car" for an every day car. In a good way of course.

P.S. The 360 was the sealant or "base" and then I wanted to put down Griot's Best of Show liquid (provides decent durability) and yes the SSII on top seems redundant but gave it a nice finished look.

That color screams pull over.Nice color though if you have a heavey foot white looks nice or even silver.
 
beautiful car and great work. if they had an AWD version like they do now when I bought my Audi, I'd have another MBZ in the garage. it may be my next car. They run good stock but like most really really wake up with a good tune. :)
 
dripping wet, very nice... :)

Nice job. Love that color(Mars Red). Those are 469hp unless it's the S model, which bumps it up to 503. I believe the seats are Alcantara. Looks really good!
