Hullo all. New '88 Mighty Max Sport owner here.

I'd be hesitant to pressure clean the seats intact - but you can skin them and give the upholstery a serious scrub and pressure clean if it's cloth (it would inevitably cause the seat frame/chassis to rust). Use a pre-wash stain remover like you'd buy for laundry and go to town on it. Pressure cleaning the carpet works miracles but go easy on it during the process as you don't want to blow holes in it (obviously...) Give it a bit of a beating first to loosen up all the fine stuff embedded in it.

Welcome, Shadowfax. We older guys ask dumb questions, too, so don't feel lowly. Also, be sure to visit the thread http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin...and-do-it-ASAP for some pointers on preventitive maintenance. The worst thing these trucks have been subjected to is lack of proper, comprehensive maintenance.

I had very good results using an upholstery cleaner attachment for the carpet machine in getting the headliner clean. I caution you that its base material is egg-carton fiberboard, so be careful not to soak it or it will turn into oatmeal. It pops out fairly easily (you have to remove the rear-view mirror and sun visors) once the plastic rivets are out if you want to cover it with material or even paint it.

Enjoy your little truck: give it the full measure of your attention and it will reward you with some very wonderful motoring.
