Hearing the suffix “Black-Series” after a Mercedes-Benz lets you know you’re not going to hear about just any Mercedes-Benz, and that is exactly what the 2021 AMG GT Black Series is; anything but the ordinary. Mercedes-Benz calls it their “most AMG AMG ever” and comes with the horsepower to prove it. The 2021 AMG GT Black Series reaches new heights in agility, power, and style. With an incredible AMG V8 engine creating an astounding 720 horsepower, and 590 lb-ft of torque, this Black Series has the most horsepower in a Mercedes-Benz yet. This beast of an AMG goes from 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and has even been proven to reach 124mph in less than 9 seconds. With being the pinnacle of innovation in creating such power as this by Affalterbach’s engineers since the beginning of the brand, it’s fitting that even Sir Stirling Moss himself drove a Mercedes-Benz during his epic win in the Mille Miglia back in 1955, while modern legends such as Lewis Hamilton carry on a similar legacy. The Reinforced AMG Speedshift DCT 7G Dual-Clutch Transmission, AMG Coil-Over Suspension with AMG RIDE CONTROL, and Mechanically Adjustable Rear Spoiler Blades bring control with all of the included speed by ensuring stability and control when cornering or braking at high speed. Mercedes-Benz USA claims that the AMG is so powerful that the only way to truly test it’s capabilities is on a closed track. Although the AMG GT Black Series is road ready, Huntington drivers may not want to just take this sweet ride on a spin on Jericho Turnpike or the LIE, as the GT Black Series is as close as you can get to the real thrill of a race, meant to be enjoyed in an environment that encourages speed. Although we all say it’s what's on the inside that counts, we all can agree that Mercedes-Benz wraps it all up in a pretty package. The aesthetic aspects are to be enjoyed just as much as the speed that the AMG GT provides. This speed demon takes dynamics into consideration, therefore sporting a wide radiator intake, semicircular flics, air curtains, a rear spoiler, and carbon-fiber outlets on the hood, all of which help improve downforce, high-speed control, and come together to create a beautiful vehicle. Being the King of the AMG lineup means that the throne is just as impressive. When sitting in the driver’s side of the AMG Performance Seats, you’ll find Exclusive Nappa Leather/DINAMICA microfiber with contrast topstitching in either orange or silver. You’ll be taking control of the road in no time with the AMG Performance Steering Wheel, with a view of the sleek Aluminum Instrument Panel. Although the 2021 AMG GT Black Series isn’t available for purchase yet, Mercedes-Benz lovers and AMG Addicts across Huntington, Commack, Northport, Brentwood, or all over Suffolk and Nassau County in New York, can stay up to date with Mercedes-Benz of Huntington for more news and information regarding the AMG GT.

This year has been a tough year for most of us living in Long Island, New York, or even anywhere else for that matter, to say the least. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many changes have occurred in our day to day life that have been out of our control, that have affected ourselves, our family, our friends, co-workers, and even interaction with strangers we pass while on our day to day activities. Whether it be the busy mother you see wrestling to keep her children in line at the local Stop and Shop on Jericho Turnpike across the street from our dealership, the kind employee who has informed you that toilet paper is indeed restocked on the shelves at Target in Commack, or even your thoughtful neighbor that had sent over a care package with farm fresh fall goodies from Kerber’s Farm in Huntington, you and the people around you are going through things that we can all relate to. That being said, now is the time when a supportive community is greatly important if not necessary to bring about the feeling that no one is alone in their struggle amidst this pandemic. The reason why so many towns in Suffolk County and Nassau County such as East Northport, Dix Hills, Fort Salonga, Kings Park, Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington, Southampton, Melville, Smithtown, Plainview, Hempstead, Rockville Center, Massapequa, Franklin Square, and more are so loved by those living there is the close-knit community within each one. Since 1988, Alternatives for Children, a non-profit private school organization for children with special needs, has been contributing to this exact sense of community all over Long Island. Alternatives for Children has been a part of many families for so long, providing a nurturing environment for children and their individual needs, while catering to the needs of their families as well. This organization has been a place families have been able to turn to when everything seems to be falling apart. As any of us could understand, you want the best for our children or even if you don’t have children, for the children in the community around us. That exact vision of a welcoming place where those can turn to has truly been exemplified in all of the school locations in Aquebogue, East Setauket, Dix Hills, and Southampton. To help support their cause, Alternatives for Children has set up the Pop Up Party Pavillion, a Silent Auction to help fund the place that many have been able to come to in a time of need. In a time as important as now, it is so wonderful to show compassion and care by bidding or donating to such a wonderful cause. To take part in the auction you can head over to this link: https://cbo.io/bidapp/index.php?slug=alternatives. You can make a difference! Any little bit counts and is greatly appreciated by each and every single person within the organization, and what better way is there to pay it forward within your own community? Here is a brief word from our Dealership Principal, Jim Buzzetta on why Alternatives for Children is a great organization that the Competition Auto Group has decided to sponsor. Happy bidding!

Lewis Hamilton is a name you have probably heard often this year, but who is the man behind the name? Lewis Hamilton is a six-time F1 World Champion British racing driver for the Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas Formula One Team. What is Formula One you may ask? For those that don’t know, Formula One (F1 for short) is an international auto racing sport. It is the highest league of international single-seater auto racing. F1 includes 10 different teams, Scuderia Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull Racing, Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team, Renault F1 Team, Williams Racing, Haas F1 Team, Scuderia AlphaTauri, Sauber F1 Team, and Racing Point Force India F1. The Mercedes-Benz AMG team is based in the United Kingdom where Lewis Hamilton is from. Lewis Hamilton is 35 years old currently, but began his interest in racing since he was 6 years of age starting with remote controlled cars, and moving on to a go kart after being gifted one from his father for Christmas around the same time. Think about that the next time your son is begging for the tiny yet mighty Hot Wheels toy car at the Target in Huntington Station! Hamilton began karting in 1993 at the Rye House Kart Circuit and won many races there. When he was around 10, Hamilton approached McLaren Formula One team boss Ron Dennis for an autograph. This may seem like nothing integral, but the funny thing is that Hamilton introduced himself to Dennis and told him that he had won the British Championship and would one day like to race for the F1 McLaren Team. Dennis told him to phone him after nine years and they would see what would happen. Hamilton’s wish came true. After winning an additional Super One series and his second British Championship in 1998, Ron Dennis fulfilled his promise and contacted Hamilton to join the McLaren driver development programme. Hamilton became the youngest driver to secure a contract with the included option of a future Formula 1 seat in 2000, and he became the European Champion with maximum points. After time moving up through the ranks such as Manor Motorsport and then British Formula 3, with wins such as the Marlboro Masters of Formula 3 at Zandvoort, and fifteen out of twenty wins at the Euro Series champions ASM for the 2005 season, he then moved on to winning the GP2 championship at his first attempt beating competitors like Nelson Piquet Jr., and Timo Glock, and even winning at the notorious Nurburgring track as well. Hamilton was always succeeding despite his unusual circumstances in each race. McLaren took notice of his success and Hamilton was confirmed as the team’s second driver after Juan Pablo Montoya left to compete in NASCAR and Kimi Raikkonen to Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton was finally competing in the big leagues. Hamilton’s first season in F1 as a driver for McLaren in 2007 proved to be very successful. He set multiple records such as most consecutive podium finishes from debut, the joint most wins in a debut season, and the most points in a debut season. His successful first season allowed him to receive a multi-million pound contract to stay with McLaren until 2012. In 2008, Hamilton became the youngest F1 World Champion in history after winning in Brazil. The UK also hadn’t won a world championship since 1996 by Damon Hill. In 2011, Hamilton was loved by so many that he even played a cameo in Disney Pixar’s “ Cars 2” as an animated racecar. By the end of 2012, Hamilton had announced his move to join the Mercedes-Benz team to replace retired Michael Schumacher for the 2013 season. As we know, Hamilton has found great success with the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team to this day. In his first season he won the Hungarian Grand Prix by 11 seconds. The start of the 2014 season began a new era of success for the young and ambitious driver. He won 11 races to receive his second driver’s championship preceding his third driver’s championship in 2015. Lewis Hamilton alongside childhood friend Nico Rosberg allowed Mercedes-Benz to achieve the F1 Contructor’s Championship. After winning yet two more driver’s championships in 2017 and 2018, Hamilton’s tally count was set at five. This is the second highest championship total in F1 history. In 2019, Hamilton conquered his sixth win, setting him on track to join Dale Earnheart Jr, Jimmie Johnson, and Richard Petty, and Michael Schumacher on 7 season titles, a magic number in racing according to NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace in his guest written excerpt on Lewis Hamilton. But can Lewis Hamilton beat Michael Schumacher and his record? Many believe so with his history of triumphs, but we will have to wait and see what the future holds in store for the enthusiastic racer. Wallace’s excerpt on Hamilton gives insight as to why Lewis Hamilton was included on TIME Magazine’s list of The 100 Most Influential People of 2020 along with the likes of athletes Naomi Osaka and Allyson Felix. According to Wallace, other than his success, Lewis’ example as the only black F1 driver inspires many people such as him, the only black driver in NASCAR’s top level, to keep pushing for representation and diversity, which makes it no wonder he was placed in the “Titans” category with icons such as NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Gabrielle Union, Dwayne Wade, and Sundar Pichai. Lewis has also been a major visual part of the Black Lives Matter Movement following the death of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and has been vocal about the subject on his social media accounts (@LewisHamilton on Instagram and Twitter),  and even at F1 events. Lewis’ feverish attitude towards bettering himself and educating others around him has led to his ultimate success as a racer and even just as a person. Additional Fun Facts: Why is Lewis Hamilton #44? : Lewis favors the number so much that he decides to use it instead of #1 like most people would want in the racing league on his car. Where is Lewis Hamilton’s parents from?: Lewis’ mother is white British, and his father identifies as black British. Both are from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. He identifies as black due to his mixed race. Where is Lewis Hamilton from Cars 2? : Lewis Hamilton is seen as the yellow and metallic black car representing Great Britain in the World Grand Prix. What’s Lewis Hamilton’s net worth?: Due to his massive success, he is worth a whopping $285 million. Hamilton truly exhibits “The Best or Nothing" Spirit, which is why he is so suited to race for Mercedes-Benz, and why those in Huntington, Commack, East Northport, Centerport, Brentwood, and surrounding areas love to come into our dealership and find out more about him from our knowledgeable staff, or even pick up pieces of Hamilton’s merchandise like T-Shirts or even decals for young ones from our Parts Boutique to appreciate his success.

After being hidden in a camouflage wrap for an extended period of time, little was known about the new luxury car as mentioned in our previous blog post regarding the new car, but now the time has finally come for all Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts to see the brand new 2021 S-Class that will serve as flagship for the company, and will set the precedent for future models to come. Be prepared to be amazed with the newly announced 2021 World Luxury Car of the Year according to the World Car Awards, the new technology is truly immaculate and never before seen. Performance According to Autoblog, two different engine options are available in the new 2021 S-Class depending on whether you purchase the S 500 4matic, or the S 580 4matic variant. The S 500 features the powerful 3.0L turbocharged inline six-engine, creating 429 horsepower and 384 pound feet of torque with the EQ boost system. On the other hand, the S 580 includes the almighty 4.0 turbocharged twin turbo V8 engine, generating up to 496 horsepower and 516 pound feet of torque. Both the S 500 and S580 will feature a 48 V electrical architecture and a 9-speed automatic transmission for shifting, making the 2021 S-Class even more powerful than it’s predecessors, allowing you to tear through the streets of Huntington limitlessly while also upkeeping the highest degree of luxury. The air suspension will stay standard in the S-Class but the E-Active Body Control feature seen previously in the GLE and GLS, will be the real catcher of attention. This feature individually regulates the damping and spring forces at each wheel. The 4 wheel steering system that will be included makes the new flagship vehicle more agile on long bending roads like ones you may regularly drive on in Cold Spring Harbor by cutting down on the vehicle’s turn radius. Both the S 500 and S 580 variants may have slight differences but both will feature all-wheel drive excitingly. Source: https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2260765 Exterior Now let’s get to the good stuff. After all the patience it required seeing the S-Class under camouflage, everyone is just buzzing to know what the exterior of the 2021 S-Class will look like, and how it might differ from previous models in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. From a first glance, the 2021 model follows the design of a traditional large sedan, but upon a better look, you’ll notice that this S-Class is completely reimagined from anything you may have seen before in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. First off, the car is larger. It’s measurements are 208.2 inches long, 76.9 inches wide, and 69.2 inches tall. This creates a difference in size of 1.3 inches, 2.1 inches, and 0.4 inches respectively. Other than size, the grill seems to have changed shape slightly too, to fit the overall new proportions of the car, and create a better balance. The headlights have also changed, now featuring a three-dot LED running light program, while the orientation of the rear tail lamps go from vertical to horizontal, and the new triangular shape of them help them wrap around the edge of the rear bumper more seamlessly. The rear marker lights have moved down in a similar fashion, to help show off the new slightly wider exhaust tips. The wheelbase is also 2.0 inches longer resulting in more beautiful, shorter overhangs. Wheels are available from 19” sizes to a whopping 21” option with the available AMG package. Source: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-sedan/33/ Mercedes-Benz has kept aesthetic in mind when making every choice in regards to the appearance of the new S-Class, but they did not forget to think of how the exterior may affect the aerodynamic specifications of the car. The door handles are now flushly mounted to the body of the car and electrically powered, which is new for the German company. Since they are electrically powered, they fully emerge when sensing the user’s hand reaching out to open and enter the vehicle. The door handles being flush to the car improves aerodynamics by bringing the coefficient drag to about 0.22, making the new S-Class one of the most aerodynamic cars in the world. Source: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-sedan/30/ Interior S-Classes are prized most for their interiors and the various available features in them that cater to your every beck and call. This makes the following statement hard to believe with such a reputation, but the 2021 S-Class interior includes more than we have even been able to digest. Design Boss Gorden Wagener has even referred to the vehicle as “ The digital S-Class” . The innovation in this model is actually so advanced that it will set the precedent for future lesser Mercedes-Benz models in the future. The cabin of the sedan is luxurious and almost lounge-like with the usual options of Open-Pore wood, Brushed Metals, Illuminated Seat Belt Buckles, Pinstripe Designs, Piano Trim, and ofcourse the signature S-Class Contrasting Leather with Quilted Stitching. The amount of physical buttons have dramatically decreased due to the new massive 12.8 inch touchscreen featuring HVAC controls. Beautiful yet subtle air vents are seen going through the center of the screen while vertical vents line the dashboard. Speaking of the vents, the 2021 model will have a faster warm up time than ever before due to the booster heater powered by the car’s 48V system. Phones and other small items also have a space behind the screen, while the center console features ample amount of space for whatever else you may need to stow away. There is a new fragrance system too, with scents such as “Bamboo Mood” and “Cotton Mood” so that you can relax when you encounter any pollution when getting closer to New York City. The Digital Instrument Cluster has been advanced as well, featuring a 3D effect included in the 3D Technology Package that allows you to see in a new dimension without even having to go to the AMC movie theater in Commack. This effect can be shut off as well if desired by the driver or passenger. Navigation in East Northport is now even easier; Head Up Display can now project Augmented Reality onto the road in front of you. For example, if you need to make a right onto Elwood Road in 50ft on your way to  Greenlawn, the system will project an arrow onto the road prompting you to take a right. This helps you not miss a single turn on any adventure that you may take your S-Class on in Long Island. When you may be taking a longer ride, the 2021 S-Class will also feature Energizing Seat Kinetics in both the front and rear seats. This function energizes passengers with a combination of different massage options, sights on the large touchscreen and instrument cluster, ambient lighting options, and even smells that get released from the car as well, helping you stay awake and more alert on your journey. Without the Energizing Seat Kinetics feature turned on, you still have Heated Seats, Steering Wheel, and armrest options available, so that you can stay toasty and warm on those cold Dix Hills mornings. The sunroof is even able to open or close with the wave of your hand, making the S-Class so purely effortless. Source: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-sedan/30/ We all know that the backseat of an S-Class is just as luxurious as the front. Safety is taken into consideration with new rear seat frontal airbags. With more legroom and even a touch more recline possible, you’ll be more comfortable than ever before. It doesn’t end there, the headrests even have heated cushions that we can imagine would be so wonderful for those long days when your neck just won’t stop hurting. On days such as those, you can drift away and truly immerse yourself into the luxury of the car with the new and optional Burmester 4D Surround Sound System. This system will include 8 resonators and 30 different speakers with metal back lit speaker covers on doors and pillars, one being near the driver’s ear to isolate certain infotainment sounds or navigation directions to improve sound quality. Users can create different sound profiles to customize the sound to their own preference, making the experience special to each person. What makes this a “4D” system though, is the fact that you will be able to feel the music through your seats, an option that can be turned off ofcourse. With the Executive Package in the S580, the backseat of the new luxury car can also have up to three screens equipped with the MBUX infotainment system, two 11.6inch touchscreens on the back of each of the front seats, and one 7inch tablet in the center fold-down armrest with Android technology and even a pair of wireless headphones. The MBUX system on both the front and back tablets is exquisitely unique to Mercedes-Benz. Source: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-sedan/65/ Users will be able to create 7 different profiles for different configurations/preferences such as seat settings, radio presets, speaker settings, addresses, 27 different languages, and more. The system authenticates and recognizes each profile by using voice or facial recognition, fingerprint, or even a PIN. MBUX will also allow you to make commands without saying “ Hey Mercedes” such as “Accept call” or “Decline call”. Not only can you make commands but the new “Chit Chat” feature will allow for more casual and random conversation, similar to Siri on Apple products. If you thought the new futuristic S-Class couldn’t make life any more convenient, you will stand corrected (don’t worry, we were caught off-guard too). The system will also include Toll Transponder Integration. All users have to do is put the physical reader (EZ Pass and etc.)  into the glovebox and the MBUX system system will read it and be able to translate to sensors. All of this plus a 50% faster processing power, and you have a system that rivals the most advanced technology of recent car releases. Driver Assistance The 2021 S-Class will feature an array of different driver assistance programs such as Improved Lane Centering. The unique feature can now follow the road edge instead of just road lines to help you stay centered when driving down the roads of Centerport. Active Steering Assist has also been improved, going up to 130 mph. Adaptive Cruise Control now has an emerging stop maneuver from speeds to up to 80 mph from the previous limit of 35mph. Call that a leap! The S-Class will also feature Predictive Speed regulation while advancements in Blind Spot Assist are showcased with a driver-facing camera that is now implemented in the vehicle. The camera senses and uses intuition when the driver is making specific movements. For example, if you are opening your door to get out into the Walt Whitman Mall, or busy Huntington Village parking lot for the lively nightlife, your car will follow your movements such as your eyes/arms, and body shifting towards the direction of the door, and will activate your Blind Spot Assist warning sooner than usual due to your movements that have been registered. Your S-Class will now not only use your Ambient Lighting feature to beautifully illuminate your cabin in 64 different colors, but it will also use those same lights (now with more LEDs) to be an integral tool in your safety by using warning colors to flash when you’re getting too close to any obstacle. This feature can assist you when using your Active Parking Assist feature with the included 360 degree camera, or even automatic perpendicular and parallel parking. The touch sensitive steering wheel makes using all these additional features even more convenient, because after all, what is the S-Class if not to make your life more convenient, comfortable, stylish, and luxurious? Whether you choose the S 500 or the S 580 in the first half of 2021, with any type of package, you will experience the epitome of luxury that Mercedes-Benz has spent so much time perfecting and executing in the 2021 model of the S-Class. You won’t want to miss the car that will be the start of it all for years to come.

If you know anything about racing, chances are you’ve heard the name Sir Stirling Moss more than just a couple of times, but who is he really? The late Sir Stirling Craufurd Moss was one of the greatest British Formula One race drivers of all time, even though he had never won the World Championship. Winning 212 out of his 529 races, including 16 Grand Prix victories, it’s no wonder that he was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. Moss’s interest in racing began when he was a young boy in London. Being born on September 17th, 1929, he was too young to enlist in World War II, but he was at the optimal age to participate in the renaissance of British race car driving. Racing seemed to run in the family, as Alfred, Moss’s father also raced cars as a hobby and even placed 14th at the Indianapolis 500. His mother Aileen on the other hand, did not seem to share the same interest in racing cars. Alfred’s career as a dentist left the family well-off, making them able to support young Moss’s need for speed. As a little boy, his father’s BMW 328 sports car was the car that started The Moss legacy. He would enter any race that he possibly could with his father’s car, and would later upgrade to the first open-wheeled Cooper 500’s. Out of the 15 races he entered across Europe in his first year, he won 12 of them. These victories led him to join the H.W.M factory Formula 2 team, and he gained success almost instantly. After winning the 1949 and 1950 Formula 2 championships, he knew he had to hire a manager to help him control the success and opportunity he saw in the near future. Moss was irrepressible. Using past bullying to motivate him to be better, Moss did things that many would not dream of doing. Known to have raced in a Jaguar XK120 in torrential rainstorm while in Ireland, he was truly uncontrollable in doing whatever he pleased, and did it well. His appealing personality of being honorable, by vouching for his rival against disqualification of a race, charismatic, by inviting writers and reporters into his home, and daring, by racing in the most rough conditions, even earned him the title of Sports Personality of the Year in 1961. After spending some time in Formula 2, Moss quickly moved up the ranks to participate in Formula 1 by 1954. During that year, Moss became the first non-Americans to win the 12 Hours of Sebring race in Florida by beating his bigger and faster opponents vehicle’s like Ferraris, Lancias, and Aston Martins. In 1955, Mercedes-Benz picked up Moss and debuted him as their newest racer at the Argentina Grand Prix that January. Moss won his first Formula 1 victory in the sixth race of that season. Mercedes-Benz picking up Sir Stirling Moss, quickly pushed him further and further into the spotlight. He was only 25 at the time of one of his most famous victories, the 1955 Mille Miglia. This race took place over 922 miles of Italian countryside, and Moss completed the race with co-driver Denis Jenkinson in a span of 10 hours, 7 minutes, and 48 seconds, with an average speed of 98.53 mph. What stood out about this particular race was the fact that Moss finished in first place 32 minutes ahead of his second place teammate Juan Manuel Fangio. This race was so legendary that Mercedes-Benz created the SLR McLaren 722 in homage to Sir Stirling Moss, and the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR that he drove during the race. The 722 in the nameplate signifies the starting number of Moss and Jenkinson, indicating a start time of 7:22AM. To this day, only 150 units of that model were created all over the world, with only 25 in North America. Each is valued to be over $1million. Those that work at our Huntington dealership or follow our Instagram, were lucky enough to see one of these breathtaking cars come into our Service Department today! It was without a doubt, a once in a lifetime experience. Another prominent win for Moss would be his triumph in the 1957 British Grand Prix at Aintree. This historic achievement led to him and Tony Brooks to become the first British drivers to win a round of the world championship series in a British car. After a series of unfortunate accidents, Moss effectively retired in 1961, but still made appearances at events, and would occasionally race, officially retiring at 81. Over the span of his career he had won 16 Grand Prix races, competed in 529 races and won 212 of them, an outstanding 40% success rate. Despite all his success, circumstances usually seemed to get in the way of Moss and a world championship, resulting in him being called “The Uncrowned King” by Formula 1. For Moss though, a crown was never needed as he continues to have a legacy to this day and continues to inspire many, after unfortunately passing away this April at 90 years old due to illness. His character precisely exemplified what it means to Mercedes-Benz to be “The Best or Nothing”. Still curious to know more about the great Sir Stirling Moss?

With all of the recent concern going on lately regarding COVID-19, and more coronavirus updates happening daily, it is more important than ever for Huntington, Commack, and Long Island drivers to practice perfect hygiene and sanitary procedures. This also applies to the inside of your car. Many people are wondering how they can sanitize and keep the inside of their cars clean during this time to prevent the spread of germs and diseases such as coronavirus. Luckily, us here at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington have compiled some helpful tips to keep your car sanitized while you are on the road. Utilize Soap and Water When it comes to fighting germs, soap and water is always your best bet. While hand sanitizers and alcohol-based cleaners do a good job at eliminating bacteria and germs, they are not ideal for car interiors. Autoblog states, "Conveniently, soap is a key ingredient in a lot of easily obtained items — classic liquid hand or dish soaps (think Dial), for example. The trick here is to avoid any cleaners that are labeled as being free of detergents. If you're already sitting on a cache of automotive cleaning supplies, you're probably in good shape. Basic Armor All wipes, for example, contain a mild detergent. For those with leather interior bits, makeup removal wipes (such as the Biore wipes pictured above) are a great solution; that's because skin care products typically contain moisturizers, which are good for organic trim materials." Especially with the fine-crafted interiors that are in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, you should exercise much caution to what chemicals and cleaners you use in your vehicle. While you want to get rid of any germs lingering in your vehicle, you do not want to damage your interior! You can always utilize our Mercedes-Benz Service Center near Huntington, NY, as we offer exterior and interior detailing services for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Scrub Your Interior Get ready to scrub-a-dub-dub! Utilizing disinfectant wipes or soapy water, it is important to thoroughly scrub hard surfaces that are in your vehicle. It is also important to think about areas where germs might congregate the most. Thenewswheel.com states, "To guide your efforts when cleaning the cabin, think about where droplets would fall when you sneeze or cough. Do you turn your head to the side? Then consider putting a little more effort into cleaning the area around the driver-side window or center console. Also consider where consider where droplets of spit and snot would fall when your passengers sneeze and cough." While normally many people do not pay attention this, especially while driving through the streets of Greenlawn and Dix Hills, it is important to think about all potential areas to clean in your vehicle. Pay Attention to High-Touch Surfaces Think of areas where there is the most touching in your vehicle. This could include door handles, the Mercedes-Benz Touchpad available in vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Mercedes-Benz GLE, climate controls, audio controls, the steering wheel, and much more. These areas are prone to more germs due to being touched the most inside vehicles. If you are in a newer 2020 vehicle such as the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, or the Mercedes-Benz GLC, you might have the MBUX system which includes a touch-screen infotainment system. If so, it is also important to make sure the touch screen is thoroughly cleaned as well due to it being a high-touch surface. Don't Forget Soft Surfaces Many people overlook soft surfaces in their vehicle, but the truth is that many of these surfaces, such as carpeting, seats, and headliners can also harbor germs and bacteria. Especially if you have children that are home due to Suffolk County schools being closed and you are shuffling them around the neighborhood. The CDC recommends using a cleaner that is appropriate for whatever material is being cleaned. For example, if you are cleaning Mercedes-Benz Leather Seats or MB-Tex Seats, you would want to use a Leather Cleaner or Vinyl Cleaner. For vehicle carpets and upholstery, it would be wise to use carpet or upholstery cleaner. The American Chemistry Council and the Center for Biocides Chemistries has a list of products that can be used on soft surfaces that can be referenced for all of your cleaning needs. You can also utilize our helpful Parts Department, that would be able to guide you in the right direction with cleaning supplies for your Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and Mercedes-Benz GLA. Glove Up When cleaning your vehicle, it could be especially helpful to utilize disposable gloves as they help prevent the spread of viruses such as COVID-19. They can be especially helpful for picking up trash and debris that may be in the back of your Mercedes-Benz SUV from your children in the backseat. After cleaning, be sure to dispose of your gloves and thoroughly was your hands.
