Inspired by the MOTS thread, does anyone know of a good product for cleaning/rejuvenating tolex case covers? I'm about finished refurbishing the HSC for my National Chicago model, and the tolex could use some sprucing up.

Thanks! David

I use a soft bristle brush and Simple Green spray cleaner to clean a section at a time, wiping up any dirt or grunge with a damp/moist cotton rag. Once it's cleaned, I use Armor All to "rejuvenate". That's the way I do it, anyway.

Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I think I'll try George's first when I return from a trip: seems simplest, and I generally subscribe to the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid).
