Leather
A soft cloth dampened with
water can be used to remove dust.

necessary, a soft cloth dampened
with a mild soap solution can be
used. Allow the leather to dry
naturally. Do not use heat to dry.
Never use steam to clean leather.
Never use spot lifters or spot
removers on leather. Many
commercial leather cleaners
and coatings that are sold to
preserve and protect leather may
permanently change the appearance
and feel of the leather and are not
recommended. Do not use silicone
or wax-based products, or those
containing organic solvents to
clean the vehicle’s interior because
they can alter the appearance by
increasing the gloss in a non-uniform
manner. Never use shoe polish on
leather.
