Cleaning the paintwork
Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected
by corrosion and damage caused by inade-
quate care cannot always be completely
repaired. In such cases, visit a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.

Care and treatment of matt paintwork
If your vehicle has a clear matt finish, observe
the following instructions in order to avoid
damage to the paintwork due to incorrect
care.
These notes also apply to light alloy wheels
with a clear matt finish.
!
Never polish the vehicle or the light alloy
wheels. Polishing makes the paintwork
shiny.
!
The following may cause the paint to
become shiny and thus reduce the matt
effect:
R
Vigorous rubbing with unsuitable mate-
rials.
R
Frequent use of car washes.
R
Washing the vehicle in direct sunlight.
!
Never use paint cleaner, buffing or pol-
ishing products, or gloss preserver, e.g.
wax. These products are only suitable for
high-gloss surfaces. Their use on vehicles
with matt finish leads to considerable sur-
face damage (shiny, spotted areas).
Always have paintwork repairs performed
at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
!
Do not use wash programs with a hot wax
treatment under any circumstances.
i
The vehicle should preferably be washed
by hand using a soft sponge, car shampoo
and plenty of water.
i
Use only insect remover and car shampoo
from the range of recommended and
approved Mercedes-Benz care products.

dows with a damp cloth and a cleaning

solvents or cleaning agents containing sol-
