Hi,

Any ideas how I can clean the 50 year old vinyl seats and door facings in my Morris Minor?

I have tried upholstery cleaners, flash with bleach, everything I can think of but none really make must difference.

The seats are cream with a leather like finish.

Thanks

I'd suggest trying a 20% solution of Bilt Hamber's Surfex HD, then going stronger in 10% steps if needed.

No probs - it's a highly active surfactant, that's also quite benign to the environment (if such things matter to the potential user/buyer).
What strength did it work for you at, just out of idle curiosity?

About 50/50 seemed to work best, the seats were very dirty.
