Hi Guys,

Here's the situation, I have a Polar White 2015 Mercedes E350 that has a M/B dealership applied "NanoBased" paint protection on it. The problem is upon close inspection you can see & feel the Black & Rust colored spots in the clear coat finish all over the vehicle.

(See attached photos) The dealer did not properly prepare the finish before the paint protection was applied.

The product applied is called UDS "Diamond Finish" and is suppose to last 2 years.

My question is should I start from scratch and do a "color correction" (SafeWash, tar & iron decon, claybar, polish, wax...) or just live with it?

To be honest, the car looks good from 3 feet away & 90% of people will never see the issue...

Your thoughts & ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I’d start from scratch but if you can live with the minor flaws it has now then save yourself the time/money. If you’re going to correct it I’d wait until winter passes as more damage may happen in the next few months.
 
I'd start from scratch as my OCD would drive me nuts with anything less.

Totally agree with this. Unless you live in the far southern end of the US, I'd wait it out until warmer temperatures return this spring. Not only will it be a more enjoyable experience for you, but any products you use will perform better in milder temperatures as well.

Sadly this isn't uncommon. I recently bought a car and the dealership waxed right over the dirt. It looked like they didn't even bother to totally wash the car.
