Hey everyone. I purchased a brand new 2010 e350 a couple days ago and the next day noticed both my tailights had what appears to be chemical residue or water marks on them. It appears the tailights have some sort of film on them? I tried to clean the marks,which did not work and this is when I noticed the marks were under the film.

I'm thinking of taking it back to the dealer to ask what this is and what they can do. Anyone else notice this on their tailights? I took a picture of my car and tailight, the best I could do, to try to show you all. Thanks for any suggestions or help.

I'd let dealer take a look......they can arrange a swap out. I had similar experience on 2009 911 a couple of years ago.

They should replace them. I'd try using some Cleaner Wax first though. I got a lot of water spots that seemed stained in my rear "chrome" bar (trunk) simply by buffing it out.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm leaving soon to see what they say.I have no cleaner wax or buffer. Any recommendations on wax? Also next on my list in the near future is to get them orange side markers in the front switched to a clear.

I recently used "Eagle One: Nano Wax", I think it's called. Worked well.
