First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all.
Some spots and
stains will clean off better with just
water and mild soap.
If you need to use a solvent:
Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with
a clean, dull knife or scraper. Use very little cleaner,
Iight pressure and clean cloths (preferably
cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside
of
the stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep
changing to
a clean section of the cloth.
When
you clean a stain from fabric, immediately
dry the area with a blow dryer
to help prevent a
cleaning ring.
Fabric Protection
Your vehicle has upholstery and carpet that has been
treated
with Scotchgard TM Fabric Protector, a 3M
product. It protects fabrics by repelling oil and water,
which are the carriers of
most stains. Even with this
protection, you still need
to clean your upholstery and
carpet often to keep
it looking new.
