TR2/3/3A Tonnue cover needs cleaning tr3a

[mine]

What is the best to use to clean the leather tonnue cover on my dad's tr3a? It's white original and it just had dirt and grit from years of use. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif

It is the original Tonnue. I thought it was leather. Just Vinyl? I'll try the soft scrub idea /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thankyousign.gif

You'll get lots of great suggestions, I'm sure. Mine is Clorox "Soft Scrub" and a stiff nylon or similar brush to get down into the "grain" of the tonneau (which I'll assume is actually vinyl, not leather).

Don't use anything harsh. No degreasers or solvents or heavy abrasives. Before trying anything, test it in a nonvisible area. Soft scrub obviously passes the test.
Just remember that the vinyl in the tonneau is a petroleum base and will desolve or melt when using the wrong product.
Robbins recommends not using a vinyl protector such as Armorall. Especially with a white tonneau. It would collect more dirt than your vaccuum cleaner.

Jungle Jake/Simple Green is a mild degreaser that can be used. It's very mild when diluted. I've used it on every possible interior/exterior project.
