Leather; Instrument Panel, Vinyl, And Other Plastic Surfaces; Care Of Safety Belts - GMC Sierra 2010 Owner's Manual

Leather

A soft cloth dampened with water can be used to
remove dust. If a more thorough cleaning is necessary,
a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution can be
used. Allow the leather to dry naturally. Do not use heat
to dry. Never use steam to clean leather. Never use
spot lifters or spot removers on leather. Many
commercial leather cleaners and coatings that are sold
to preserve and protect leather may permanently
change the appearance and feel of the leather and are
not recommended. Do not use silicone or wax-based
products, or those containing organic solvents to clean
the vehicle's interior because they can alter the
appearance by increasing the gloss in a non-uniform
manner. Never use shoe polish on leather.
Instrument Panel, Vinyl, and Other
Plastic Surfaces
A soft cloth dampened with water may be used
to remove dust. If a more thorough cleaning is
necessary, a clean soft cloth dampened with a mild
soap solution can be used to gently remove dust and
dirt. Never use spot lifters or removers on plastic
surfaces. Many commercial cleaners and coatings that
6-112
are sold to preserve and protect soft plastic surfaces
may permanently change the appearance and feel of
the interior and are not recommended. Do not use
silicone or wax-based products, or those containing
organic solvents to clean the vehicle's interior because
they can alter the appearance by increasing the gloss in
a non-uniform manner.
Some commercial products may increase gloss on the
instrument panel. The increase in gloss may cause
annoying reflections in the windshield and even make it
difficult to see through the windshield under certain
conditions.
