Umm....perhaps get a new mechanic? It`s because MB uses soft pads to give a
nice pedal feel and they need no warm up time.

I had the "Kleen Wheels" on my `94 SL for about a month, and they did work
well. A trip around the block (I live in the woods... big blocks here!) used
to be sufficient to dirty up the wheels, but they did remain clean when the
guards were installed.
Unfortunately, they also filled the open space one normally sees when
looking at/through the wheels, giving my pristine alloy wheels the
appearance of cheap hubcaps! I could not bear the sight of my baby being
humiliated with the look of hubcaps, so yanked `em out and gave them to a
fellow MB owner who is less persnickety than I about those sorts of things!
