!Do not clean the exhaust pipe with acid-based cleaning agents, such as bathroomcleaner or wheel cleaner.
!Mercedes-AMG vehicles with black exhaustpipes: the black-chrome tailpipe finishersshould not be polished with a chrome polish.They will otherwise lose their black sheen. Foroptimal care, the faceplates should be rubbedwith a lightly oiled cloth after every car wash.Commercially available engine and care oilsare suitable for this.
For heavier soiling, you can apply a fine paint-work polish with a microfiber cloth. Removethe excess polish residue after polishing.
