Scratches

Natural Markings - Because the leather in the seat comes from genuine
steer hides, there will be evidence of naturally occurring markings, such
as small scars. These markings give character to the seating covers and
should be considered as proof of a genuine leather product.

In order to lessen the appearance of certain scratches and other wear
marks, apply conditioner on the affected area following the same
instructions as in the Conditioning section.

Conditioning

Bottles of King Ranch® Leather Conditioner are available at the King
Ranch® Saddle Shop. Visit the website at www.krsaddleshop.com, or
telephone (in the United States) 1–800–282–KING (5464). If you are
unable to obtain King Ranch® Leather Conditioner, use another premium
leather conditioner.
• Clean the surfaces using the steps outlined in the Cleaning section.
• Ensure the leather is dry then apply a nickel-sized amount of

conditioner to a clean, dry cloth.

• Rub the conditioner into leather until it disappears. Allow the

conditioner to dry and repeat the process for the entire interior. If a
film appears, wipe off film with a dry, clean cloth.

CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS

Note: Do not use chrome cleaner, metal cleaner or polish on wheels and
wheel covers.

A clearcoat paint finish coats aluminum wheels and wheel covers.
In order to maintain their condition:
• Clean weekly with Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner. Use a sponge to

remove heavy deposits of dirt and brake dust accumulation. Rinse
thoroughly with a strong stream of water when you have completed
the cleaning process.

• To remove tar and grease, use Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
• Never apply any cleaning chemical to hot or warm wheel rims or

covers.

• Some automatic car washes may cause damage to the finish on your

wheel rims or covers.

• Industrial-strength (heavy-duty) cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, in

combination with brush agitation to remove brake dust and dirt, could
wear away the clearcoat finish over time.
