Upholstery question

[6219_Rules]

The cloth interior in my 1969 Oldsmobile 98 is showing water spots on the door panels and seats. The kid that had the car before me left the car out in the rain and weather with its windows open...sigh. What product is best to clean this interior and hopefully remove these nasty spots? woolite? K2R? Anyone have any ideas?

but I have not tried it on cloth.

I have a Hoover "Steam Vac Jr." that I use for upholstery and carpet and it does a nice job. Got it at WalMart and it's a handy thing to have. The wife can even use it to clean upholstery in the house (a good angle to use when convincing the better half something like this is needed <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)

If those water stains have been there a while, the SV Jr may or may not get them out. If not, GM offered a powdered cleaner for stuff like this. What you had to do was mix it with water and then clean the fabric section by section, starting at the spot and working your way all way to the edge of the panel. Then you were to force dry it with air. I remember there was some specific caution about not rubbing the satin upholstery too hard so it wouldn't frizz.

You might want to check with a commercial cleaning service and see what they use for problems like this.

Thank you, Bryan. Sounds like 303 is like K2R. I will check it out and see.

OK. I may see what my local upholsterer has to offer. I think, as with the 303, that the stuff GM has to offer sounds like K2R. When you spray K2R on, it smells like dry cleaners fluid and turns to a white powder which you vacuum off. It works but can bleach out the color if used too liberally. I just thought I would see if anyone had another solution. Thanks!! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
