Default VHT on the back of my front seat

I carry my slicks in my car, (no backseat) and I have managed to get some VHT on the back of both the driver and passenger seats. What can I use to get it off? Thanks!

Cloth or leather seats? If leather, a little WD-40 on a rag will help disolve it. On cloth, you might try rubbing alcohol or a store-bought cleaner.

Leather....

Does it matter how warm/cold it is. Right here in NJ its pretty cold out, I could take it to my Dad's shop inside where it will be 70+degrees.

I had the same problem the last time I went to the track. I use Zaino's leather cleaner and conditioner on my seats, and I tried the cleaner on the VHT. It took it right off! If you do have some trouble taking it off due to the cold weather, you might try warming it up some with a hair dryer. Then use the leather cleaner, and it should come right off.

I've used the armour all cleaner that is good for grease & oil. I've used it on my leather seats, trim, seat belts, and carpet and it really works well.

Something else to try is nail polish remover (aka acetone). A little on a cottonball or shop towel should get it off without damaging or discoloring the leather. Simple Green also works wonders for getting sticky material off leather, plastic, wood, etc.

I always take some 55 gallon trash bags with me when I am hauling around tires, just a thought for the future. Or even an old bed sheet might work.

I'm pretty sure the BACK of the seats are not leather in the Firebirds or Camaros either one.

Acetone will DEFINITELY pull the color off the vinyl or whatever it is.

Be careful. Don't know but maybe something like a little Lava soap and water.
