Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
reflect the newest in technological
standing. You can obtain MB car-
care products at every MERCEDES-
BENZ service station.
Scratches, corrosive deposits, cor­
rosion or damage due to negligent
or incorrect care cannot always be
removed with the car-care products
recommended here. In such cases
it is best to seek aid at your
MERCEDES-BENZ service station.
The following topics deal with the
cleaning and care of your vehicle
and give important “ how-to” infor­
mation as well as references to
recommended MB car-care pro­
ducts.
Car Washing
Before washing your vehicle, re­
move insect residues. The car
should not be washed in the sun.
Use only a mild car wash deter­
gent, such as MB auto shampoo.
Thoroughly spray the car with a dif­
fused jet of water. Direct only a
very weak spray towards the venti­
lation intake. Use plenty of water
and rinse the sponge and chamois
frequently. Rinse with clear water
and thoroughly wipe dry with a
chamois.
If the vehicle has been run through
an automatic car wash - in parti­
cular one of the older installations-
rewipe the recessed sections provi­
ded in the tail lamps (for improved
prevention of soiling) if necessary.
No solvents (fuels, thinners etc.)
must be used.
In the winter, thoroughly remove all
traces of road salt as soon as pos­
sible.
When washing the car underbody,
do not forget to clean the inner
sides of the wheels.
Tar Stains
Quickly remove tar stains before
they dry and become more difficult
to remove.
Window Cleaning
Use a window cleaning solution on
very dirty or oil-stained windows.
Clean windshield wiper blades with
a clean cloth and detergent solu­
tion. Replace blades at least once
or twice a year. Use only mild de­
tergent on the soft top windows.
Plastic Parts, Headliner,
Rubber Parts and MB-Tex
Upholstery Covers
Do not use oil or wax on these
parts.
Seat Belts
The webbing must not be treated
with chemical cleaning agents. Use
only clear, lukewarm water and
soap. Do not dry the webbing at
temperatures above 80° C/176° F
or in direct sunlight. Never bleach
or re-dye the webbing.
Steering Wheel, Instrument Cluster
and Selector Lever
Use a gentle dish-washing deter­
gent or mild detergent for delicate
fabrics as a washing solution. Wipe
with a cloth moistened in lukewarm
solution. Do not use scouring
agents.
