The Cosmoline was normally removed long before the first buyer ever laid eyes on the car. I understand the reason they left it, so they could show that it literally has never been used. The miles that were put on it were likely put on it by the factory when they tested the car after assembly.

That doesn't mean I agree with it. If you buy the car and choose not to use it but to display it, I would assume you would want to remove the Cosmolene. If you don't, then there's really no point to buying the car. You don't use it, it's not attractive to look at, it's just an investment. There are more attractive investments available.

People do some foolish things with cars, but that's probably never going to change.

This is not a barn find, but a time capsule with zero miles
It should be marketed as a brand new car, not a filthy pig.

Read up, that's the factory delivery coating with dust attached. It's a protectant.
