Leland 13 #1 Posted December 21, 2022 I just bought a soft cab for my 312 wheel horse and what can I use on it to clean and soften up the covering . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,120 #2 Posted December 21, 2022 If the cab has been left out in the sun I'm not too sure it will ever become very soft again. Meguiars makes some good automotive vinyl/rubber conditioner that may be helpful. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,130 #4 Posted December 21, 2022 Original Tractor Cab Co recommends on the vinyl portions use of a rag, hot or cold water, and with or without liquid soap. On the windows, avoid contact with plastic windows. Clean them by washing with clear running water and by rubbing with your bare hands, only. Liquid soap during freezing weather. Automotive windshield washer solvent may be used.Do not clean windows when plastic is dry.The plastic will scratch. @peter lena mentioned a 303 protectant for the vinyl I think. He may chime in. Good luck 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,801 #5 Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) I have tried the headlight restoration products on the windows with mixed results. Try on a small corner first. Edited December 21, 2022 by WHX?? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leland 13 #6 Posted December 21, 2022 ok thanks for all the help. this one was left lying out and there is some discoloration and makes but where the pedals is that is hard and I would like to soften up so do not break them up. I have mineral oil so I will try that first on those parts and if does not work will get the Mequiars and try that. I think I have some of the rainx also and that may work on the glass. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have used a heat gun to remove creases where the windows were folded. Edited December 21, 2022 by Ed Kennell 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
