Cleaning the seat

We used to call girls like that "sweat hogs." We weren't PC or even nice back then ( a lo-o-o-ng time ago). But damn, she stains the seat, SHE cleans it!

Reminds me of an incident from my days as a cub reporter. This was small-town rural Montana and the sheriff, Ole Grinolds (no kidding) was a "good old boy" of the highest order (think Mayberry). Never lost an election. I was sports editor at the time so worked a lot of nights and weekends while also monitoring the police/fire scanner. So the sheriff department gets a call and report from a well known local gal of suspect virtue who had been at the bar, but when she comes out her bicycle has been stolen. An officer calls in and asks how they are to recognize or otherwise identify the stolen bicycle. Ole comes on the radio and says, "Christ, just smell the seat!" I fell out of my chair and peed my pants laughing.

I digress, but... One other time Ole apprehends some youths who have been drinking, one of them heavily. He recognizes the young man on the passenger side of the pickup cab. The door is coated in vomit. Ole opens the door, the youth tumbles into the barrow pit and continues his retching. Ole says, "Butch, if ya feel something hairy coming up your throat you'd better swallow 'cause its your *******."

I'll have to wait to see a picture of the passenger, before admitting to that Ray.<br />

This one would work...<br />

Is it really stained? It's hard to imagine vinyl getting stained. Is it discolored by bleach? That wouldn't clean off. You'd have to recolor it. Is it paint? Is it something like titanium dioxide powder that's permeated the vinyl (titanium dioxide is white pigment used to color white paint). If it's pigment, it's not going to clean off either.

The suggestions to either recover it, or replace seem most likely to succeed.

 
That's weird. Those "stiffs" let me do it.

WD40. Cleans anything off anywhere.

Well, nearly.

 
You guys crack me up. Titanium dioxide powder? Is there a significant risk of me getting titanium dioxide powder stains on my unoccupied passenger seat?

Holy ****, the things I should be worrying about -- and I DON'T EVEN REALIZE I SHOULD BE WORRYING!

I'll just keep dreaming that ElToroJoe's "young darling" will one day deem me worthy of a seat stain.

Sounds like dried wax to me.

Titanium dioxide? Good grief.
Dried wax is a good guess. Titanium dioxide is a white pigment, and it's in more products than you might guess.

In 1974 I was doing a consulting job in a factory where it was produced. We got it in our suits, and even on the upholstery of the Lincoln Continental MK IV that we were driving. It never came out.

Another possibility!!!

Might be Anthrax or Ricin. Go smell it real deep and close!! If it is, can I have some of the farkles after the hazmat is done ??

Zilla, am I gonna be on a watch list now because I typed both of those words??
