Land Rover Discovery: Leather upholstery
- Only use cleaning products
specifically designed for use on
leather. Do not use chemical,
alcohol, or abrasive materials, as
they will cause rapid deterioration
of the leather. The use of products
which are not approved, will
invalidate your warranty.
- If you are in any doubt as to which
products to use, consult your
Retailer/Approved Repairer.
Leather should be cleaned and protected
at least every 6 months.
To prevent ingrained dirt and staining,
inspect the seat upholstery regularly, and
clean every 1 to 2 months as follows:
- Wipe off fine dust from the seat
surfaces using a clean, damp, noncoloured
cloth. Avoid over wetting the
leather.
- If this is not sufficient, use a cloth
which has been dampened with warm,
soapy water and then wrung out. Use
only mild non-caustic soap.
- Use Land Rover leather cleaner for
heavily soiled areas. Dry off and rub
with a clean, soft cloth; changing
surfaces regularly.
Use Land Rover leather cleaner several
times a year to maintain the leather's
suppleness and appearance. The cleaner
will nourish and moisturise, and help to
improve the surface's protective film
against dust and substances.
- Dark clothing may stain leather seats,
just like other upholstery products.
- Sharp objects, such as belts, zippers,
rivets, etc., can leave permanent
scratches and scratch marks on the
leather surface.
- Unless spillages, such as tea, coffee,
or ink, are washed away immediately,
permanent staining may have to be
accepted.
If a valet service is used, make sure the
specialist concerned is aware of, and
follows, these instructions precisely.
Note: Some materials/fabrics are prone
to dye transfer, which can cause unsightly
discolouration of lighter coloured leathers.
Affected areas should be cleaned and
re-protected as soon as possible.
