Upholstery
Using aftermarket seat covers or
wearing clothing that have the
tendency to give off coloring (e.g.
when wet, etc.) may cause the uphol­
stery (velour for example) to become
permanently discolored. By lining the
seats with a proper intermediate cov­
er, contact-discoloration will be pre­
vented.
MB Tex Upholstery
Wipe upholstery with a damp cloth
and dry thoroughly.
Leather Upholstery
Wipe leather upholstery with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly or clean with
MB leather care. Exercise particular
care when cleaning perforated leather
as its underside should not become
wet.
Velours Upholstery
Pressure marks resulting from
dampness and heat may appear to be
stains. Such marks can be removed
by wiping with a moistened brush,
ironing with a wet cloth or by treating
with a dry shampoo. Do not sit on
damp upholstery. Quick drying is
achieved by applying hot air - for ex­
ample, by using a hair dryer.
If in doubt, please consult your
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.
Paintwork, Painted Body
Components
MB-Gloss Preserver should be applied
when water drops on the paint surface
do not " bead up" ; normally in 3 - 5
months depending on climate and
washing detergent used.
MB-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.).
Light Alloy Wheels
If possible, clean wheels once a
week with MB alloy wheel cleaner and
sealer. Use an ample supply of water.
Ornamental Moldings
(Chrome-Plated, Aluminium)
For regular cleaning and care of very
dirty chrome-plated parts, use a
chrome cleaner.
