Someone that cares for their car there
Wonder how Mercedes would explain the rust on the tailgate? Stone chip? Lack of maintenance? Doubt they’d come up with poor surface preparation, poor quality paint or low quality steel. :rolleyes:

I remember having a Volvo 480ES Coupe early 90s , black and after two resprays under warranty being told to stop waxing it as the bonnet chips were only shown when the white wax gathered there!!

I used a dark blue Crayola Crayon on my BMW 3 Series a few years back. It hid the stonechips for quite a few washes :)

There is another option... fit an AMG engine...:rolleyes:

Although 2 minutes with the managements hairdryer and some dental floss is probably the easier option... :p
