dressing items
If the leather upholstery gets wet,

promptly remove moisture with a dry
cloth. Remaining moisture on the

periods may cause deterioration and
shrinkage. When parking the car under
direct sunlight for long periods, shade
the interior using sunshades.

Depending on the product ingredients,
they could cause discolouration, stains,
cracks or peeling of the coating.

soaked in a mild detergent (approx.
5%) diluted with water.
