Nano Paint - How maintain?

Now that we have the nano technology paint, is there any special way to maintain it? Does it benefit from treatment such as Zaino or other products?

iu truly dont think it will make a difference, i would use zaino, or go to a good hand wash. mb didnt really announce, most mb owners dont know they have, only the enthusiasits, if ou did need to use special car, it would be in your manual, or they would have told you, GL, i would call Sal
Zaino and ask him though.

~One man’s opinion / observations ~
Scratch Resistant Clear Coat:
Mercedes-Benz has developed an innovative new clear lacquer paint technology; this nano-particle clear coat incorporates microscopic ceramic particles in a clear urethane lacquer. The clear coat is factory applied and then ‘baked’ in a high-temperature drying oven forming a hard scratch and fade resistant finish. This paintwork system significantly improves surface gloss over conventional clear coats. It is also provides better protection from the necessary automatic car-washing, and concentrated detergents used, as it's illegal to wash your vehicle and allow water to flow to a storm-drain in Germany due to environmental regulations. Paint film surface maintenance (washing, polish, sealant or wax)is the same as for other systems, repairing surface imperfections will be a little more difficult due to the hard surface finish.
