I have just acquired my s211 Advantgarde S and the vehicle is in perfect shape, with an almost pristine appearance.
However, the headlight switch panel was subpar as it seemed to be a low-quality plastic object reminiscent of a bargain store toy.
I had previously stored a bottle of adhesive solvent under the kitchen sink, which effectively removed a dealer window sticker from my previous vehicle.
In addition to purchasing a replacement trim panel from the nearby Mercedes-Benz store, I decided to proceed with the task.
1. Apply adhesive solvent using a kitchen paper towel, allowing it to penetrate by gently patting and reapplying.
2. Carefully remove the sticky substance by using a different part of the towel that was previously used to apply the solution. It is recommended to work on tiny areas at a time, as this method proved to be the most convenient.
Avoid using a desiccated towel as it will adhere and leave behind cellulose fibres that must also be removed.
In addition, I used a little, sharp plastic knife to extract the viscous substance around the corners of the component, where it intersects with the dashboard panel.
3. Concluded the process by using CarPro Perl to get a much improved medium shine appearance.
Completed!
