Nano Paint or Blind Luck?

As mentioned earlier, the wife had a minor accident in our three week old E500. It looked pretty bad from a distance, but on a closer look, turned out that paint from the wall had mostly attached itself to the bumper. So, with some soap and water and a netted mitt, I started washing it... and was very surprised that it came of with relative ease. For the most part, no damage done... there are a few very light streaks left... but barely visible. Anyway, don't know if this was a result of the nano paint or I was just lucky... either way, I'm a happy camper

Before and after pics:

1st pic sure fooled me. I thought they were deep gashes on your paint.

There goes your excuse to get either the Carlsson or Brabus bumpers now. Maybe you should re-scrape it to 'remedy' your cleaning job....
