VEHICLE
Dust and small particles of dirt lodging in the
pores, grain and seams can have an abra­
sive effect and damage the surface and the
seams. If the vehicle is left standing for a
long time in the sun, cover the upholstery or
use the sun blinds to protect the leather
from direct sunlight and prevent fading or
discoloration.
Depending on the amount of use, clean it
occasionally according to the following
instructions. Never use solvents, wax
polish, shoe cream, spot removers
or similar materials.
For normal cleaning of leather-covered
steering wheels, leather seat upholstery,
etc., slightly moisten a cotton or woollen
cloth
with water and wipe over
the
areas af­
fected.

More stubborn dirt can be removed using a
mild soap solution (pure liquid soap: two
tablespoons dissolved i n
1
quart of water).
It is very important not to let the wa­
ter soak through the leather or pene­
trate into the seams.
Then wipe off with
a soft, dry cloth.
In addition to this regular cleaning, it is
worthwhile treating the leather with a suit­
able leather-care product. This should be
done about twice a year for upholstery in
normal use. Apply these products very spar­
ingly and follow the manufacturer's direc­
tions.
