Wipe clean with aslightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do thisas often as the leather becomes soiled.
sure that the outlets and the underside of thedoors are open. Paint damage can be caused bysmall accumulation of tar, industrial precipita-tion, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, whennot removed immediately. If water alone is notstrong enough to remove the accumulated dirt,use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinsethe surface after washing to remove the solution.Never allow the solution to dry on the paintedsurfaces.
