Only use mild, non-caustic soaps,
toilet-type.
Fabric type upholstery: This should be brushed or,
preferably, vacuum cleaned. If there is much general dirt, use
commercial "dry foam", after carefully removing all traces
of dust.
Vinyl trim (and folding canvas hood):
This can be cleaned with a product like "SPIC" or with a
little soapy water.Rinse well, wipe with a dry cloth. We do not
advise the use of products intended to make these parts shine.
Never leave a wet hood in a rolled-up position. A sample of the
upholstery is stapled under the driver's seat. |
Isolated
stains on the upholstery |
|
Stains on the fabric or vinyl trim may
be cleaned with soapy water or water with a little "Teepol"
detergent added.
If they do not dissappear, use 90° alcohol (commercial
methylated spirit), or lead free petrol.
Use squeezed out pads and rub the stains lightly.
Solvents such as accetone, trichlorethylene, etc., are not
recommended.
There are complex cleaners containing absorbent materials which,
used with care, have the advantage of not leaving rings (eg. K2R).

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
parts with 90° alcohol (commercial methylated spirits), or lead
free petrol.
Do not dye the belts as this may affect their strength.
