Care of leather
The leather
*
used by BMW is a natural
product of the highest quality, pro-
cessed by the very latest methods,
and will remain in good condition for
many years if correctly treated.
Since leather is an absolutely natural
product, its characteristics and certain
restrictions on its use and special care
precautions must be noted.
Regular cleaning and care are needed,
since dust and dirt, for instance from
the roads, collect in pores and creases,
cause severe abrasion and can lead to
the leather surface becoming prema-
turely brittle.
If exposed to strong sunlight when the
car is parked for a lengthy period,
leather-upholstered seats should be
covered or the windows blanked off to
prevent fading.
To clean, slightly moisten a cotton or
woollen cloth with water and rub the
leather surface gently without allowing
moisture to collect in the seams. Dry
and rub down with a clean, soft cloth.
Leather that has become very dirty can
be cleaned with a mild detergent con-
taining no brighteners (2 tablespoons in
1 litre of water). Dab grease or oil stains
carefully with cleaning-grade benzene,
without rubbing them hard.
After cleaning, leather surfaces should
be treated with a suitable leather care
product
*
to protect them and prevent
the build-up of a static electrical
charge. Shake well and apply a thin
coating with a soft cloth. Allow to dry
and rub with a clean, soft cloth.
In normal conditions, repeat this treat-
ment every six months.

Keep cleaning products out of
the reach of children. Many products
are toxic or flammable, and therefore
hazardous in use. Before using any
such product, study and comply with
the instructions supplied with it, and
note any warnings or precautions
stated on the pack.
When cleaning the car's interior,
always open a door or window. Never
use products or solvents not specified
for cleaning the car.
