Crayon Removal

["Robert T. (Bob) Rouleau" <RRouleau@dataradio.com>]

There were a lot of good suggestions. The trick is to use most of 
them.

Step One - go to an electronics shop (radio shack even) and get a can 
of "freeze-it cooling spray (or equivalent). This stuff is used to 
freeze electronic components and boards to test for heat realted 
problems. Use it liberally to freeze the crayon residue solid. Thsi 
stuff is a lot colder than ice!

Two - flex the leather to break off as much of the frozen crayon as 
possible. You'll get most of it. 

Three - use the warm iron and paper towels to get rid of anything 
left, there should be very very little. Change the paper towels every 
time you apply the heat, they don't absorb all that much.

Four - finish with lexol cleaner and condition. 

Results should be like new. Downside is that you'll have to Lexol the 
rest of the car because you'll have one very new looking piece of 
leather. Don't ask me how I know this.

Bob
