Treating stains
When treating stains, it may be necessary to clean the entire surface and not just the stain itself. This is especially true if the entire surface has become dirty from normal use. Otherwise, the area that is treated may become lighter than the untreated area. If you have questions or concerns, consult a professional cleaner.

Type of stain Cleaning
Special stains, such as ballpoint pen, marker, nail polish, latex paint, or shoe polish.
– Dab dry with an absorbent cloth. – Clean with a special stain remover designed for leather.

NOTICE
x Stains that have been left in place too long will penetrate the surface of the leather and cannot be removed.
x Never treat leather with solvents, floor wax, shoe polish, stain remover or similar products.
x Wipe up spilled liquids immediately with an absorbent cloth. Liquid can penetrate leather surfaces and seams within a few seconds.
x If the vehicle is left in the sun for a long time, cover the upholstery to protect the leather from direct sunlight and to help prevent fading and discoloration.
Slight discoloration caused by wear and tear is normal.
