Caring for and cleaning the vehicle interior

Introduction
The dye from many items of modern clothing (e.g. dark jeans) is not always
fast. Seat upholstery (material and leather), especially when light-coloured,
may visibly discolour if the dye comes out of clothing (even when used
correctly). This is not an upholstery defect but indicates that the dye in the
item of clothing is not fast.
