How to clean light gray flint seats??
I have a 04 F150 Supercrew with the light gray flint seats. Needless to say, there a pain in the butt to keep clean. I had a dealer spray a coating of something (I forgot the name of it) that was suppose to keep the seats from staining up and repel water. I have also had to the seats scotch gaurded as well.
The seats still stain up just from rain! Rain leaves little dots off over the place if I have my window down lets say at a drive through or something when it's raining. Also, I was running to my truck one day when it was pouring rain out, and my paints got a bit wet, when I got out of the truck, it left a big circle stain where I was sitting just from water itself.
I tried cleaning them with fabric cleaners, but it made it 10 times worse. You can see where I tried to clean the seats and it left big spots all over after it dried and looked horrable!!
Next I took a steam cleaner I have at home with a little bit of fabric cleaner and had to steam clean the seats to get the spots out that the cleaner left behind the frist time I tried to clean them, and you can't just steam clean just the bottom of the seat since it dries and you can see water marks on where you did not clean at!
My seats are a mess and I can't figure out how to clean them right! What am I doing wrong here??? I try to take care of the body of the truck and the inside as much as I can, and the seats are bugging the crap out of me! I hate these seats, they stain up way way to easy!
Can anyone help me that has these seats and tell me how you clean them?? Thank you!!!

This is the method I use.
1/4 cup of blue coral car wash concentrate - one gallon warm water. Wet a sponge then only squeeze about half of the soapy water out. Using a dabbing method blot over the entire seat then using a shop vacuum suck the remaining water out of the seat. I use this method on the carpet as well with very good results.
