I would doubt 040 was coated, as I found that it is not coated on the 300SE W140. I had to do a severe scuff coat (green pad, then 1000 thru 5000 grit) to deal with pine sap eating through the paint. Compound and polish to get the shine back. #1 boy sort of burnt through while buffing the

Every instance of it I’ve found it’s been single stage, I just wanted to be sure. Someone asked me about cleaning up a finish on a W126 that has it, and I was reluctant to give them advice not being sure if it was clear coated or not. Thanks, everyone! Dan > On Feb 9, 2016, at 5:08 PM, clay

Being a franchise, the operator is giving you whatever warranty, not MACO. I'd be very explicit in respect what I will be getting for my money. A co-worker went to a MACO shop and got a quote for $ 450. He wound up being charged over $ 1,000. The 'quote' did not include materials, preparation and
