Congrats on the new car!!! I too orginally bought an S4 and traded it in within a week for my C55. Love the C55 and will be an AMG owner for life.

make sure you don't wipe em off in dry condition. or at least wipe em with a damp rag. otherwise it would attract brake dust like a magnet.
same case with the body..
