Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
Upholstery
Leather: Wipe leather upholstery
with a damp cloth and dry tho­
roughly. Exercise particular care
when cleaning perforated leather as
its underside should not become
wet.
Paintwork
Do not apply wax if your car is
parked in the sun or if the hood is
still hot. For maximum protection,
the paintwork should be waxed
approximately once every three
months. Use the appropriate
MERCEDES-BENZ Touch-Up Stick
for quick and provisional repairs of
minor paint damage.
Light Alloy Wheels
If possible, clean wheels once a
week with lukewarm water and
autoshampoo (or MB Cleaner/
Preserver). Use an ample supply of
water.
To remove stubborn marks, use
polish or paint cleaner and apply
with buffing cloth or a soft cloth.
Ornamental Moldings
(Chrome-Plated, Aluminium)
For regular cleaning and care of
very dirty chrome-plated parts, use
a chrome cleaner.
Soft Top
Stow only a completely dry top in
the storage compartment. If the top
is kept in the storage compartment
for a lengthy period, unfold and air
it well with the windows down from
time to time.
Remove bird droppings immedia­
tely. The organic acid damages the
material and causes the top to leak.
In general, regular spraying or
cleansing with clear water will do.
Wash top only when heavily soiled,
not every time the car is washed.
Caution: Never use any gasoline,
thinner, tar and stain removers or
similar organic solvents to clean
top or rear window.
Dry cleaning:
Brush top (always from front to
rear) with a soft-bristled brush.
Wet cleaning:
Brush the dry top. Wash with a mild
detergent and an ample supply of
lukewarm water by wiping with a
soft-bristled brush or a sponge
from front to rear. Then cleanse
thoroughly with clear water.
If only parts of the top have been
washed, wet the entire top at the
end of the proceedings and allow
the unfolded and tightened top to
air-dry. Wipe the rear window with a
cloth soaked with a detergent and
rub dry. Do not use sharp-edged
instruments for the removal of ice
and snow.
