What would be a good cleaner-deodorizer for amplifier vinyl, tolex, etc.? Not going for glossy, just clean. Thanx!

Pro fomula 409 and bristle brush. I also clean grille cloth by spraying 409 on it, then blowing it dry with compressed air. Don't use it on control panels. It may dim or remove lettering.

Lexol leather cleaner (kind of like saddle soap) works well. It's usually available at a farm supply store.

Windex! Use a brush to scrub it in, and wipe it off with a turkish towel.

I recently used a small amount of dishwashing liquid in a bowl of warm water and a bristle brush to clean a tolex covered case that had about 12 years of dust and grime on it. It looks almost new now.

Scrubbed small areas then sponged off with a clean, damp sponge. Used canned air to blow water out of the hardware.
