Cleaning Leather; Cleaning The Top Of The Instrument Panel; Cleaning Vinyl - Cadillac 2004 CTS Owner's Manual

Here are some cleaning tips:
•
Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.
•
Clean up stains as soon as you can — before they
set.
•
Carefully scrape off any excess stain.
•
Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean
area often. A soft brush may be used if stains are
stubborn.
•
If a ring forms on fabric after spot cleaning, clean
the entire area immediately or it will set.

Cleaning Vinyl

Use warm water and a clean cloth.
•
Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt.
You may have to do this more than once.
•
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if
you don't get them off quickly. Use a clean cloth
and vinyl cleaner. See your dealer for this product.

Cleaning Leather

Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap or
saddle soap and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Then, let
the leather dry naturally. Do not use heat to dry.
•
For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner.
•
Never use oils, varnishes, solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners, furniture polish or shoe polish on leather.
•
Soiled or stained leather should be cleaned
immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into the finish,
it can harm the leather.
Cleaning the Top of the Instrument
Panel
Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces
of the instrument panel. Sprays containing silicones
or waxes may cause annoying reflections in the
windshield and even make it difficult to see through the
windshield under certain conditions.
