Well, if you rub on it with cleaner, wax, etc., and immediately get the paint color on the polishing cloth, that's not clear coat, is it? I even called MB HQ when I needed to paint hood, left front fender and door after deer collision in '96 and asked, "Does my 126 have clear coat?" Reply was, "No, black enamel (040) only, no clear coat."

How could you tell if it wasn't peeling off?

I believe MB started using clear coat with the W126 chassis, certainly by 1986. I've seen several W123's with peeling clearcoat as well. I cannot imagine they would run one color with clearcoat and others without.

Neither my white '87 124 nor my black '91 126 has clear coat; nor did my cactus green '80 123 and '81 ivory 123.
None of my four MBs has had clear coat.

Every other color has a clear coat, why would the white be exempted?

White paint clear coat is peeling off
Means the car is repainted because a 1986 with 147 arctic white has NO clearcoat from the factory.
