That is slick as @#$$%

Thank you, Thank you. I am going to start a thread for some of the things I've done, I feel like I keep crashing this thread. I did switched LED lighting to the inside of the center console, and just finished LED lighting to the interior of the 4 console cup holders.

In the process of cleaning seatbelts in the X and the Expy.


Before and after. Yeah, it makes that big a difference.

I am thinking of doing a quick how-to in case anyone else has the super-dirty-seatbelt-problem like I do.

Pretty hard to crash this thread. Unless you are sharing a muffler mod on a KIA or something equally heinous!

I've done so much that I should've just started my own thread which I always thought was trivial.
Unfortunately my quest for a strong beater tow vehicle for the boat, turned in to a complete obsessive love affair...!!
Now I can't stop, although I am definitely trying to avoid meaningless mods that end up looking pointless, or out of place.

Ha.! I've been there the year before last, pulled all of my belts when the headliner was out and cleaned them. I used the ZEP concentrated pressure wash cleaner, diluted of course. Full strength will take your skin off.

I'm not using concrete cleaner. Would be afraid that would eat the belt material. Good 'ole Scrubbing Bubbles is my trick. Works wonders on seats, too. You just have to be sure and get as much of the chemical off as you can when done. I'll put together a slide show when I am all done.

My pockets were factory, I never had the web material. Look back a few posts/pages in here, I posted pics of the interior, I had everything done at the upholstery shop last April.
I do have some OE Ford leather covers with the web material I'm going to list here when I get the time.

I actually use it for everything...!
The second you spray it on, the grime on the seatbelt just melts off, seems very safe for the nylon belt. I've used it to clean the carpets when I removed them, and on all the interior panels when I removed them too.
Absolutely buy some, and just experiment with mix ratio.
