Art,

I don't believe so. Owning a Black 300M has taken its toll out on my arms.
Sort of like the karate kid with "wax on, wax off" for four years. I have
not only kept this car clean, but also have maintained the paint by using
polish and wax. I see no evidence of the clear being removed.

Unfortunately, in the direct sunlight, you can see the scratches in the
clear caused by the automatic car wash. What can you do? It's either salt
staying on the car or having it removed but marking the clear.

No more dark colored cars for me. They're beautiful when clean but they
don't stay clean for long.

Ken
