Subject:Product for cleaning upholstery?
From:Jeff Palmer

Just got my 85 Westfalia GL out of hibernation and I'd forgotten how
much goo i'd gotten on the rear mattress/cushion.  Mostly tree sap
and a few unidentifiable smudges.  Won't come out in the regular wash
of course.  Can anyone recommend a good cleaner that won't ruin the
fabric?

Also, say I'd just been given an old vanagon (which resembled a used
lawnmower from my neighbour) that hadn't run in 7 years.  I guess the
fuel would have gone bad?  Should I just let er rip and hope for the
best or is there anything i should do before starting it?  If it
doesn't start I can always use my electric mower I mean vanagon.

Thanks
Jeff
