When I was phosphating bolts, you need to heat up the solution, so I waited for my wife to be out, and did them on the kitchen stove. She came home early, and caught me. She walked through the kitchen, and without breaking stride said, "You know you're a redneck when you cook bolts on the kitchen stove."

X2 on the dishwasher. I have done this several times.

Won't the buckles rust!
My wife has said NO!! on the dishwasher already.

If you get more room in the budget I will connect you with the best in the business - Charlie Santorelli. We've been friends forever and have done about 25 sets of belts together too. Not the easiest guy to deal with because the job is his way or no way but the end result is better than OEM.

Warm water in a bucket w\ Woolite was the ticket for my TA. Gently scrub with your hand. Rinse a few times. Took the back seat lowers out, put a few towels down.
For the seat belt retractors in the headliner, I removed the trim, pulled the belt all the way out, and put a small c clamp to keep it out. I did it out side in August.

They also hate recharging desiccant bags in the oven. Lol

Ok...they are in the dishwasher now...top rack with extra heat. I just put one of the cleaning pods and jet dry. See what happens.

Rick I did the same thing with my black belts and they cleaned up great. My chrome was decent on all mine.

Are the tags inline with a May 5th build?

What does the "H" 10 mean and what is the coating on the sides?

4 are 16C with one 15E and one 7E
