Optima Leather & "O" Vinyl - Monaco 2009 Knight Owner's Manual

CAUTION
Lacquer solvent will cause immediate
irreparable damage to the vinyl. DO
NOT use wax on vinyl upholstery as
it will cause premature embrittlement
and cracking. Dilute chlorine bleach
before using. DO NOT use full
strength bleach. Paint strippers will
remove the print pattern and damage
the vinyl if it comes in direct contact.
Latex Paint:
Fresh paint can be wiped off with
a damp cloth. Hot soapy water will
normally remove dried latex.
Tar or Asphalt:
Remove immediately. Prolonged contact
will result in a permanent stain. Use a
cloth lightly dampened with mineral
spirits and rub the stain gently, working
from the outer edge of the stain toward
the center to prevent spreading. Rinse
with soap and water.
Crayon, Mustard or Ketchup:
Sponge with mild soap and water. For
stubborn stains that have set, use a cloth
soaked in diluted mild detergent with
gentle rubbing. Any remaining stain
should be washed with diluted bleach.
Rinse repeatedly with cold water.
Chewing Gum:
Scrape off as much gum as possible
using a dull knife. Rub the gum with
an ice cube to harden and for easier
removal. In a well ventilated area, use a
cloth saturated with mineral spirits and
gently rub the remaining gum. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
Blood or Plant Residue:
Rub out spots using a clean cloth
soaked in cool water. For stubborn
spots, use household ammonia and rinse
repeatedly with a clean, wet cloth. DO
NOT use hot water or soap suds as this
will set the stain.
Lipstick, Grease, Oil, Make-Up or
Shoe Polish:
Apply a small amount of mineral spirits
with a cloth. Rub gently. Be careful not
to spread the stain by smearing beyond
the original source. Remove shoe polish
immediately as it contains a dye which
will cause permanent staining. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
Candy, Ice Cream, Coffee, Tea, Fruit
Stains, Liquor, Wine, Tanning Lotion
or Soft Drinks:
Loose material should be gently scraped
with a dull knife. Use lukewarm water
and sponge repeatedly. Any soiled area
that remains after drying should be
gently rubbed with a cloth or dampened
with a mild detergent solution. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
TIP
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to
maintain its appearance and to prevent
the buildup of dirt and contaminants
that may permanently stain or reduce
the life of the vinyl if left untreated.
Frequency of cleaning and procedures
used depend upon the amount of use
and the environmental conditions in
which the vinyl is subjected. Tears or
holes in the vinyl can be temporarily
covered with clear tape to prevent
further damage. Repairs should be
made by a professional upholstery
shop. Commercial repair products
may contain lacquers and cause the
vinyl to become brittle and more
difficult to repair.
