Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 2023 Manual page 260

The interior of the vehicle must never be
cleaned using acidic or alkaline solvents,
or petroleum ether, gasoline, and other
organic solvents. Failure to observe this
precaution can result in discoloration and
staining. It should be noted that certain
types of cleaning products contain these
compounds. Be sure to read cleaning
product labels carefully.
Air fresheners (liquid, solid, gel, or plate
types) must not come into direct contact
with, or spill onto, interior components such
as the air conditioning or audio system.
Compounds contained in these products can
cause discoloration, staining, or peeling of
paint.
Glass cleaners that contain these compounds
must not be used to clean the inside of the
windshield or window glass. To clean the
glass, wipe it using a cloth wet with warm
or cold water.
To avoid possible permanent discoloration of
light colored seats, Do not let materials with
non-fast colors come into contact with seat
trim materials until these materials are
totally dry. This includes certain types of
casual clothing, such as colored denims,
corduroys, leathers, and suedes, as well as
decorative paper.
With the use of modern trim materials, it is
very important that you use proper cleaning
techniques and cleaners. Failing to do this
on the first cleaning may result in water
spots, spot rings, or setting of stains or
soilage all of which are more difficult to
remove in a second cleaning.
Dust and loose dirt that collect on interior
fabric should be removed often with a
vacuum cleaner or soft bristle brush. Wipe
vinyl or leather trim regularly with a clean,
damp cloth. Normal trim soils, spots,
or stains can be cleaned with these cleaners.
Remember these basic steps before cleaning:
Remove stains as quickly as possible
before they set.
Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change
to a clean area of the cloth or sponge
often. A soft brush maybe used if stains
persist.
Use solvent-type cleaners only in a well
ventilated area: also, do not saturate the
stained area.
If a ring forms after spot cleaning, clean
the entire area immediately.
Follow specific instructions on cleaner
labels.
Vehicle Care
General Cleaning of Soiled or Water
Spotted Fabric Type Trim with Foam
Type Cleaner
Vacuum the area thoroughly to remove any
loose dirt.
Always clean a whole trim panel or section.
Mask surrounding trim along stitch or welt
lines.
Use suds on a clean sponge. Do not brush
wet suede. Do not saturate the material or
rub it harshly. Immediately after cleaning,
remove suds with a sponge and rinse with a
clean wet sponge. Wipe off remaining
residue with a slightly damp absorbent
towel or cloth.
Immediately after wiping, force-dry the
fabric with an air hose. A heat dryer or heat
lamp may be used. Use caution with a heat
dryer or lamp to help prevent damage.
When trim materials with a sheen or luster
finish are dry, wipe the fabric lightly with a
soft, dry, clean cloth to restore its sheen or
luster. For suede, raise nap with a dry scrub
brush and vacuum to remove any final
traces of residue.
