Hiya 71,

Simple Green, although I think it smells pretty good (as cleaners go), starts to constrict my windpipe when I use it. I've gone to using a product called Holy Cow. And I might add, "Holy Cow, this stuff is great!" It was recommended by the folks who put out Auto Restorer magazine and it is good stuff.

Available at Bi-Mart. And they make a glass cleaner.
I have cancer.

It does not have me.

sorry, couldn't resist a good sci fi reference. i will have to say though that it does work great at cleaning basically anything you put at it.

It would be really ironic if it WAS people. And would serve me me right.

With seats, you do not want to use water-based cleaners, door panels are less critical. Water-based products can damage the horsehair and promote biological growth.
