- The fluid will be sprayed onto the windshield, and the wipers will clear away dirt, grime, and insects.
- For stubborn dirt, a second application may be necessary.
The Mercedes-Benz Summerfit formula is designed to clean effectively without leaving streaks, providing clear visibility.
Maintenance
- Check Fluid Level: Regularly check your windshield washer fluid level, especially before long journeys or during periods of frequent use. Refill as needed using the correctly diluted Summerfit concentrate.
