The service life and color of decorative films
R
are impaired by:
Sunlight
-
Temperature (e.g. hot air blower)
-
Weather conditions
-
Stone chippings and dirt
-
Chemical cleaning agents
-
Oily products

Do not use polish on matte decorative film.

Polishing will have the effect of shining the
film-wrapped surface.
Do not treat matte or structured decorative
R
films with wax. Permanent stains may occur.
Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected by
corrosion and damage caused by incorrect care
cannot always be completely repaired. In this
case, contact a qualified specialist workshop.
You can obtain more information on care and
cleaning agents from the manufacturer.
In the case of film-wrapped surfaces, visual differ-
ences may occur between the surfaces that were
not protected by a decorative film after a decora-
tive film has been removed.
% Have work or repairs to decorative films car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop
(e.g. at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center).
