Grill Cloth Restoration - Product Review..
#4

   
   

Here are the final results. Pretty amazing if you ask me. I worked around the entire cloth, doing 3 inch sections at one time. It took me about 30 minutes, and I had to go over it several times, before the cleaning cloth showed no dirt. It won't repair faded or torn cloth, but it will clean the heck out of it. I used Scott's "Rag's" paper towels. I can now use this grill cloth in the radio.

Mohawk ZipKleen II isn't cheap. I paid $17 for the can. I used about 10% of the contents. Considering the cost of new grill cloth, it's a bargain. The can says "Removes tar, grease, oil, adhesive tape, gum, etc., from the finest of fabrics".

I give it a thumbs up. Icon_thumbup

Oh yes, many bumblebees and loktal tubes. The cutout is for the speaker.  Here's a photo from a different set. Bob Andersen — 12:59 AM
