I have it on both cars. Highly recommend it, but maintain it. The installer should provide a spray cleaner to apply every now and again. Don't wax it.
To be fair - the two cars I have it on are driven a total of less than 1,000 miles per year, no rain, no snow. So the applications look absolutely perfect, even several years later.
I get a new C300 next week and will get it also - but am curious if inclement weather folks could chime in about the wear and tear it takes and how it holds up to salt, snow, etc.

I got it on my new '09 C300. The dealer did for his cost (about $350 I think). I do not recommend doing it! I applied it to my '00 BMW 540i/6 but it requires some practice. I used Xpel (3M material) at the time and they graciously sent some new pieces when I messed it up. I eventually got it applied with minimal bubbles. The worst enemy is lint and dirt. If you don't clean the car well and apply it in a non-windy and dust-free environment you will see all that dirt trapped after you apply it. Trust me, it's not worth doing yourself. The only thing I might do myself, if they even make it for the C300, might be headlight and foglight glass protection.

I forgot to mention that both of my clear bras were custom, and not precut kits so its one giant piece of plastic wrap.
The guy told me that the precut for the sport bumper comes in at least three pieces, so you will have edges on the bumper. This will just be troublesome in the future when you get your car waxed, the edges will get wax build up and you will get an ugly yellow line there.
The dealer will most likely hire somebody to do a pre cut application.
