I'm having the same experience with the clear coats on mercedes in general. Germans must like hard clear coats. What i found to work is megs #105 with a wool cutting pad and then go to #83 or #82 with and swirl removal pad to get rid of the micro marring left by the wool and the compound. Also, don't even bother using a DA, the only thing that can do good corrective work on these clears are rotaries.
I had a 92' 525i for a little while and i remember that it had a hard clear, but not as hard as the mercedes.
