Cab Appearance Paint, Shoe Heel Marks Shoe Polish Paint should be removed immediately. Do not use paint remover or liquid-type brush cleaner on vinyl. An un- printed cloth, dampened with naphtha or turpentine may be used. Use care to prevent contact with parts of the upholstery that are not vinyl. Most shoe polishes contain dyes which penetrate vinyl and stain it permanently. Shoe polish should be wiped off as quickly as possible using naphtha or lighter fluid. If staining occurs, try the same procedure as that under "Sulfide Stains." Sulfide Stains Ball Point Ink Sulfide compounds, such as those found in eggs and some canned goods, can stain after prolonged contact with vinyl.
These stains can be removed by placing a clean, unprinted piece of cloth over the spotted area and pouring a liberal amount of 6 percent hydrogen per- oxide onto the cloth. Ball point ink can sometimes be removed if rubbed im- mediately with a damp cloth, using water or rubbing al- cohol. If this does not work, try the procedure used un- der "Sulfide Stains." Miscellaneous Allow the saturated cloth to remain on the spot for thirty to sixty minutes. For stubborn spots, allow the hydrogen-peroxide saturated cloth to remain on the area overnight. Use caution to prevent the solution from seeping into the seams, or it will weaken the cotton thread.
If stains do not respond to any of the treatments de- scribed above, it is sometimes helpful to expose the vinyl to direct sunlight for up to 30 hours. Mustard, ball point ink, certain shoe polishes, and dyes often bleach out in direct sunlight, leaving the vinyl undamaged.

Do not spread the liq- uid during removal. To prevent soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to remove dust and dirt is recommended.
Spot clean with a mild solvent or upholstery shampoo, or the foam from a mild detergent. When using a solvent or a dry- cleaning product, follow instructions carefully, and clean 8.3
