Case Study: 2022 Mercedes AMG GT 63S 4MATIC+ 4-door Coupe
Today’s case study is a 2022 Mercedes AMG GT 63S 4MATIC+ 4-door Coupe, in MANUFAKTUR Graphite Grey MAGNO.
The car belongs to a new client, who was referred to us by the Front Desk Manager at one of the most prominent Downtown Vancouver hotels.
This owner drives the car mostly by himself, and sometimes with his fiancée. He has an interest in several businesses, and uses the car everyday.
As a result, the Mercedes hasn’t been cleaned in over a year.
The exterior was very dirty, especially the large wheels, but the interior not so much. Regardless of that, the car underwent the same rigorous cleaning regimen as any car does, because we use the same exact 35 steps every single time, which produce consistent quality results.
Now, I don’t know much else about this particular customer, because like I said, he came to us as a hotel guest. This is part of an arrangement we have with a couple of Downtown Vancouver hotels, providing the car cleaning service on demand for their VIP guests.
When the hotel has one such guest requesting a car cleaning, the Front Desk Manager calls me to take care of it. I go and pick up the car, bring it over to our closest shop where we clean it according to the Clean My Car system, and then return the car to the hotel.
This is part of our Valet Service, which we also offer to individual clients. In this case picking up the car from, and returning it to, their home or office. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, you can request a quote here.
Anyways, back to the Mercedes AMG GT 63S.

The matte finish hides the true condition of the exterior of the car very well. The only thing that gives it away is the wheels. Take a closer look at the Before and After shots.
This finish cannot be waxed, or even scrubbed too hard, because this destroys the texture, and creates shiny spots. You have to know what you’re doing, otherwise you can make an irreversible mess.
After the cleaning, the exterior has regained its true colour, and it looks (almost) like a brand new car. It also has a subtle sheen to it, as it’s supposed to have.

Then it was time to take care of the interior.
When you spend time in a car, even if just by yourself, some dirt gets dragged inside, no matter how careful you are.

Quick side note: Many car owners expect an interior in such condition to come out clean with “just a quick vacuum”. This is never the case. Aside from a thorough and extensive vacuuming, the carpets need to be shampooed, otherwise the improvement is minimal at best.
A few hours of solid and meticulous cleaning, and my client’s Mercedes AMG GT 63S is completely transformed…

We always get better results cleaning a higher-end car, such as a Mercedes, which is mostly because of the quality materials Mercedes uses in assembling their cars.
Just like anything else in life, with cars you get what you pay for. In this case, you pay more for an Mercedes than you’d pay for most cars, but you get much better, and more durable finishings.
The interior is now spotless — dirt and debris gone. It also smells fresh.

The Front Desk Manager, and later the car owner when he saw it, were super happy with the results. This is what he had to say about it, on Google reviews:
Alex and Clean My Car deliver consistent results, every single time without fail. The Valet Services also saves us time , allowing us to focus on our Guests. Super happy with this partnership!
