To guard against discoloration such as from
clothing, clean leather and provide leather care
roughly every two months.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently be-
cause contamination on such surfaces is sub-
stantially more visible.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and
grease will gradually break down the protective
coating of the leather surface.
Synthetic leather care
Clean synthetic leather regularly with a damp
microfiber cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, dust and road grime particles will
rub into pores and folds, causing significant
abrasion and premature degradation of the
surface.
In case of major soiling, use a moist soft
sponge or microfiber cloth with suitable interior
cleaners.
Immediately remove aggressive substances
such as sunscreen to prevent the synthetic
leather from being altered or discolored.

erage stains, use a moist soft sponge or micro-
