Hi Marty, Not to start anything negative, but, save the buckles, discard the belts. There are a number of reputable companies that will make you new belts, with your buckles, at a reasonable cost. The reason I say this is that if you do try to clean them, and you do wear them, do you trust a 40+ year old belt in the unfortunate event that you may have to trust your life to them? To soak them in solvent will weaken the material, as age already has. So in a nutshell, have the belts replaced with new material. They will look great and more importantly, they will function should you ever need them. You do wear your seatbelt, don't you? Have fun, Charles. > > From: Marty Stewart <moopar2ya2@xxxxxxxxx> > Date: 2002/06/25 Tue AM 02:34:53 EDT > To: L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [FWDLK] How to clean seat blets properly? > > Any thoughts on how to clean seat belts properly? I had read somewhere in my too distant past that you could soak them in solvent (lets say Varosol as an example) then take them to the car wash and blast them with the spray. Mine are really dirty having laid under the seats in a convertible so they have rust stains from the seat springs as well as dirt and grease.
