Cleaning
R
For cleaning, use plenty of water and a mild
cleaning agent without additives or abrasive
substances (e.g. a car shampoo approved for
Mercedes-Benz).
R
Remove dirt as soon as possible. Avoid rub-
bing too hard in order to not irreparably dam-
age the decorative foil.
R
If there is dirt on the finish or if the decorative
foil is dull: Use the Paint Cleaner recommen-
ded and approved for Mercedes-Benz.
R
Insect remains: Soak with insect remover and
rinse off the treated areas afterwards.
R
Bird droppings: Soak with water and rinse off
afterwards.
R
To prevent water stains, dry a foil-wrapped
vehicle with a soft, absorbent cloth after every
car wash.
Avoiding damage to the decorative foil
R
The service life and colouring of decorative
foils are impaired by:
-
Sunlight
-
Temperature (e.g. hot air blower)
-
Weather conditions
-
Stone chippings and dirt
-
Chemical cleaning agents
-
Oily products
R
Do not use polish on matt decorative foil. Pol-
ishing will have the effect of shining the foil-
wrapped surface.
R
Do not treat matt or structured decorative
foils with wax. Permanent stains may occur.
Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected by
corrosion and damage caused by incorrect care
cannot always be completely repaired. In this
case, contact a qualified specialist workshop.
You can obtain more information on care and
cleaning agents from the manufacturer.
In the case of foil-wrapped surfaces, optical differ-
ences may occur between the surfaces that were
not protected by a decorative foil after removing a
decorative foil.
%
Have work or repairs to decorative foils car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop
(e.g. in a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre).
