I was reminded of a story that involved a car that I later purchased. It seems that the owner's daughter recieved a rather nasty cut on the arm (lots of blood that ended up on the seat). Well after the trip to the emergency room, a wait there, and the trip home. He removed *all* of the blood stain with cold water and a wet/dry shop vac. When I say all, I mean all, there is not even a light ring around where the stain was. The seats are light blue velour and still look great on a 76 Olds. The only form of protection was a good application of SCOTCHGUARD on brand new seats. This was enough to convince me to do this myself on a new car. Cost wise, 2-3 cans of spray run about 10-15 dollars. Not too bad for what you get. ---------- Tony Nowicki ARPA: nowicki@uiucdcsb.CS.UIUC.EDU U. of Illinois, Urbana UUCP: {decvax, ihnp4}!uiucdcs!nowicki Department of C.S., AI Lab.
