The biggest contaminate on our cars from new is the metal deposits that land on the paint while on the train from the factory to the boat.
The train's brakes and friction from the wheels touching the tracks causes millions of tiny metal shavings into the air and they land on everything along the way, including our new cars. Unfortuantely, MB does very little wrapping from the factories and much of the body is exposed to the elements along the journey.

Fortunately for me, my cars have never need to go on a train. Port Elizabeth or Port Newark is just across the river from me.
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'

our cars travel on a train in Germany from the factory to port at Bremerhaven.

LOL...No worries. The NY/NJ air we got here is pretty filthy. I can go max 1 week before I have to dust or wash the car again.
I thought that train ride was on a enclosed train ride.
