Cleaning the Upholstery
(A sample of cloth can be found stapled under the driver's seat)

Only use mild non-caustic soaps, toilet type.

According to model:

Cloth upholstery:
This should be brushed or, preferably suction cleaned. If the upholstery is generally very dirty, use commercial "dry foam", after carefully removing all traces of dust.

Plastic Trim (and folding canvas hood):
This can be cleaned with a product like "SPIC" or with a little soapy water, followed by a good rinse and wipe with a dry cloth. We do not advise the use of products intended to make these parts shine.

Isolated Spots on Upholstery

Spots on cloth or plastic trim upholstery can be cleaned off with water containing soap or a detergent like Teepol.
If this treatment is unsuccessful, try 90° alcohol (commercial methylated spirit) or lead-free petrol.
Use pads well wrung-out and rub lightly.
Solvents like acetone or trichlorethylene are not recommended. Cpmplex spot removers containing absorbent earths are also obtainable: these have the advantage, when used properly, of not leaving rings (e.g. "K2R").

Seat Belts

These should be cleaned with soapy water, or with water with a little detergent of the "Teepol" type added, taking care not to touch the metal parts. Remove the deepest stains with 90° alcohol (commerically methylated spirits), or with lead-free petrol.
Do not dye the webbing as this may weaken them.

Dashboard Instruments

Use either soapy water, or diluted detergent, to the exclusion of all other products.

Steering Wheel

Use soapy water or water with a detergent of the "Teepol" type added. In no circumstances, use solvents such as alcohol, lead-free petrol, or trichlorethylene.
