Hey everyone. Just got my c63 2 weeks ago and I've been enjoying my car very much!

Anyways I have found out that these cars produce quite abit of brake dust. What kind of products do you guys recommend to clean the wheels and get rid of the brake dust?

Also I keep my car outside and would like some suggestion on how to to protect the paint to keep it look nice and shiny. Any good wax/ products/ cleaning tips?

I use P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner for my wheels. Spray it on and leave it for about 10 minutes in the shade so it doesn't dry out. If it is really soiled, use a wheel brush to agitate the surface brake dust so it can penetrate right to the wheel. A pressure washer will rinse all of the brake dust and dirt away.

As for wax, I usually do a two stage Pinnacle polish for fine scratches and swirls, then follow it up with Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax. It's expensive, but it gives the car a showroom shine that lasts. Klasse Sealant is pretty good stuff that you can apply between the polish and wax stages as well. Their All In One product is good before the sealant if you don't want to do or don't need multiple stages.
