Cleaning The Interior
NOTE: Your McLaren retailer will be
able to recommend products for
cleaning the interior of your vehicle.
Carpet and fabrics
Before cleaning upholstery always test the
cleaning solution on a concealed area.
Clean with diluted upholstery cleaner and a
clean cloth.
Do not polish the upper surfaces of the
dashboard. Polished surfaces are reflective
and can interfere with the driver’s view.
Clean with diluted upholstery cleaner then
wipe with a damp cloth.
Interior painted surfaces
Clean painted surfaces with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products or
polish. Any deep scratches should be
repaired as soon as possible. Contact your
McLaren retailer for advice.
NOTE: Do not use cutting compound,
colour restoration products or polishes
containing a harsh abrasive. These can
scratch the surface and permanently
damage the paint work.
Soft Grain Leather
Before cleaning leather always test the
cleaning solution on a concealed area.
Clean with warm water and a non-
detergent soap or a proprietary leather
cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean, lint-free
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning
products or polish.
Nubuck Leather
To clean surface dirt and marks from
Nubuck leather, gently brush or wipe off
(without rubbing) using a clean & soft
brush or dry white cloth.
NOTE: Do not use any soap solutions
or cleaning fluid of any type as
these would eventually soak into
the Nubuck leather and stain it.
To clean heavier, more ingrained dirt and
marks from Nubuck leather, use a
professional leather cleaning service.
Some colours of Nubuck leather may show
differing signs of UV ageing dependent on
vehicle usage and exposure to sunlight.
Due to the characteristic of Nubuck leather
as a natural dyed material, non-coated
leather, initial use of the vehicle could
cause a level of dye transfer from the
Nubuck leather to clothing.
Enhanced Full Aniline Leather
To clean surface dirt and marks from
Enhanced Full Aniline leather, gently brush
or wipe off (without rubbing) using a clean
& soft brush or dry white cloth.
NOTE: Do not use any soap solutions
or cleaning fluid of any type as
these would eventually soak into
the Enhanced Full Aniline leather
and stain it.
To clean heavier, more ingrained dirt and
marks from Enhanced Full Aniline leather,
use a professional leather cleaning service.
