Folks, I have a "new" '91 Westy that didn't look like it had been cleaned since the '90s. The carpets and upholstery have been taken care of, now I'm on to the walls. The interior walls and ceiling appear to be covered in almost a type of wallpaper. I've read others describe it as vinyl in a thatched pattern. I was just going to attack it with 409 and a lot of towels before I thought better. Searching vanagon.com and the mailing list archives turned up the following solutions: Armor-All Cleaner, Turtle Wax upholstery cleaner, TSP(!) and bleach and water. Anyone have any annecdotes about these approaches? The walls are filty with lots of packed on dirt. I always thought TSP was really harsh and I definitely don't want to go the bleach route. The stuff seems somewhat fragile, so I don't want to give myself a new headache by destroying the existing material. Any suggestions or warnings? Also, can anyone confirm that the wall/roof material is indeed vinyl. Thanks much, -MB -- _______________________________________________________________________ Mark Belanger - belanger@fluid.com
