 Vehicle care
While in operation, even while parked,
your vehicle is subjected to varying exter-
nal influences which, if gone unchecked,
can attack the paintwork as well as the
underbody and cause lasting damage.
Such damage is caused not only by ex-
treme and varying climatic conditions,
but also by:
 Air pollution
 Road salt
 Tar
 Gravel and stone chipping
To avoid paint damage, you should im-
mediately remove:
 Grease and oil
 Fuel
 Coolant
 Brake fluid
 Bird droppings
 Insects
 Tree resins, etc.
Frequent washing reduces and/or elimi-
nates the aggressiveness and potency of
the above adverse influences.
More frequent washings are necessary to
deal with unfavorable conditions:
 near the ocean
 in industrial areas (smoke, exhaust
emissions)
 during winter operation
You should check your vehicle from time
to time for stone chipping or other dam-
age. Any damage should be repaired as
soon as possible to prevent corrosion.
In doing so, do not neglect the under-
body of the vehicle. A prerequisite for a
thorough check is a washing of the un-
derbody followed by a thorough inspec-
tion. Damaged areas need to be
re-undercoated.
Your vehicle has been treated at the fac-
tory with a wax-base rustproofing in the
body cavities which will last for the life-
time of the vehicle. Post-production
treatment is neither necessary nor rec-
ommended by us for use on Maybach ve-
hicles because of the possibility of
incompatibility between materials used
in the production process and others ap-
plied later.
We have selected car-care products and
compiled recommendations which are
specially matched to our vehicles and
which always reflect the latest technolo-
gy. You can obtain car-care products ap-
proved by us for use on Maybach vehicles
at an authorized Maybach Studio.
