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. Note:
Use only acid-free cleaning materials.
The acid could lead to corrosion.
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 that you
clean them periodically.
