Sounds like the clearcoat was terrible but the underlying paint was good.
Mercedes quality going down the shitter man. The designo paints used to be wet sanded and the clear coat / finish corrected before leaving the factory.
Distinctly remember seeing Dieter Zetsche’s black S class with a absolutely mirror finish in the DCX parking garage. Back then they employed someone every day to wax and shine it up if he was visiting.
The guy said if he saw any orange peel on that thing, then someone would get fired lol.
I hope we see Mr Medic in a bomb CLS with bomb paint and bomb wheels soon.
