    From what I understand the clearcoat finish is infused with microscopic carbon particles that make the finish much more resistent to scratches and swirl marks.

    EDIT:
    here is a link to the MB article.

    on this topic, maybe one of the experts can explain why luxury
    automobiles are not painter in linear polyurethanes ("LP") paints,
    such as awlgrip, sterling or Dupont Emeron ?
    Yes they are a lot more expensive, but high ends boats and jets are painted
    with these paints and they are ultra-hard, glossy and scratch resistant...
