Hi everybody!

I noticed that the material of the interior of our SLK is very delicate and hard to keep clean .... I have some small white spots on the door pannels ... i tried to clean with some water... but they are hard to remove....

Any ideas ???

Thanks a lot

Water and a tight knit microfiber towel does the trick. I've also used diluted 303 protectant with good results.
Cheers!

Really ??? wonderfull i'll try this week-end !!!

So you had the white spots too ?

is there anyone else has my problem ?

LETO

for the instrument cluster and sat nav screen, you can use pre packaged optical wipes that you can buy at the drug store (same stuff you use for glasses). Anything else can leave scratches and swirls. The sat nav screen especially is riduculously delicate.

You should have received an interior cleaning cloth with the car. It's very good with a little water as stated.

There is actually a MB TSB out on how to clean.

Net:

- light dirt, use white microfiber cloth included with the car, dampened

- "medium" dirty, use white microfiber cloth included with car, dampened, and with a touch of dishwashing liquid

- "real" dirty, use white microfiber cloth included with car, dampended, with MB ****pit Cleaner (in case the auto-censor takes over, that is "C o c kpit Cleaner")

Personally, my routine: take the cloth, put 2-3 DROPS of Dawn Dishwashing Liquid (the blue stuff), and then take it inside and rinse the cloth with warm water, working the soap all into it, and squeezing until not much soap bubbles left. Then go to town. Don't rub SUPER hard, though. Has worked for the last year, removes, skin flakes, skin oil, hand lotion, dust, dirt, shoe marks, etc.

Unfortunately i dont have the microfiber cloth.... can i use the silk ?

bloflin

What happened to the microfiber? Car didn't come with it, or you lost it? Either way, order another from you MB parts dept. Part number I have is : A000 986 06 62

I don't know anything about using silk (?) to clean with.

I have bought the microfiber and i clean all!! Now it is perfect!! Tahnk you very much!

LETO

where was the microfiber cloth in your cars?

fredfromny

Mine came in the mail. (early 2005 model)

bloflin

Some of the early 2005 models didn't get one by mistake and they were mailed out.

But, it comes in the car in a plastic case that looks a lot like a DVD movie case (except clear/white plastic). It was in the deep (bottom) center armrest compartment.

Don't know if that changed for MY06 or not.

I use Stoner Trim Spray and the white scuff marks disappear.

yOU CAN ALSO BUY MICROFIBER TOWELLS AT A PLACE THAT SELLS AUTOMOTIVE PAINTS AND POLISHES I HAVE A BOX OF THEM WURTH ****PIT CLEANER IS IDENTICAL TO THE BENZ STUFF I THINK 3M MMAKES SOMETHING TOO BUT I FORGET-DAMN CAPS LOCK KEY

reallife

ArmourAll. It will leave a sticky, dust attracting coating that you will never be able to get rid of. BTW, the white microfiber cloth is really a nano-fiber cloth and works better than any microfiber cloth you might buy at an auto parts store.

nobody ???

If it makes you feel any better, I have one near the center vent that I can't remove also, I can remove them all except that one. I just ignore it now, it's not that big of a white mark.
