Prevent caustic solutions such as per-
fume and cosmetic oil from contacting
the dashboard because they may cause
damage or discoloration. If they do con-
tact the dashboard, wipe them off imme-
diately. See the instructions that follow for
the proper way to clean vinyl.
Vinyl
In the normal course of use, leather
upholstered surfaces will, like any mate-
rial, pick-up dust and dirt. This dust and
dirt must be cleaned off or it may work
into the surface of the leather, causing
damage.
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl cleaner.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean with a mild soap solution recom-
mended for upholstery or carpets.
Remove fresh spots immediately with a
fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do not
receive immediate attention, the fabric
can be stained and its color can be
affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties
can be reduced if the material is not
properly maintained.
CAUTION
Fine leather needs care, and should be
cleaned when necessary. Washing
leather thoroughly with soap and water
will keep your leather lustrous, beautiful
and ensure you have many years of
wear.
Take a piece of cheese cloth and using
any mild soap and lukewarm water, work
up a good lather. Thoroughly wash the
leather. Wipe clean with a slightly damp
cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do this as
often as the leather becomes soiled.
Never allow water or other liquids
to
come
in
contact
with
electrical/electronic components
inside the vehicle as this may dam-
age them.
CAUTION
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect
the fabric’s appearance and fire-
resistant properties.
During tanning operations, sufficient oils
are incorporated through processing that
none need be applied during the life of
the leather. Oil applied to the finished
surface will in no way help the leather
and may do more harm than good.
Varnishes and furniture polishes should
never be used under any conditions.
