I have just purchased a new Mercedes CLS from a main dealership. I the believe car was sourced from a common pool to my spec and I paid for the option of paintwork protection. After collecting the car, I discovered the paint work on the front callipers was stripped of paint to bare metal and also generous distribution of bird lime deposits on all flat surfaces etched into paintwork.

The car has obviously been stored for some time in a hostile environment, without protection, and I rejected the vehicle. However, on returning it to dealer, I was persuaded to allow them to attempt to rectify damage. What would your advice be in these circumstances, should I reject this vehicle, or can they fix it?
