Cleaning leather upholstery
Contact Polestar Customer Support for information on recommended cleaning agents and car care products. Clean regularly and treat stains immediately. It is important to vacuum before using a cleaning agent. Polestar’s leather upholstery is treated to protect its original appearance. Over time, sunlight, grease, dirt, etc. could break down the protective layer. This could result in scratches and cracking. Leather upholstery is a natural product that changes and acquires a beautiful patina over time. Regular cleaning and treatments are required to preserve the qualities and color of the leather. Contact Polestar Customer Support for recommendations on products for cleaning and treating leather upholstery to maintain the leather’s protective coating.
Cleaning the leather upholstery
- Apply the leather cleaner to a damp sponge and squeeze it until the cleaner foams.
- Move the sponge in circular motions to apply the foam to the stain.
- Dampen the stain thoroughly with the sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain and do not rub.
- Dry the stain using a soft towel and let the leather dry completely.
Protecting the leather upholstery
- Apply a small amount of leather protector to a cloth and then apply the protector to the leather using light circular movements.
- Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.
Protecting the leather upholstery makes it better able to withstand sunlight’s harmful UV rays.
