She cleans up nicely

Finally today I got her nice and washed up for some decent pics. C43 with 55 engine swap, Kleeman tuned. I have listed her for sale but boy I sure hope I don't regret it, SMH

C43 AMG with a tune up
Now that you put a lot of heart and passion into your car, you will never get the chance to enjoy her.
You will regret it!

Did some interior cleaning on my car over the weekend.
Took me three days to clean up and finish up as I wasn't in a hurry detailing everything at once.
Leather felt silky smooth with Meguiar's leather conditioner.

Yeah, Meguiars is the way to go. Same product on Grandma's seats and also used on my leather house furniture...

Haha! Thanks. I daily drive this car and it's just not how I want to treat her. I have quite a few other cars and while this one is amazing, It's just time to move on.

I have tried numerous brands, from Turtle wax to Autoglym to Autosmart.
I found my remedy in Meguiars products.

I see you have several cars but one car must be like your favorite son which you like more same goes for one of your cars.
When you did the engine swap, this is something special you did with the C43, this is a special bond between you and your car.

I noticed you have a SC, I thought you only had done a Kleeman ECU tune after the engine swap.
Do you also have the original 1st gen. Kleeman headers or the inferior Chinese made?
Kleeman bombed with 2nd gen. headers.

Oh no, this is the 5.5 NA Motor, Not supercharged. I have the First generation Kleeman headers. Although I removed them due to smog and stuff. They will come with car.
Yeah, she's special but just not suitable for me right now. I bought her like this turn key with the 5.5 in it already.

If you sell your car make sure the C43 goes to a good home.

Previous owner had a cold air intake. I am actually removing it and putting back its factory airbox.
