BMW Z4 ROADSTER Owner's Manual page 325

Upholstery material care
Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
Clean extensively down to the seams. Avoid
rubbing the material vigorously.
Textile care
Use a microfiber cloth for cleaning minor con-
tamination.
Dampen the cloth with water.
Caring for special components
Light-alloy wheels
When cleaning the vehicle, use only neutral rim
cleaners having a pH value from 5 to 9. Do not
use abrasive cleaning agents or steam clean-
ers above 140 ℉/60 ℃. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents
can destroy the protective coating of adjacent
components such as the brake disk.
After cleaning, apply the brakes shortly to dry
them. The heat generated while braking dries
brake disks and brake pads and protects them
against corrosion.
Chrome surfaces
Carefully clean Chrome surfaces, especially in
case of exposure to road salt, with plenty of
water and added auto shampoo as needed.
Rubber components
Environmental influences can cause surface
contamination of rubber parts and a loss of
gloss. Use only water and suitable cleaning
agents for cleaning.
Treat especially worn rubber parts with rubber
care products at regular intervals. When clean-
ing rubber seals, do not use any silicon-con-
taining vehicle care products in order to avoid
damage or noises.

Vehicle Care
Wiper blades
The wiper blades are cleaned by using the
washer system.
Avoid cleaning the wiper blades manually, as
this may reduce wiper performance.
Fine wood parts
Clean the fine wood veneer and fine wood
components solely with a moist rag. Then dry
with a soft cloth.
Kenaf
Only treat parts made of Kenaf fibers using
suitable care products.
Plastic components
NOTICE
Solvent cleaners that contain alcohol or sol-
vents such as lacquer thinners, cold cleaning
agents, fuel and such, can damage plastic
parts. There is a risk of damage to property.
Clean with a microfiber cloth. Dampen the
cloth lightly with water, if needed.
Do not soak the headliner.
Seat belts
Warning
Chemical solvent cleaners can destroy the
fabric of the seat belts and lead to seat belts
no longer having their protective effect. There
is a risk of injury or danger to life. Use only a
mild soap solution for cleaning the seat belts.
Dirty belt straps impede the reeling action and
thus should be avoided for safety reasons.
Use only a mild soap solution for cleaning the
installed belt straps.
Seat belts should only be allowed to retract if
they are dry.
