FiAT’s specifications for dealing with plastic parts
FiAT recommends that normal cleaning of plastic parts inside the
vehicle is carried out using a cloth that has been wet with a solution
of water and a neutral detergent. To remove greasy or stubborn
stains, use special products for cleaning plastic parts which do not
contain any solvents and were developed so as not to change the
appearance and colour of the components.
Never use alcohol, gasoline or products derived from them to
clean the glass on the dashboard.
When disinfecting the steering wheel, ensure that the alcohol-based
solution does not come into contact with the instrument cluster.
You could first spray the disinfectant on a suitable cloth to avoid
spraying it on the instrument cluster.
