I do not have an extended warranty however, a number of forum members recommend Warranty Direct rather than the MBUSA extended warranty. I understand the WD warranty is refundable on the portion you don’t use and covers more.
If steadfast in wanting a MBUSA extended warranty Courtesy Motors – Chico, CA (Lisa Lehrbaum) 800-655-3535 or 530-893-1300 was offering considerable discounts as compared to other dealerships - not sure if they continue to do so nevertheless worth a phone call.

It won't do anything.
Later on, buy a Zaino kit and detail the car yourself. You will not be disappointed.

That's only a layer or two of Zaino!

Bought mine new for $70k even with the AMG and premium 1 for the 2007 and the engine change was well worth the wait

Waste of money.

Is that hard water that you're spraying your car with? mine only does that with purified water. I have a few coats of liquid glass on my vehicle and it never has repelled water the way yours does.
Seems that you are pretty thorough as even your windshield got the treatment.

2007 CLS 550 and some other MBZ
Nu Finish
Anyone tried Nu Finish? I tried it for the first time yesterday and it seems pretty good. Anyone used it for it long period of time? It claims to be a once a year polish and is not wax.

Ricky, you sold me on the Zaino! Down here in FL everyone needs either the Mr. clean system or a water softener due to hard water which is probably the worst in the US.
