Cleaning the designo wooden luggage
compartment floor (CLS Shooting
Brake)
!
For cleaning and treating the wooden lug-
gage compartment floor, do not use any of
the following:
R
microfibre cloth
R
household cleaning agents
R
commercially available furniture pol-
ishes, sprays or similar items
R
steam cleaners
Otherwise, the surface of the wooden lug-
gage compartment floor will be damaged.
! Do not apply self-adhesive films or mask-
ing strips to the wooden luggage compart-
ment floor; the solvent residue and plasti-
cisers contained in them may destroy the
paintwork.
Use a lint-free cotton cloth to remove dust,
dirt and fingerprints. If necessary, dampen
the lint-free cotton cloth with a small amount
of clear water.
Use wood oil recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz to treat and protect the
wooden luggage compartment floor. This
revitalises the wooden surface and increases
the resilience of the wood.
To apply the wood oil:
X Using the sanding pad that comes with the
care set, sand the wooden surface in the
direction of the grain.
X Remove the wood dust.
X With a lint-free cotton cloth, distribute a
thin layer of wood oil evenly over the
wooden surface using a simple wiping
motion. Always wipe in the direction of the
grain.
X Then, using a second lint-free cotton cloth,
apply the remaining wood oil.
A new protective coating forms within
approximately four hours.
i A second treatment with the wood oil is
recommended for extremely worn wooden
luggage compartment floor surfaces.
