cleaning agent without additives or abrasive
substances, e.g. a car shampoo approved for
Mercedes-Benz.

Remove dirt as soon as possible. Avoid rub-
bing too hard in order to not irreparably dam-
age the decorative foil.

foil is dull: Use the Paint Cleaner recommen-
ded and approved for Mercedes-Benz.

Insect remains: Soak with insect remover and
rinse off the treated areas afterwards.
