OK I pulled a set of clear seatcovers off a car that has been sitting since 68. I found absolutely perfect vinyl and fabric underneath...amazing...but the clear plastic had a tackiness to it,probably from sitting for some reason. This tackiness is on the seat vinyl.I don't know what this stuff is but it's tough to get off..I have tried a couple things and found Dawn detergent seems to take most of it off...I found that the fabric which is flawless has a bit of a tack to it and I don't want it to attract and keep dirt because of it...any suggestions ???

Get the Magic Eraser. I have never seen a better, more proficient cleaning product in my life.

I used it on my interiors (all of them) leather and vinyl and it works. I would buy a couple boxes of the units but well worth the cheap cost!

Put some GooGone in a spray bottle and LIGHTY mist a small area of the seat.
Let it set a minute then gently go WITH the seat fabric/Vinyl grain,not against it,with an Old white T-shirt.
Wipe in one direction,never back & forth.
Look closely at the T-shirt for any color weakness or unsteadiness.If there is color on the T-shirt,STOP.
If not,continue and work in small sections,never large ones.

Next week,I'll talk about Piston Dust Removal.

Eraser...I am still in shock how well that little bugger cleans things..I buy it by the armfull now and have them all over the shop and house. I want to glue a bunch together on a buffer and see what happens.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I second magic eraser, works like magic. I used it on moldy headrests that has been sitting collecting dust and mold for over 25 years. Came off like magic. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
