Re: cleaning jeep interior
 

Use Formula 303 (look in the boat section for it - if you are in the NW, Fred Meyers
carries it, sometimes GI Joes will have it also). You can also get it on line.

Old toothbrush works great for getting the grime out of the cracks and such.
sponge and or towel to wipe it up. Might want to hose out the floor (after pulling
the drain plugs).

I've used it before (thanks to you guys) for my fading fender flares.
Good to know it's ok for the interior. I was starting to wonder just
what I COULD use.

Oh man, I tried that. It takes a hell of alot of elbow grease just
for one spot. It's gonna take forever to do the whole interior.

Besides soap and water is there something safe I could use to maybe
loosen things up? There are some spots that look more like muddy
stains instead of dirt, and they didn't come out with the usual
products.

Thanks for all the responses,
