Mercedes corporate has the ability to help offset the cost of repairs they deem were required prematurely. One example was the steering wheel in my 500E....the covering was 'delaminating', for lack of a better description, and looked horrible. Well, MBZ picked up 50% of the cost of the rim, a not-insignificant $250.

In your case, I'd howl pretty loudly. Call 1-800-formercedes and let them know that you're quite disappointed in how the finish on your Mercedes has held up...unquestionably they used inferior materials otherwise this wouldn't be happening as frequently as it is.

Let us know what they say.
