Care of vehicle and cleaning148

In the case of normal surface dirt you can use a foam cleaner. Use a

sponge to spread the foam on the textile surface and to work it into

the material lightly. However, make sure that the textile material

does not become soaking wet. Then dab off the foam with a dry and

absorbent cloth (e.g. a micro-fibre cloth) and vacuum off any

residue once the surface is completely dry.

Removal of stains

To treat stains caused by spilled drinks (coffee, fruit juice or similar)

make up a solution with a mild detergent for sensitive fabrics and

apply it with a sponge. If the stains are difficult to remove, a

washing paste can be applied directly onto the stain and worked

into the fabric. The surface will then have to be wiped with clear

water to remove any residue left by the paste. To do so, use a damp

cloth or sponge and then dab the stain with an absorbent cloth.

Treat chocolate or make-up stains with a washing paste and then

rinse off with water (using a damp sponge).

A spirit-based cleaner can be used to remove grease, oil, lipstick or

ball point pen. Then dab the dissolved grease or colour particles off

with an absorbent cloth or similar. You may also have to treat the

stain once more using washing paste and water.

If the covers or textile trim panels are badly soiled we recommend

that you have them cleaned by a professional cleaning company.

Note

Please make sure you close any velcro fasteners on your clothing, as

these could otherwise damage the upholstery.

Applies to vehicles: with leather upholstery

Natural leather

Audi does everything possible to preserve the special

qualities of leather as a natural product.

General notes

We have a wide selection of leathers. The main type used is nappa

in various forms, that is leather with a smooth surface in a selection

of colours.

The amount of dye used determines the appearance and properties

of leather. If the leather is left in a more natural state, it retains its

typical natural appearance and is pleasant and comfortable for the

seat occupants. Fine veins, healed scars, insect bites, wrinkles and

a subtle variation in shading remain visible; these are the character-

istic features of genuine natural leather.

Natural napped leather does not have a protective surface coating

of dye. It is therefore somewhat more prone to damage. You should

bear this in mind if children or pets often travel in the car, or if there

are other factors that could lead to damage.

Types of leather with a coloured surface coating are likely to be

more resistant to damage. This has a great advantage for day-to-day

use. However, this means that the typical natural characteristics of

the surface are less apparent, though this does not affect quality.

Cleaning and care

Because of the natural properties of the specially selected hides

employed, the finished leather has a certain sensitivity to grease

and dirt, etc. so a degree of care is required in everyday use and

when looking after the leather. Dark clothing (especially if damp or

incorrectly dyed) may stain leather upholstery. Dust and grit in the

pores and seams can have an abrasive effect and damage the

surface of the leather. Therefore leather should be cleaned at

regular intervals, depending on the actual amount of use. When

they have been in use for a certain time, your car seats will acquire
