Yes, I take care of the bumpers, the same way I take care of the rest the cars painted surface . Bumpers commonly have clear coated paint. Like the rest the painted bodywork on a car. I've never heard of any warnings about metallized plastics.  < | |

| Marsden Classic MB Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Capital City USA Vehicle(s): Mercedes-Benz | RE: Metallized Plastic So I went to the garage and checked. Three different potions contained the warning, one of which further specified "metallized plastic trim". NO such warning on my Meguiar's wax

Yes! BTW was this warning on the Audi Or the CL. They could be talking about the chrome.

There warning that the trim is metallized plastic. So as,,, not to clean it with an harsh abrasive chrome polish.

I used the waxes containing the statement "safe to all surfaces" including metalized plastic, not the waxes requiring hard rubbing.  Edited by am_beagle 12/4/2008 12:16 PM | |

So.... is it wise that Mercedes made the doors on the CL out of magnesium instead of aluminum?
