Congrats. When I got my '85 GL it was pretty filthy. The best stuff to clean upholstery and carpet that worked for me is a product that comes in a spray can called Tuff Stuff made by First Brands. I've bought it in auto parts stores, discounts stores both in Atlanta and where I live now in Iowa City, IA. Using this together with a steam cleaner that I borrowed (not filling the cleaner with detergent, just spraying the Tuff Stuff on, scrubbing, then using the steam cleaner to rinse) worked incredibly well. The water coming into the cleaner was filthy, and I just kept cleaning until it was somewhat less filthy. It never ran entirely clear, but clean enough. __________ Donald Baxter 724 Westgate Street #1 Iowa City, IA 52246 (319) 337-0494 onanov@mindspring.com donald-baxter@uiowa.edu www.mindspring.com/~onanov
