Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
reflect the newest in technological
standing. You can obtain MB car-
care products at every MERCEDES-
BENZ dealer.
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 autho­
rized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.
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,
remove 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 particu­
lar one of the older installations -
rewipe the recessed sections pro­
vided 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, Wiper Blades
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
detergent on the soft top windows.
To assist with the removal of acco-
mulated road film on the windshield
and improve wiping ability, a cap of
MB auto shampoo can be added to
the 5 liter container of washer sol­
vent.
Plastic Parts, Headliner,
Rubber Parts and MB-Tex
Upholstery Covers
Do not use oil or wax on these
parts.
Using aftermarket seat covers or
wearing clothing that have the ten­
dency to give off coloring (e. g.
when wet, etc.) may cause the
upholstery (velour for example) to
become permanently discolored. By
lining the seats with a proper inter­
mediate cover, contact-discolora-
tion will be prevented.
