1998 Mercury Grand Marquis oil

If the leather cannot be completely cleaned using a mild soap and water
solution, the leather may be cleaned using a commercially available
cleaning product ªTanners Preserve Leather Cleanerº and a 3M ªType T'
scrubbing pad by using the following steps;
The type of scrubbing pad is very critical because the common 3M
ªScotch Briteº green pad is too aggressive and will damage the
leather surface
²Spray a small amount of the leather cleaner on the pad and rub the
area to be cleaned with the pad using a circular motion. Only clean 1/4
of the area at a time. For heavily soiled areas, spray the cleaner
directly onto the leather (two squirts should be adequate) and rub
with the pad. Repeat if necessary.
²Use a soft, damp cloth to remove the loosened dirt and foam.
²Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use household cleaners, glass cleaner, alcohol solutions or
cleaner intended for vinyl, rubber or plastics. These products can
damage the leather.
In some instances, color or dye transfer can occur when wet
clothing (wool, denim, leathers or other non-colorfast garments)
comes in contact with leather upholstery. If this occurs, the
leather should be cleaned immediately to avoid permanent
staining.
ªTanners Preserve Leather Cleanerº (product number AS-300) is
available from ªFirst Brandsº by calling 1±800±726±1001. This product
may also be available at many local automotive after market stores.
3M ªType Tº Clean And Finish Scrubbing Pads (UPC 04011±01276) are
available through your local 3M distributor. Call 1±800±742±9649 for the
nearest distributor in your area.
