Maybe bama does it, all the mercedes deliveries I have seen are on covered trucks. White plastic is only to prevent acid rain damage and industrial fallout damage when it sits in the lots. Doesn't really prevent rock chips.

Speaking of white plastic wrap, my GL is Alabaster. Approximately one month after delivery I discovered the wrap was still on between the sunroof and moonroof. It blends well with Alabaster. Took it off, no paint issues.
