Upholstery
Using aftermarket seat covers or
wearing clothing that have the tenden­
cy to give off coloring (e.g. when wet,
etc.) may cause the upholstery (velour
for example) to become permanently
discolored. By lining the seats with a
proper intermediate cover, contact-
discoloration will be prevented.
Leather Upholstery
Wipe leather upholstery with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly or clean with
MB Leather Cleaner. Exercise particu­
lar care when cleaning perforated
leather as its underside should not
become wet.
Velour 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
example, by using a hair dryer. If in
doubt, please consult your authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.

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 3-5 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
way 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 to
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.
Ornamental Moldings
For regular cleaning and care of very
dirty chrome-plated parts, use a
chrome cleaner.
