Modern fabrics, such as dark denim, are often not colourfast. Light-coloured upholstery (soft materials or leather) is particularly sensitive to staining caused by these fabrics, even if you are careful. This is not caused by a fault in the upholstery, but by the non-colourfast nature of the garments.
Leaving stains, dirt and other deposits on the surface of vehicle components and cloth seat covers for a long time can make it difficult to clean and treat them. Stains, dirt and deposits may become impossible to remove, particularly if left for a long time.
Additional information and warnings:
- Cleaning and caring for the vehicle exterior
- Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts
WARNING
- The care product must be kept in its original sealed container.
- Read the manufacturer's instructions.
- Never store car care products in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original containers as people finding these containers may not know that they contain care products.
- Keep children away from care products.
- The products can give off harmful fumes during use. They should therefore only be used outside or in well-ventilated spaces.
- Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail varnish remover or other volatile fluids to wash, clean or care for your vehicle. These substances are toxic and highly inflammable.
WARNING
- Vehicle parts must be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Only use approved or recommended cleaning products.
NOTICE
- Cleaning products that contain solvents attack the material and may cause irreparable damage.
- Stains, dirt and other deposits containing aggressive and solvent-based ingredients attack the material and may cause irreparable damage, even if only left for a short time.
- Stains, dirt and other deposits should be removed as quickly as possible and not allowed to dry in.
- To avoid damage, stubborn stains should be removed by a specialist cleaning company.
Suitable care products are available from a Volkswagen dealership.
