I love the red C63s, but I think the cops just wouldn't leave me alone the way I like to drive and I'm not even Black, go figure (just a little racial joke and sadly true around here)

Unfortuantely, MB does very little wrapping from the factories and much of the body is exposed to the elements along the journey.

It might be very little wrapping, but all new car has a wrapper on the hood, trunk and top of the car. I guess it's better safe than sorry. I've run my hand across my car and there are very little debris embedded in on my clearcoat.

That's the train ride I was talking about--most of the vehicles are transported by truck once in the US.

I'm not making this $h!t up, I promise

BTW your car picked up more debris from the air in NJ than it did on the rest of the trip--just bustin' bro, a little NJ humor for ya
I better quit now before I make more 'friends'
