If the leather cannot be completely
cleaned using a mild soap and water
solution, the leather may be cleaned
using a commercially available leather
cleaning product designed for
automotive interiors.
Note: To check for compatibility, first
test any cleaner or stain remover on an
inconspicuous part of the leather.
You should:
•
remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.
•
clean spills and stains as quickly
as possible.
•
check for compatibility by first
testing any cleaner or stain
remover on an inconspicuous part
of the leather.
Do not use the following products as
these may damage the leather:
•
oil/petroleum-based leather
conditioners.
•
household cleaners.
•
alcohol solutions.
•
solvents or cleaners intended
specifically for rubber, vinyl and
plastics.
CLEANING THE ALLOY
WHEELS
Note: Do not apply a cleaning
chemical to warm or hot wheel rims
and covers.
Note: Some automatic car washes
may cause damage to the finish on
your wheel rims and covers.

Vehicle Care
Note: Industrial-strength or
heavy-duty cleaners in combination
with brush agitation to remove brake
dust and dirt, could wear away the
clear coat finish over a period time.
Note: Do not use hydrofluoric
acid-based or high caustic-based
wheel cleaners, steel wool, fuels or
strong household detergents.
Note: If you intend parking your vehicle
for an extended period after cleaning
the wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive
your vehicle for a few minutes before
doing so. This will reduce the risk of
increased corrosion of the brake discs.
Alloy wheels and wheel covers are
coated with a clear coat paint finish.
To maintain their condition we
recommend that you:
•
Clean the wheels weekly using
Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner.
Apply using manufacturer's
instructions.
•
Use a sponge to remove heavy
deposits of dirt and brake dust
accumulation.
•
Rinse thoroughly with a strong
stream of water when you have
completed the cleaning process.
•
To remove tar and grease, use
Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
