Hi Roger, I need more prep 7.7 and something to soften the vinyl at the top of the dash.

Thanks, Gary

How is the progress, do you have pictures?

How long was the "reverse transfer" dwelling time to suspending all these years of accumulating soiling?

I will email you for the order.

I let it soak all Friday night wrapped in plastic to slow evaporation, I plan to stop by the garage on Sunday to check the progress. The small area I did check looks very clean!

Here's some pictures of the back seat in the cleaning process. The darkness in the perforated Leather part of the seat is missing pigment , not dirt. It's coming along nicely.

Refer to picture #1

There is a darkening line probably 3 to 6 inches by 1 inches size on the left size.

This should be properly clean off with Clean-3.8 and Rinse-3.0 and disappear when dry.



Picture #2

The partial cleaning result looks good!



Picture #3

The darkening effect I believe is from the Prep-7.7 as in picture #1.

They should be clean with Clean-3.8 follows with Rinse-3.0 to remove the remaining of the Prep-7.7 and disappear when dry.

[ Roger, I will re-clean with 3.8 and 3.0. The dark spot is now almost gone that it had dried. I want to proceed with the seat repairs and re-coloring and will e-mail you for more supplies.
