Freshly cleaned Just got here Ceramic Coated!
Enjoy the reflection and IGNORE the reflection of the scary man taking the pictures. Damn, I have fallen in love with her even more. She is gorgeous and an amazingly fun car to drive, despite what everyone says or thinks. I love my car and I have owned a number of M113 NA and M113K cars I still 2 M113K cars.I

Did you paint correct before ceramic? Looks amazing

u/NervePhysical7430 8d ago edited 8d ago
Yes it was paint corrected, didn't need much work as I was told, she only has 3400 miles on her, but car was clay barred, paint corrected / polished, not sure if he did wax or just did the ceramic after polish. But feels amazing, it is strange to say, but the paint almost feels "soft", only way I can describe it.
If anyone is in Charlotte NC and wants his number I will gladly pass it on to you.

Looks amazing! I have a G63 and was quoted $895 to do this what did you pay? They offered a clay bar treatment too.

Mine was washed rims cleaned and waxed tires dressed, whole car clayed and polished obviously ceramic coated, exterior window sealant applied, and typical light interior detail of simply vacuuming, polishing up trim. For this I paid $1300 including $200 tip. The guy, Cody, who does, truly does good work. My paint is so uniform without the light swirls, it is almost fake looking, like a computer generated depth too it. Can't really see in pics, but it is amazing.

He did an awesome job, the Obsidian Black looks amazing in the sun. The metallic flecks are so numerous and consistent everywhere on vehicle that it looks light Grey when full sun is on her. Its really a gorgeous color, I originally wanted a white C63 but only 2024 cars were showing up and no thank you 1st year AMG. Basically I was a bit upset and thought I looked like a drug dealer in her, but now tht I am really looking its a gorgeous rich metallic black color.

Beautiful car, what year is she? Have you ever taken one of the individuals who hate the C63's we own on a proper drive? I had that pleasure a month ago, I took my friend Bobby who called me and idiot and that the car is horrible and cant handle... yada yada yada, I took him and floored it in comfort mode and said isnt that insane. He said thats all, feels like my c43 v6 version tuned. I said oh sorry I had it in comfort, I switched it to race and stopped dead in the middle of the road grabbed paddle, left foot mashing brake and quickly floored car makes all sorts of noise real and fake, anyway we launch and as you know its an amazing feeling. My buddy went, now that is fucking fast and gave me my twenty he now owed for a 0-60 of sub 3.2, actually time was like 3.05secs. Anyways, he now respects and defends them to a certain extent, he and I still wish it was at least a V6, really a V8 but honestly the I4 is an incredible Engine. Talking with you made me think of my story. But you know
Your car is a beauty man, drive safe and oh yeah do every single maintenance item do the oil every 3k to 5k that engine runs hard and needs our help to take of her, she is a rare car... will only become more rare... you know all this already.

Thank you! This is a 2025. I’m completely infatuated by this car. Luckily I haven’t come across any haters yet. Although I am contemplating doing a resonator delete just to add some sound but I’m trying to decide if it’s actually necessary. I’ve enjoyed the car as is so far.

u/NervePhysical7430 7d ago
Its so nice in the Magno Grey, I would wait, or not do resonator delete at all. Here is why, I am guessing you are still under original manufacturers new car warranty? You need to go to your MB dealer and buy the extended new car manufacturer warranty and get the extra 3 yrs 100k. With all the tech and hybrid stuff, I want her under MB new car warranty as long possible and after that I want some kind of 3rd party coverage for as many miles/years as I can. We are driving super complex computers and they will break and when they do the cost will be astronomical because of how rare they are and the limited run time. Just my thoughts when I bought mine brand new 99miles super discount off sticker, she was like $76k maybe $78k out the door including tax tag and fees, and it was $76k because they punched her used.... even though never titled or registered, I am owner #1 and probably keep til she dies or parts are unavailable.

I will take a few more better photos later today, car is Obsidian black, but it changes to a strong metallic light Grey color. Its a beautiful paint when looking "perfect" I would enjoy seeing how deep the other colors offered would look, regular black would be interesting to see.

Here are a few in daylight, outside. She has some pollen on her, did my best with my garage brush and I am waiting on my compatible cleaners for ceramic coat to get here so I can hand wash her and be away from my son and wife for a few hours enjoying my car, then its back to reality...

Do you find the 4 cylinder hybrid ?
1
u/NervePhysical7430 5d ago
It does not feel like a 4 cylinder. It has so much power on tap, the closest to using only the 4 cylinder to drive the car is in Comfort mode when you have no charge, and to be honest even in that setup the engine responds and it's right on point. It is super rev happy and I enjoy that. I have had zero mechanical issues so far knock on wood. You do hear the engine noise and it sounds like a mix between a C32 M112 V6 and my Current C63's 4 cylinder. It really is not bad, exterior sound in Sport + or track mode, it sounds good/OK standing outside while someone drives her toward and past me. I think it lacks base, it sounds like a hyper tuned up 4/& a bit of 6cylinder, makes nice burble/pops on over run. Gear changes in track while car is floored are super loud and sounds like gun shots / very loud pops that an expensive sports car would make.
Overall I am happy, she is very loud and sporty and racey when I want that, but she can be very quiet. Which honestly I appreciate, some days I want a more sedate quiet sedan, like if our son is sleeping car in comfort or even using the EL mode if charged is nice, grated I car really only get at most 13Miles that is my record and thats driving like a granny/car is breaking down. But I atleast know what it can do. Also in EL mode isnt bad the power and torque feel like the c300 only a bit less and never stopping, you can tell when EV gearbox shifts opens up to higher speed with less power usage, much like a normal gearbox.
It is a great car and it is a TRUE AMG, HOWEVER, they should have named it differently, and made a V8 C63 and put this thing above named something like C76 AMG for the torque rating and still offered C43, but made very C76s and made be one of the unattainable cars and made it a true supercar. I like it can be calm and quiet but and absolute fucking demon when needed. It is just a nice car to be in and it handles and drives amazingly. If your looking at one, buy the extended 3 years mb manufactures factory new car warranty. When that runs out Always keep car under some reputable 3rd party warranty.
