and twin calipers on front breaks... man i saw it and went... DAMNNnn them breaks r as big as my wheels lol....
one thing which bugged me is the carbon fiber trim inside.... instead of wood... made the car look a bit cheap.... i mean the 57s is meant to be the sportier of the of 57.... but CF just doesn;t look right on a million dollar car

We have no Smart cars here...only stupid ones 
What kind/brand of detailing supplies are recommended by Maybach & Mercedes?
I know what you mean about the grimy prints left by people @ car shows. I once left my car for a weekend and when I went to pick it up it had NOSE prints on it....yuck!

nose prints?? yeh we had em too... because we locked up the SL500 on the last day people kept puttin their face right up2 window 2 see inside...
as for products used... merc didnt give a flyin F what we used... the cars all came in from germany 5 days b4 the show... and lemme tell u the mercs were fine! just a layer of grime and dust... but the matbach had serious swirl and scratch marks on it... we got the buffer out and fixed it up but geezus u shoulda seen it b4..
with the mercs we simply used water to wipe off the dirt and grime, then applied some polylack nano... which brought out a really sweet shine to the cars...
and after that for the finger prints/other crap we used Zeniors Z6 quick detailer.. spray on finger prints and wipe off and ur as good as new.. but towards the last new days of the show i just drenched one cloth in Z6 and had a dry one with me too... so just wax on wax off.. mr. miyagi style... it was much quicker hehe...
hehe so u guys dont know what smart cars are??? hehe lemme dig up some pics for u.... they r like little city cars.... funniest thing is their smallest car has detatchable side panels so u can change it with diferent colours when u want.... yes its plastic.... hehe

That car better be a lot better looking in person, cause from the photo, and sorry to have to blaspheme here, it looks too much like that hyundai xg350-thing.
