and rinse the sponge and chamois
frequently.
Tar Stains
Prior to cleaning the engine
compartment make sure to protect
electrical components and connectors
from the intrusion of water or cleaning
agents.
Quickly remove tar stains before they
dry and become more difficult to
remove. MB Tar Remover is
recommended.
Rinse with clear water and thoroughly
wipe dry with a chamois. Do not allow
cleaning agents to dry on the finish.
Window Cleaning
Corrosion protection, such as MB
Anticorrosion Wax should be applied
to the engine compartment after every
engine cleaning. Before applying, all
control linkage bushings and joints
should be lubricated. The poly~V-belt
and all pulleys should be protected
from any wax.
Before running the vehicle through an
automatic car wash, fold back the
outside mirrors to prevent them from
getting damaged.
Use a window cleaning solution on
all glass surfaces. MB Glass Cleaner
is recommended.
If the vehicle has been run through an
automatic car wash -in particular one
of the older installations - rewipe the
recessed sections in the taillamps
(designed to prevent soiling) if
necessary. No solvents (fuels, thinners
etc.) must be used.
Wiper Blades
Clean the wiper blade rubber with a
clean cloth and detergent solution.
Replace blades twice a year; once
before and once after winter.
Car Washing
Do not use hot water or wash your car in
direct sunlight. Use only a mild car
wash detergent, such as Mercedes-Benz
approved Car Shampoo.
Headlamp Cleaning System
In the winter, thoroughly remove all
traces of road salt as soon as possible.
The condition of the wiper blades is
important for satisfactory cleaning of
the headlamp lenses. We therefore
recommend that the blades be
inspected regularly.
Thoroughly spray the car with a
diffused jet of water. Direct only a very
weak spray towards the
When washing the underbody, do not
forget to clean the inner sides of the
wheels.
