Paintwork, Painted Body
Components
MB-Paint Protector and Sealer should
be applied when water drops on the
paint surface do not " bead up" ; nor­
mally in 3 - 5 months depending on cli­
mate and washing detergent used.
MB-Paint-Polish should be applied if
paint surface shows signs of dirt em­
bedding (i.e. loss of gloss).
MB-Fine Polishing Paste must be
used when the paint surface shows
signs of excessive fading/chalking due
to lack of care, etc..
Do not apply any of these products or
wax if your car is parked in the sun or
if the hood is still hot.
Use the appropriate MB-Touch-Up
Stick for quick and provisional repairs
of minor paint damage (i.e. chips from
stones, car doors, etc.).
Hard Plastic Trim Items,
Headliner, etc.
Pour MB Plastic Cleaner onto soft lint-
free cloth and apply with light
pressure.
Automatic Antenna
For trouble-free operation of the auto­
matic antenna, we recommend to
clean the antenna mast periodically.
Ornamental Moldings
For regular cleaning and care of
very dirty chrome-plated parts, use
a chrome cleaner.
Light Alloy Wheels
MB-Autoshampoo should be used for
regular cleaning of the light alloy
wheels.
If possible, clean wheels once a week
with MB-Autoshampoo, using a soft
sponge and an ample supply of luke­
warm water.
If the MB-Autoshampoo does not
satisfactorily clean the wheels, use
MB-Protective Agent for Light Alloy
Wheels for normal cleaning and MB-
Cleaner for Light Alloy Wheels for
heavier dirt accumulation.
Follow instructions on container.
