CLEANING LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
•
Clean spills and stains as quickly as possible.
•
For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For
more thorough cleaning, wipe the surface with a mild soap and water
solution. In Canada, use Motorcraft® Vinyl Cleaner. Dry the area with
a soft cloth.
•
If the leather cannot be completely cleaned using a mild soap and
water solution, the leather may be cleaned using a commercially
available leather cleaning product designed for automotive interiors.
•
To check for compatibility, first test any cleaner or stain remover on
an inconspicuous part of the leather.
•
Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions,
oil/petroleum-based leather conditioners, or solvents or cleaners
intended specifically for rubber, vinyl and plastics. These products
may cause premature wearing or damage to the leather.
CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS
Note:
Do not use chrome cleaner, metal cleaner or polish on wheels and
wheel covers.
A clearcoat paint finish coats aluminum wheels and wheel covers.
In order to maintain their condition:
•
Clean weekly with Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner. Use a sponge
to remove heavy deposits of dirt and brake dust accumulation. Rinse
thoroughly with a strong stream of water when you have completed
the cleaning process.
•
To remove tar and grease, use Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
•
Never apply any cleaning chemical to hot or warm wheel rims or
covers.
•
Some automatic car washes may cause damage to the finish on your
wheel rims or covers.
•
Industrial-strength (heavy-duty) cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, in
combination with brush agitation to remove brake dust and dirt,
could wear away the clearcoat finish over time.
