Alloy Road Wheels
It is recommended that the aluminium alloy road wheels
are washed with the same preparation as is used to wash the
bodywork. Use a brush having only nylon bristles. During the
winter months, particularly when salt has been used on the
roads for the dispersal of snow and ice, remove all the wheels,
and wash thoroughly to remove accumulated road filth from the
wheels and tires.
Upholstery Cleaning
Cloth Trim: Normal cleaning consists of an occasional light wipe
over with a cloth dampened in a mild soap and water solution; it
is important that the cloth is only dampened, not soaked. Alter-
natively, a proprietary upholstery cleaner may be used.
Leather Trim: The leather should be wiped over occasionally with
a cloth dampened in warm soapy water. Use a mild, non-caustic
toilet soap or soap flakes. Repeat the operation using a fresh
cloth and water only, but avoid soaking the leather. Finish by
drying and polishing with a soft dry cloth. The manufacturers
of the leather do not recommend the use of any hide 'food',
and prohibit the use of petrol or detergents, furniture creams
and polishes.
NOTICE
quality, specifically tanned and dyed for automotive use. As a
natural material, leather ages in various ways and may, over
time, exhibit signs of cracking, scuffing, shrinking, etc. Such
wear is not an indication of a defect, but rather the natural
maturing of the leather.
Seat Belt Cleaning
The seat belts may be sponged with warm water and should
be allowed to air dry naturally before use. Do not use chemical
cleaners and never attempt to bleach or dye the webbing.
Take care to avoid the ingress of foreign bodies into the buckle
mechanism, as there is no provision for disassembly.
