Paintwork, Painted Body

Components

Mercedes-Benz approved Paint Care

should be applied when water drops on

the paint surface do not "bead up";

normally in 3 to 5 months, depending

on climate and washing detergent used.

Mercedes-Benz approved Paint Cleaner

should be applied if paint surface

shows signs of dirt embedding (i.e. loss

of gloss).

Do not apply any of these products or

wax if your car is parked in the sun or

if the hood is still hot.

Use the appropriate MB-Touch-Up Stick

for quick and provisional repairs of

minor paint damage (i.e. chips from

stones, car doors etc.).

Light Alloy Wheels

Mercedes-Benz approved Wheel Care

should be used for regular cleaning of

the light alloy wheels.

If possible, clean wheels once a week

with Mercedes-Benz approved Wheel

Care, using a soft bristle brush and a

strong spray of water.

Follow instructions on container.

Note:

Use only acid-free cleaning materials.

The acid could lead to corrosion.

Ornamental Moldings

For regular cleaning and care of very

dirty chrome-plated parts, use a chrome

cleaner.
