Well, people from a South of US probably will not appreciate those pictures since they don't have a winter over there, but folks from a North and all fellow Canadians will understand this ecstatic feeling of having your car clay bared, polished and waxed after a long fking winter

Does it have metalic black door handles? (I have a regular black C63, but the door handles are obsidium. So do a few others. Weird.)

How are you guys doing on your black cars in respects to rock chips and little scuff's from normal driving? I've taken the porter cable to my car (black C63) several times and I keep noticing more and more little "flaws" like tiny rock chips, etc.
I used Pinnacle Souverän and OMG, the paint is so "deep" that its just sick. The next day I spent over $400.00 on stuff from Pinnacle. Then, I hit it with a second coat a month later and

No, I just got this car, like 4 weeks ago. Previous owner drove it in the winter on the MIchelin winter tires. Paint had a lot of swirl marks and scratches

Yep, that's true.... But at least you can reduce them by putting a clear bra. That's what I did right away.

Those pics are hot, perfect lighting for black shots...a far cry from your original pics of when you were about to get the car a few weeks ago. Having fun yet?!

I'm about to try Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze and then Carnauba Moose Wax. Just got them in the mail. This will be the first change in many years from using Zaino.

Taking inspiration from this thread, I also went and waxed my black car today. Didn't have any carnauba wax on hand, so tried the Meguiar's Tech Wax. Results aren't as good, but satisfactory nonetheless. There's something about a jet black C63...it's amazing.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
