Looks like some sort of pollution sprayed up from the road. Does it clean of?.

Is it on both sides ?
Speaking as a forensic scientist and looking at the direction of the ‘splatter’ I would suggest your tyres have thrown said substance up from the road surface (NSS). Check all your tyres to see if there is anymore on them.
Will it not wash off or rub off.
MB won’t be interested as it’s not a paint defect.

It just needs cleaning off. Why would MB need to be evolved, it wasnt on there when you got the car?

It's not a serious question. Is it?

I know what it is...



it is road dirt...


Perhaps it was the butler's week off?

Looks like a light spattering of...bs.

A definite warranty claim IMO.

Wash it with soap and water (as you would normally do). Let dry or dry it. Try petrol or meths or IPA on a rag on the inside edge of the arch (bound to be some there as well). One of those will probably take it off.

Try something like Autoglym Tar spot remover...

Looks like it’s dirt, oil or something else sprayed on to the bodywork by the tyre. As suggested, clean it and then try tar remover (you can’t go wrong with Autoglym).

Have you had the car valeted recently by any chance? Could be something put on the tyres to “blacken” them.

As above, use tar remover...
