jonjon00 Oct 10th, 99, 5:20 PM What is the best way to clean seatbelts. They are original in my 72 ssvelle. I wanted to ask here first before I used something to clean them while smokin a cigarette and accidentally torch them up, ya know? By the way, I dont have a dish washer. Is that the best way? Thanks Jon DG Oct 10th, 99, 5:33 PM Took the buckels off, used soap and water. Looked great after. Have heard the dish washer might have been good for a final wash.

I then rinsed them well and hung them to dry. They came out great. jonjon00 Oct 11th, 99, 9:29 AM Thanks guys. The belts came out great. The rear ones were the worst of them all. The water after I was done was nasty! Jon 374767 Oct 11th, 99, 6:15 PM HAnd Cleaner works great to cut the grease - power wash is also a good way to clean this stuff. And then there is the laundry... it's amazing what a little laundry soap and a rinse cycle will do to this type of stuff DZAUTO Oct 11th, 99, 7:07 PM I just laid mine out on the drive, used Tide, hot water and a scrub brush. Rinsed and rinsed and rinsed and then blew the buckles dry with compressed air and let the rest hang up to dry. Brand new.

Those belts look brand new. Of course my wife was home when that happened, really! ------------------ Team Chevelle Gold #33 ACES Member #02913 Chevelle Club of Michigan Livonia, Michigan | ||
