224 Cleaning and protection
Cl ean ing s ta ins
Stains caused by beverages (e.g. coffee, fruit
juice, etc.) can be treated with a mild deter
gent solution. App ly the detergent so lution
with a sponge. In the case of stubborn stains,
a detergent paste can be applied directly to
the stain and worked into the fabric. After
wards, use copious amounts of clean water to remove the remaining detergent . Apply the
water with a damp cloth or sponge and pat
the fabric d ry w ith an absorbent, dry cloth.
Stains from chocolate or makeup should have
detergent paste rubbed into them. After
wards, remove the soap w ith water (damp
sponge) .
Alcohol can be used to treat stains from
grease, oil, lipstick or a ballpo int pen. Melted
grease or dye must be patted off using ab
sorbent material.
It may be necessary to re
treat the a reas with dete rgent paste and wa
ter.
In the case of genera l so iling of the uphols
tery and cover mater ial, we recommend h iring
a specialist that has the eq uipment to clean
the sea t covers and other fabric surfaces by
shampooing and spray extraction.

Natural leather
Applies to vehicles: with natural leather
Audi makes great efforts to maintain the
properties, natural look and feel of interior
leather.
General
We offer many different types of leather on
o u r vehicles. Most are d ifferent types of nappa
l eather, which has a smooth surface and
comes in various colors.
The intensity of the co lor determines the visu
al characteristics and appea rance. If the sur
face of the leather has a typica l natural look,
then the leather is a nappa leather that has
been left in a relative ly natural condit ion. This
leather offers particularly good comfort and
breathes we ll. Fine veins, closed grains, insect
bites, sk in fo lds, and subt le variations in color
rema in v is ible. These charac ter istics demon
strate that the mate rial is natura l.
Natural nappa leather is not covered by a co l
o r finish.
It is therefo re more sensit ive to soil
ing and wea r, which is someth ing you need to
consider if children, animals or other fac tors
mig ht prove to be particu larly hard on the
l eather . ..,
