Instrument Cluster
Use a gentle dish-washing detergent or
mild detergent for delicate fabrics as a
washing solution. Wipe with a cloth
moistened in lukewarm solution. Do
not use scouring agents.
Steering Wheel and Gear
Shift Lever
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry
througly or clean with MB Leather
Cleaner.
Upholstery
Using aftermarket seat covers or
wearing clothing that have the
tendency to give off coloring (e.g.
when wet etc.) may cause the
upholstery to become permanently
discolored. By lining the seats with a
proper intermediate cover, contact-
discoloration will be prevented.
Wipe leather upholstery with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly or clean with
MB Leather Cleaner. Exercise
particular care when cleaning
perforated leather as its underside
should not become wet.
Plastic Parts, Headliner
and Rubber Parts
Do not use oil or wax on these parts.
See separate subjects for additional
information.
Paintwork, Painted Body
Components
MB-Paint Protector and Sealer should
be applied when water drops on the
paint surface do not "bead up";
normally in 3 to 5 months depending
on climate and washing detergent used.
MB-Paint-Polish should be applied if
paint surface shows signs of dirt
embedding (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.).
Automatic Antenna
For trouble-free operation of the
automatic antenna, we recommend that
you clean the antenna mast
periodically.
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
lukewarm 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.
Note:
Use only acid-free cleaning materials.
The acid could lead to corrosion.
