It has taken 5 months, looking at the car in the garage. But finally getting some seat time and just went past the break-in mileage yea !!! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will have the down pipes installed and ECU. The only thing bugging me about this car is the amount of break dust! Has anybody installed the EBC red pads, as that's what I had installed on my Vipers, and they worked good. Or, is there another after market brake pad you guys are using?

I've put the Porterfield break pads on after seeing JPbenz thread about it.
I've had it for 2 days now, feels better than OEM. Break dust is less as well - but its still there. Depends how hard you drive and break.
I will give the wheels a wash and give it a few days and report back

Nextzett Colortec is better than Sonax. Also Adams Wheel Cleaner.
I just spent 8 hours on Saturday pulling each wheel off, washing, clay bar each wheel, and sealing with Gyeon Rim Q2. I hope this helps with some of the sticking of the brake dust. At least it will make it easier to clean. I also cleaned, clay barred and sealed each caliper while I was at it.

btw bro, the abovementioned products, do not harm my factory black wheels right? I know that sonax doesn't harm them, but what about Nextzett and Adam's?

Just quick question has any body in UK or USA replaced there rear brake pads them self and if so what's the procedure to wind off the hand brake electric solenoid. As the ok and phone button pressed at same time on steering wheel does not work on C205 C63 2016 as it does on W205 ?

Your car looks super shiny. Wheels looks great too. Has the car been ceramic coated or regular polishes and sealants?
I ask because I've got a C63S Edition 1 Coupe in Selenite Grey being delivered next week and not sure whether I'm going to ceramic coat or just use what I'm used to (usual polishes and sealants).
I'm not sure how much reflection and gloss I can achieve with regular polishes and sealants on MB paint. It'll be my first MB.

Not ceramic coated. I have sealed the paint with Wolfgang Paint Sealant 3.0 and topped with Collinite 845. I prefer this combo over the ceramic coatings. Easy to apply and great protection and shine.
