<div class="bbWrapper">Today I started cleaning the interior….. well I say today but it was last Friday that I started the cleaning. I spent some time cleaning the seat belts. I tried to use a hard brush but it wasn’t making much of a difference. I pulled the seat belts out, sprayed some chemicals and jet washed them. They look a lot better now.<br /> <br /> Today I concentrated on cleaning the dashboard, steering wheel which I have to say, it has come up like new now!<br /> <br /> I washed the seats also, the carpets and roof lining.<br /> <br /> Cleaned the windows properly and now it’s nearly finished inside also.

<div class="bbWrapper">If anyone has a spare set of floor mats for the C55 AMG, in black, please let me know. I can’t find a set anywhere and the car came with aftermarket ones in beige colour <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤢" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f922.png" title="Nauseated face :nauseated_face:" data-shortname=":nauseated_face:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Thanks for the great thread..I had a C55 from 2008-2012..it’s still on the road as i was contacted by its new owner last year. I believe the final models had paddle shifters instead of the annoying buttons. Do the heated seats work? Had to have mine repaired twice (under warranty) Enjoy the car, looks fab!</div>

There are all sorts of replacements available online , I have yet to know what came from the factory.</div>
