Basic cleaning
„ Use a standard dry foam cleaner to clean the
cover of your RECARO racing shell after it has
been in use for a long time. This freshens up
the cover and restores the original shine to the
colours.
„ Always clean the entire surface and not just indi­
vidual areas. This prevents unattractive edges.
„ Allow the covers to dry for at least 48 hours after
cleaning.
Removing dirt stains
„ Remove dirt patches immediately if possible.
„ Clean the cover with a standard commercially
available dry foam cleaning agent or a mild
detergent.
„ Avoid vigorous rubbing with aqueous solutions
as this will roughen the fabric surface.
5.2. Cleaning the racing shell

vents) to clean the racing shell.
„ Make sure that the racing shell does not come
into contact with solvents.

shell. To do this use a moist sponge.
