Vehicle care
Wet cleaning:
Brush the top with a soft-bristled
brush.
Wash with clear water or with a mild
detergent and an ample supply of
lukewarm water by wiping with a
soft-bristled brush or sponge from
front to rear.Then rinse thoroughly
with clear water.
Wash the top only when heavily soiled.
If only parts of the top have been washed,
wet the entire top and allow it to air-dry
before lowering it into the storage
compartment.
i
In general, regular spraying or cleaning with
clear water is sufficient to keep the soft top
clean.

For cleaning soft top or wind screen never
use:
gasoline

tar and stain removers

Ornamental moldings
For regular cleaning and care of
ornamental moldings, use a damp cloth.
!
Do not use chrome cleaner on ornamental
moldings. Although ornamental moldings may
have chrome appearance, they could be made of
anodized aluminum that will be damaged when
cleaned with chrome cleaner. Instead, use a
damp cloth to clean those ornamental moldings.
For very dirty ornamental moldings of which you
are sure are chrome-plated, use a chrome
cleaner. If in doubt whether an ornamental
molding is chrome-plated, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
