TEHAMA Leather
The leather surface on the seat was
not designed to be aggressively
cleaned using any commercial
product. Use a well wrung cloth
dampened with water to remove
dust. Do not use a wet cloth or
saturated the leather surface with
water. Allow the leather to dry
naturally. If a soil occurs that cannot
be completely removed, allow it to
become part of the natural markings
of the leather. The leather is
designed to have a natural
appearance and develop a more
vintage appearance with use.
Do not use heat to dry. Never use
steam to clean leather. Never use
spot lifters or spot removers on
leather. It is very important not to
use any commercial leather
cleaners and coatings that are sold
to preserve and protect leather. Not
only are those products not
necessary, they will permanently
and adversely change the
appearance and feel of the leather.
Never use silicone or wax-based
products, or those containing
organic solvents to clean the
interior. Never use shoe polish on
leather.
Cleaning High Gloss Surfaces
and Vehicle Information and
Radio Displays
For vehicles with high gloss
surfaces or vehicle displays, use a
microfiber cloth to wipe surfaces.
Before wiping the surface with the
microfiber cloth, use a soft bristle
brush to remove dirt that could
scratch the surface. Then use the
microfiber cloth by gently rubbing to
clean. Never use window cleaners
or solvents. Periodically hand wash
the microfiber cloth separately,
using mild soap. Do not use bleach
or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly
and air dry before next use.
Notice: Do not attach a device
with a suction cup to the display.
This may cause damage and
would not be covered by the
warranty.
Instrument Panel, Leather,
Vinyl, & Other Plastic Surfaces
Use a soft microfiber cloth
dampened with water to remove
dust and loose dirt. For a more
thorough cleaning, use a soft
microfiber cloth dampened with a
mild soap solution.
Notice: Soaking or saturating
leather, especially perforated
leather, as well as other interior
surfaces, may cause permanent
damage. Wipe excess moisture
from these surfaces after
cleaning and allow them to dry
naturally. Never use heat, steam,
spot lifters, or spot removers. Do
not use cleaners that contain
silicone or wax-based products.
Cleaners containing these
solvents can permanently change
the appearance and feel of leather
or soft trim and are not
recommended.
