Instrument Cluster
Use a gentle dish-washing de­
tergent or mild detergent for de­
licate fabrics as a washing solu­
tion. 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, de­
pending 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 pro­
ducts 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.
