It didn't hydrolock in the car wash? Impressive.
and why would it
smh.... wath autovlogs' past videos, his amg hydrolocked thanks to a puddle of water. it was a fucking joke
Why sell your stock wheels? What if you have an incident with the new set and you need to switch back for some time?
Was that a missing lug at 6:33 ?
9:50 thank me later
Raul Leon the real mvp
Thank you 👍
I'm surprised that the engine didn't hydro-lock after that automated car wash XD
How are your lower rear quarters with the wider tires? Problem area with stone chips on my 16 mustang GT :( I am the same way with the stone chips and swirl marks man but don't feel too bad it IS just a car no matter how expensive and they are meant to be driven.
They are fine so far.. :)
I would suggest placing your Benz Center caps on you new rims - just my option
Put a set of winter tires on your AMG stock wheels......no brainer
I wouldnt sell the amg wheels but ok, only cause you wont get them again if you ever want them back
If everyone just sits at home and only make videos about their own cars, the economy will collapse. Luckily, not everyone is a UA-camr.
You sound unemployed
Black is the most dificult color to keep clean. Personally couldn't get black with seeing scratches and have it looking dirty all the time lol but she looks good when she is clean!
i agree...i have a white suv, and i haven't seen any swirl marks at all, but i know they are there...white is best.
Tip: If you don't scratch it you won't see scratches....😳
Didnt watch for a few months, this is the first again.... didnt miss anything.
How much longer are you keeping the fusion and have you figured out what car your getting?
The vava dash cam only records at 20 seconds at a time if the g sensor is set off it will record or if u click the record button but it doesn't record non stop and half the time it doesn't actually work I've had for a month and very dissatisfied with it
He's getting to the point at 9:55
what kind of drying cloth do you use
Hello mike, Any engine modifications or tuning done in the future?
With all the road salt and grime what do you do about washing the under carriage?
Lucky the car didn't get hydrolocked going through the car wash
What towel did you use to dry it off?
whats the name of the song in the car wash?
Mike a quick question? F10 m5 or e92 m3 competition pack.?
Doesn't tire shine make the rubber dry out and crack over time?
Did you take off the carbon fiber grille? I don't remember the chrome emblem being on the carbon fiber version.
what do you thinck of the incoming shelby gt500?
Don’t you have insurance? The windshield should be covered and possibly the rest of the damage. That is why we have it. It’s called comprehensive. You can’t avoid flying rocks, if you did you would be killing others.
What’s the song used during car wash?
@autovlog how much would you sell the rims for ?
Hey..can you make any video...how does it work automatic transmission?!
Why dont has a clutch pedal?
Having a few minor imperfections makes it a real car. It sucks getting chips and such, but damn man you buy it to drive it... Your not putting it in on display in a museum. I get it btw, way OCD on my cars too
M King same
I just washed my car after some winter weather and my OCD was triggered. But a day passed and it's okay. I will fill the chips and move on with my life. Next car goes to wrap straight from the show room though haha.
My thoughts exactly. Although I can relate to Mike's striving for "car perfection" ... it is, in a way...impossible. A car will always be exposed to the elements. Rain, wind, dirt flying up hitting it etcetera... That's just what will happen if you drive it, no matter where you live. Best you can do is just be careful, wash and maintain your car and try to keep it as clean as possible. But spotless? That's just never gonna happen, unless you put it in a museum indeed!
I’m probably the only person that care less how a car looks as long as it drives the way I want it to and is reliable. You can easily make a car look like anything, get it painted etc but it’s harder to make a car drive really good. Now if the car is raggedy and drives like shit then yea it’s a shit then and will need some money to be invested in it
You can prevent the swirl marks by not drying the car with a towel after a touchless clean. A touchless cleans gets rid of 90-95% of the dirt, but the leftovers cause scratches if you pass them with a towel. I hope this helps!
Keep your OEM Wheels! One day you will wish you had.
Wheels look really good on the car. Are you going to paint the bumper prior to wrapping?
It looked like you dried the car with towels after bringing it through the touchless car wash. That is probably why you have swirls. A touchless wash won't get all the dirt off the car.
I saw that too and cringed. I'm not car proud (bikes are a different matter) but you don't use towels.
93.000 views for boring footage??? I switched off after 1:30 mins
3:49 what is that song??? Shazam cant find it.. :(
I can't find it either! I listened to so many Let You Know and Let You Go songs lol sorry!
Has anyone found it yet
What’s the offset of wheels front and rear
I feel your pain with the swirl marks and chips. I've just purchased an Audi Q5 for my wife. I took delivery with no wash and all the wrapping on the vehicle from the ship. I'm currently 25 hrs in to detailing and putting ceramic coating on her car. With another few hours tomorrow, to complete the job. I fully wrapped my RS5 but still got a few chips that went thru the wrap during my 4 years of owning the vehicle. So wrapping will definitely protect your car majority of the time but is not 100% guaranteed and I prefer the look of a un-wrapped vehicle that is highly polished.
Wheels look super. Much better than the stock ones.They fill out the wheel wells nicely. Do you get any rubbing ?
hay bro , can you make a review on a ford focus electric 2014-2017 any model between these years , thanks
That's it! The car is salvaged now... ;-)
What was that tire shine stuff?
Hey autovlog what song did you use one this vid.
how about putting winter tires on the stock rims and keeping them for winter and a high performance summer tires on the new rims?
Hey bro had the same problem with my black car I got paint corrected and installed 3m paint protection film
1/28/18, Now I don't have a Merc, I have a '15 Taurus. when I purchased my car I wanted a full-size spare, Ford dealer charged me $1100. (always thought doughnuts were a cheap shortcut). I'd be interested to know how much you paid for the new wheels on the Merc & how much you want for the others? (How much more would it cost the mfgr to give you a full-size wheel?) & oh yeah........does that megabux AMG come w/a spare?
Those wheels make such a difference.... great choice
Mike please tell us what sunglasses those are?
Put the standard wheels back on asap😂
Mike, I'm glad for you. You have one of your dream cars, but when do we get to see more content than the c63? Besides the car reviews its all been about the c63. Idk just getting a little old to me.
I actually really enjoy this channel, and I think his character is unique - there is something about him and his style that is different than the other car guys which is appealing. Maybe it has to do with him being a regular, down to earth guy. Good work!
I want to buy these black wheels. Can u send to sweden ?
Man, that fitment is perfect... Did you go with the stock offset, or did you use something else?
Also, I've used touch up paint from paintscratch.com with great results... it's the only chip repair I could find that gives you actual tri-coat paint instead of just something "close". It does require more prep and finishing since it needs a primer and clear on top of the paint.
Fantastic car! And love the videos!
Do you have a video on what the wrap actually is? Would it of prevented the damage to the front of your car?
How much for the old rims?
This is just a question since this is a automotive channel. What do y'all think of Rain-X Windshield Cleaner or Washer Fluid? Would wax be a better option to get a better 'water beading' on the windshield?
Francisco Juarez but that would affect the vision...
And would cause problems especially while night driving!
Haven't tried the fluid but I use the wipes and they are awesome
are those the tires from the old car that was totaled?
That windshield is probably more like $2k. Sucks getting chips but it happens and I feel your pain. I bought a new '18 Corvette Grand Sport over the weekend and plan on getting at least the front bumper cover protected with clear wrap. I plan on keeping the car a long time. Xpel is probably what I'll use.
DON’T SELL YOUR OEM WHEELS DUDE!!! YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO PUT YOUR CAR BACK TO STOCK. ITS PENNIES THAT YOU MAKE MAN.
How much for the wheels?
Question why do you want to sell your wheels why don't you just keep them when you want to drive them in the summer are these wheel not Summer Tires
Brad Haughton right. It never makes sense when people sell their original wheels.
When the 2019 Ford ranger comes out are u gonna review them ??
Hi Mike,
I have 2013 MB suv (GL450) i like to keep my car clean as well i usually take to my local car detail shop for wax and polish wondering how much protection of coating would cost which you are talking about in video. BTW, I had small crack at bottom left corner of windshield from one of the road trip. FYI, cost to replace it about $1300 plus taxes from dealership and my insurance will pay only $650 because that's it would cost if you go through them.
Mike, what would you think about a badge-less front grille?
Mike, thank you for the wonderful vlog about going through a car wash and paint chips...I learned a lot
I use tire shine on tires before i wash the car. i spray the tires when washing and when done the sidewalls look like new tires.
I had the same issue with my Silverado. Bought it brand new, ordered a 3M clear film for the hood. Took a few weeks to get and in that time, I got several rock chips. So many so that the hood was repainted under warranty. Installed a bug shield on the newly painted hood and hopefully it will protect it until I can install the film once the weather breaks.
Hey Mike , when you replace the Windshield , the mechanics take the window out and switch the sensors to the new Windshiel. They dont put new one on it.
I work at Mercedes in Europe , so i think dey do the same thing in the USA.
Have a nice day :D
Yes - sounds about right. Also in the UK we have to have windscreen cover/Insurance which pays out in the event of damage; something like a £10 excess to repair or £50 to replace the windscreen if it’s beyond repair. Don’t know about the US though.
Aubs In the U.S. some insurance companies replace glass for free.Mine does, GEICO.
How much are the wheels
Those nicks are huge :( The car is ruined , sorry bro.
Name of song during car wash???????
Hey Mike. Can you find a different pair of shades that aren't bent and sitting crooked on your face or is this your new trademark?
Mike, what do you mean by wrapped AND ceramic coated? I mean if you get a wrap you don't need ceramic coating. And why would you do ceramic coating if you were going to wrap?
adn268 hes gonna do a coating on top of the wrap bro. Not under it :)
Have you checked dipyourcar? They can do little emblems and stuff in different colors and the weels as well. makes it really stand out and is easy as wrap.
Whenever you are behind a truck and a ton of stones come flying from the wheels, and there is no way to avoid being pummeled, it is infuriating!!
Loved the video! I feel the same about my cars when it comes to chips and swirl marks. Most people I know don't care about their car finishes, but I am a little OCD when it comes to mine. Best wishes with yours.....and I can't wait until Spring as well!
Mr. clean uploaded a video!!!
This is good info. Just subscribed! Just so im when you say “wrapped” do you mean vinyl wrapped? Also, you can get it vinyl wrapped and ceramic coated??
I do the same thing with the touch less it's great because it sprays the underbody to remove the salt and no way to wash your car this winter with your home hose
I still like the stock rims idk why you’d sell them, I’d swap them out from time to time
I heard that touchless car wash is bad. Is it true???? Please make video about it
Mike, I’d recommend using heat tape on your pipes and you won’t have to worry about them freezing anymore. I’m definitely a perfectionist like you and I notice every flaw on my vehicles.
Thanks for answering mine and a lot of other peoples question about protecting the C63 Mike.
The fact that you answered our question with a video is super cool.
That’s why i love your channel even though i’m a Tesla guy...lol.
Big thanks brother!
Please check out with that car wash if they recycle wither water. Ton of those places either removes the 6 micron filters or don't change then. In any case the water is dirty down to 6 microns basically the water coming out of the gun is about half a size if table salt. Hopefully they maintain the filters. Thanks for the content
insurance replaces windows for free do they not?
Wow that parker effect on this small youtuber lol
Clickbait for life
That eco sport, in the right colour I think looks pretty cool, I would have one. Also have you seen the new Citeron C3, that's the same, looks funky
The car looks so badass with those new rims. Congrats on the success. Keep the awesome content coming
Holy crap that car looks good. I haven't seen your last few videos so I'm catching up right now. Really like how it turned out.
Did you notice any change in the ride quality since you got those fine looking wheels?
any word on an upcoming video of the guy who bought your old c63s and rebuilt it?
Hi Mike, does your insurance not cover your windshield in the US? Here is the UK they are covered without affecting your policy and no claims bonus. Great looking wheels by the way.
Actually I DO want to see the new EcoSport - not really in the market but would be great for a "third" car for us....
I noticed the badge on the rear saying "4WD". The previous generation EcoSport only came in FWD or am i mistaken?
The new one is available in 4wd also
so the Wheels of the eco sport look cooler than the ones you put on the Mercedes.
I don't know to each his own, I guess.
What’s the story with your old AMG are you still going to meet the guy who bought it?
Loving the new wheels! Totally feel you with the stone chips, I just had my Porsche 944 repainted and I already have a couple, but a full wrap would cost about the same as the paint job!
Window chips can be repaired. Does your insurance not cover it? It does here in the UK. Chip repair is free too.
check the paint behind your front and rear tires, with those new sticky tires you will see some nasty chipping on those areas also....
Mike man I brought my car from Georgia and drove it down to my house in Florida same thing happen to my car it drives me insane when I clean the car and see it on my front bumper
I‘m pretty sure that a professional detailer can touch up those chips and make it flawless (with all the wetsanding, polishing included into the process).
And the windshield can be repaired by yourself. Just buy a windshield repair kit on amazon.
