DMC Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 My car has been sitting in garage for a few years...long story... Anyways, my inside door straps seem to be sticky. Anyone ever have this issue and know proper way to clean them? Color is saddle brown vinyl and straps are in great shape, but have seem to become sticky from sitting or something...

Rob Peters Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 It sounds to me like soneone may have used Armor-All, or another product like it, on the interior at some point in time. That stuff (junk in some peoples mind) will lay a nice shine on vinyl parts but will turn gummy after awhile. I would try a quality leather\vinyl cleaner on them.

Leghome Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 What is this clean34 you speak of. I am sure you meant cleaner as the 3&4 are just above the e&r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGreen70MC Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Is your garage humid? The door panels in my car feel sticky sometimes when I pull it out of the garage, but other times they don't. It seems to depend on what the weather is like. Conrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72jrfan88 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Aerospace 303 is a great product for this situation. Cleans great with no sticky residue and protects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 My 1970 door panels get sticky/greasy and i have to give them a really good cleaning once in a while. I beleive this is actially something coming out of the vinyl. It is only on the molded side panels and no other surfaces. Your door straps might be doing the same thing.

MC-71 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 GOOP Hand cleaner works on the sticky steering wheels. I'm sure you are having the same problem. Hard to find item. Harbor Freight sells it in the tube. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL M Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Any citrus type cleaner will take that [censored] off easy. I use armorall orange. The citrus breaks thru all that sticky stuff. In my opinion armoral is garbage. These cleaning wipes are golden though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
