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 Selector
Lever
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly or clean with MB Leather
Cleaner.
Leather 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.
Paintwork, Painted Body
Components
MB-Gloss Preserver 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.).
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.
Automatic Antenna and Rear Fender
Indicators
For trouble-free operation of the
automatic antenna and rear fender
indicators, we recommend to clean
them periodically.
