    Anybody familiar with Mercedes cars and their AMG lineup know that most of them pack quite a punch in performance. The C63 is one of mine and my wife's favorites due to it's smaller sedan size, aggressive styling, and the almost 500hp doesn't hurt either. This one has just shy of 12k miles and is enthusiast owned.

    Unfortunately the first few thousand miles were owned by one other individual who didn't do much in the way of caring for the exterior. It had the usual layer of swirls, marring, and also some heavy water spotting over most of the flatter panels.

    Unforunately I was not able to get any pictures of it outside in the sun since I leave for work before it's up and usually get home after it's gone down. So these garage pictures are the best "after" shots I've got:
