Cleaning Vinyl

Use warm water and a clean cloth.
•
Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. You
may have to do this more than once.
•
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if
you do not get them off quickly. Use a clean cloth
and vinyl cleaner. See your dealer for this product.

Cleaning 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.
