Cleaning -> INTERIOR for Your Ford Focus 4 Door Second Generation (2004-2010)

Cleaning  
Be certain to wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in  
contact with certain products such as insect repellent and suntan  
lotion in order to avoid possible damage to the interior painted  
surfaces.  
Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the  
finish of the instrument panel, interior trim and cluster lens.  
Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning  
the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of  
the airbag system.  
If a staining liquid like coffee/juice has been spilled on the instrument  
panel or on interior trim surfaces, clean as follows:  
1. Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean white cotton cloth.  
2. Apply Motorcraft Deluxe Leather and Vinyl Cleaner (ZC-11-A) [In  
Canada use Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Cleaner (CXC-101)] to the wiped  
area and spread around evenly.  
3. Apply more Motorcraft cleaner to a clean white cotton cloth and press  
the cloth onto the soiled area–allow this to set at room temperature for  
30 minutes.  
4. Remove the soaked cloth, and if it is not soiled badly, use this cloth to  
clean the area by using a rubbing motion for 60 seconds.  
5. Following this, wipe area dry with a clean white cotton cloth.  
INTERIOR  
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats equipped with side  
airbags:  
Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.  
Remove light stains and soil with Motorcraft Professional Strength  
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner (ZC-54).  
If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first  
with Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover (ZC-14).  
If a ring forms on the fabric after spot cleaning, clean the entire area  
immediately (but do not oversaturate) or the ring will set.  
Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can  
stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of  
the seat materials.

Cleaning  
Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle’s  
safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt webbing.  
Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning  
the seat-mounted side airbag (if equipped). Such products could  
contaminate the side airbag system and affect performance of the side  
airbag in a collision.  
LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)  
Your leather seating surfaces have a clear, protective coating over the  
leather.  
To clean, use a soft cloth with Motorcraft Deluxe Leather and Vinyl  
Cleaner (ZC-11-A). Dry the area with a soft cloth.  
To help maintain its resiliency and color, use the Motorcraft Deluxe  
Leather Care Kit (ZC-11-D), available from your authorized dealer.  
Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions, solvents or  
cleaners intended for rubber, vinyl and plastics, or oil/petroleum-based  
leather conditioners. These products may cause premature wearing of  
the clear, protective coating.  
Note: In some instances, color or dye transfer can occur when wet  
clothing comes in contact with leather upholstery. If this occurs, the  
leather should be cleaned immediately to avoid permanent staining.  
UNDERBODY  
Flush the complete underside of your vehicle frequently. Keep body and  
door drain holes free from packed dirt.
