Leather; Instrument Panel; Interior Plastic Components; Wood Panels - Cadillac 2005 CTS Owner's Manual

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.

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.

Interior Plastic Components

Use only a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth
or sponge. Commercial cleaners may affect the
surface finish.

Wood Panels

Use a clean cloth moistened in warm, soapy water
(use mild dish washing soap). Dry the wood immediately
with a clean cloth.

Speaker Covers

Vacuum around a speaker cover gently, so that the
speaker will not be damaged. Clean spots with
just water and mild soap.

Glass Surfaces

Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner or a
liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal
tobacco smoke and dust films on interior glass. See
Vehicle Care/Appearance Materials on page 5-95 .
Notice: If you use abrasive cleaners when cleaning
glass surfaces on your vehicle, you could scratch
the glass and/or cause damage to the rear window
defogger and the integrated radio antenna. When
cleaning the glass on your vehicle, use only a soft
cloth and glass cleaner.
