DISINFECTING
Once the surfaces have been cleaned, in order to eliminate viruses effectively you need to use a disinfectant solution or disinfectant wipe with an alcohol solution of 70% or more. Wipe the surface thoroughly so that the surface stays visibly wet for a minimum of one to four minutes. Again, pay special attention to areas that are touched frequently with your hands (door handles and controls, keys or start
button, steering wheel, gear shift, seats, buttons and knobs on your dash, sun visor, console, cup holders etc.).
NOTE: It is not recommended to use harsh household disinfectants on vehicle surfaces, especially ones that contain any concentration of bleach, or hydrogen peroxide as these can cause irreversible damage to the vehicles interior or exterior surface. To avoid any negative effects disinfectants may have on materials in the vehicle, it is recommended that any disinfectant product is cleaned off with a microfiber cloth or soft, disposable, paper-cleaning product using a BMW Group Car Care product or similar commercial products intended for use on vehicle interior and exterior surfaces. Most car leathers and imitation leathers have urethane coatings for protection, which is safe to clean with alcohol.
