Seat Belt Cleaning

[Fat Mike]

Hey Gang,

 

I've spent a bit of time looking for a topic on cleaning seat belts but I came up empty.  I recently bought a '66 Corvette with great interior but the seat belts are dirty.  What product(s) would you use to clean the seat belts?  The belts are original and I want to ensure that I don't remove any of the color. 

 

Thanks!

I think that I would try Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner, test out on a inconspicuous spot first.

Let us know how it worked for you.

Steamer - wrap the head of the steamer with a cheap microfiber towel that you can toss if you want - and hit the belts with steam and scrubbing with the head wrapped in a towel - You can spray down the belts with Carpet/Upholstery cleaner first to help loosen up the dirt but the steam and the scrubbing on the towel will do most of the work for you - Clip the belts open all the way so that they dry OUT of the retractor - they need to be fully dry when retracted

Mike,

 

Nice looking 66.

 

Jason (Ricky Bobby) gave you the best answer for cleaning seat belts.

 

Use that method on many of the older Corvettes I detail for my club with fantastic results usually.

Thanks for the prompt replies.  I have seen steamers used on the car shows on TV but haven't used one.  That may have to change.
