5 Tips for Maintaining Your New Lincoln Interior From Your Lincoln Dealership

Jul 26, 2024
Never underestimate the importance of keeping your Lincoln interior clean and free from dust and dirt that can cause odors and allergies. Below, your Lincoln dealership provides valuable tips on maintaining a pristine interior that will not only look good and smell fresh but also preserve your vehicle’s resale value.

1. Protect the Interior From the Sun

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause significant damage to your Lincoln’s steering wheel, dashboard, and upholstery. Without protecting the interior from the sun’s harmful rays, the dashboard may lose its gloss finish and develop cracks, and the upholstery may fade, crack, or tear.

Use front and rear window protectors or sun shades to shield your vehicle’s interior from the sun. Another option is to tint the windows to reduce the impact of sunlight. Additionally, consider using steering wheel and seat covers if your car stands in the sun for extended periods.

2. Use Specialized Automotive Cleaning Products

Choose specialized automotive cleaners and conditioners to clean your vehicle’s interior that will not harm the surfaces and upholstery. Never use products that contain ammonia. Avoid household cleaners, oil and petroleum-based products, silicone-based leather conditioners, alcohol solutions, or cleaning products intended for vinyl, plastic, or rubber on your upholstery.

3. Keep the Cabin Clean

Keeping your vehicle’s cabin clean will maintain its luxurious appeal. Use a vacuum cleaner to eliminate dust and dirt and the attachments to reach into the various nooks and crannies. Wash the mats thoroughly with carpet shampoo to remove grime, and wait until they are completely dry before replacing them.

When cleaning the dashboard, use a soft microfiber cloth and a UV-protective cleaning product designed for automotive interiors to safeguard the surface from drying out and cracking. Be gentle and take extra care when cleaning the console controls and infotainment system.

4. Take Care of the Leather Upholstery

Gently wipe your upholstery’s leather surface with a soft, damp cloth using Motorcraft Premium Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. After cleaning, make sure to dry the area thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Treat spills and stains promptly.

5. Use Odor Eliminators

If you want your vehicle’s interior always to smell fresh, it’s best to use odor eliminators specifically designed for automotive use. Unlike spray or gel air fresheners, which only mask odors, automotive odor eliminators effectively get rid of unwanted smells. You can always add a gel or spray air freshener afterward.
Keeping your cabin clean and protected might feel overwhelming, but the good news is that you only need to do it once a month. If you clean the interior regularly, it will be much easier to manage without requiring deep cleaning every time.
