Vehicle washing
Prior to cleaning the engine compartment,
make sure to protect electrical compo-
nents and connectors from the intrusion of
water and cleaning agents.
In the winter, thoroughly remove all traces
of road salt as soon as possible.
!
Affixing stickers, adhesive tape or similar
materials to painted body components may
damage the paintwork.
When washing the vehicle underbody, do
not forget to clean the inner sides of the
wheels.
Mercedes-Benz approved Paint Care
should be applied when water drops on the
paint surface do not “bead up”. This should
normally be done every 3 to 5 months,
depending on the climate and washing
detergent used.
Corrosion protection, such as
MB Anticorrosion Wax, should be applied
to the engine compartment after every
engine cleaning. Before applying, all con-
trol linkage bushings and joints should be
lubricated. The poly-V-belt and all pulleys
should be protected from any wax.
Hand-wash
Do not use hot water or wash your vehicle
in direct sunlight.
Mercedes-Benz approved Paint Cleaner
should be applied if the paint surface
shows signs of dirt embedding (i.e. loss of
gloss).
̈
Only use a mild car wash detergent,
such as Mercedes-Benz approved Car
Shampoo.
̈
Thoroughly spray the vehicle with a
diffused jet of water.
Do not apply any of these products or wax
if your vehicle is parked in the sun or if the
hood is still hot.
Direct only a very weak spray towards
the ventilation intake.
̈
Use the appropriate MB-Touch-Up
Stick for quick and provisional repairs
of minor paint damage (i.e. chips from
stones, vehicle doors, etc.).
̈ Use plenty of water and rinse the
sponge and chamois frequently.
