Land Rover Defender: Door Trim Panel Inspection

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

LEATHER TRIM PANEL

Leather is a natural product, therefore it possesses natural characteristics , such as grain variations, growth and bush marks. These non-weakening marks show the true nature of the hide and are the hallmarks of leather. In order to maintain the beauty of the vehicles natural leather upholstery it requires regular cleaning, which if neglected, may cause deterioration. Where dust and dirt are allowed to accumulate and become ingrained in the surface of the leather, it may become permanently damaged.

Light coloured trim panels can be particularly susceptible to soiling and staining and care should be taken to ensure that where there is evidence of any soiling or staining this should be cleaned immediately using Jaguar/Land Rover approved products. Failure to do this could lead to the stain becoming permanent, this applies to all leather and is not colour specific.

Leather trimmed panels will naturally exhibit areas of creasing and wrinkling over a period of time and is a normal characteristic as the leather ages.
