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 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 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.).
Automatic Antenna
For trouble-free operation of the
automatic antenna, we recom­
mend to clean the antenna mast
periodically.
Ornamental Moldings
For regular cleaning and care of
very dirty chrome-plated parts, use
a chrome cleaner.
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 accumu­
lation.
Follow instructions on container.
