2006 E55 - obsidian black, all options except pano roof - gone but not forgotten
stone chips

hi everyone!

I am new to this forum. Recently purchased an obsidian black '06 E55. I do mostly freeway driving and have been able to really enjoy all this car has to offer. Unfortunately, got a couple of small stone chips on the hood. Has anyone had any experience with repairing these? What's the best option? thanks!

Whatever there's gas in...
When I first bought my S55 I had the 3M Invisible bra put on immediately. Now I have it on all my cars including my current S-Class in my Sig.

If done right and by the right people, it is not visible at all. Check out our forum sponsor: www.premiermobilegroup.com No doubt they are the best in their industry.

I hear Premier also has some kind of new protection for the front windshield as well. I'll be looking into it soon, and I'll give an update when it's done.

Thanks for the plug wily. We will be acquiring a high-grade 4 mils thick film that will protect the windshield from road debris. Product will be ready for installations in mid-April. For those interested, please check our website for product updates - www.premiermobilegroup.com.
