just wondering if anyone knew of a priduct to use on the cloth seats.. i have grey, and if anything and i mean anyhting gets on them, its stays. water, dirt, any kind of liquid, even cleaning liquids stain it. is there any kind of cleaner that is made specially for this, that actually works?

thanks for the help

 

I actually diluted some Purple Power (20% PP and 80% water) soaked a clean rag. Wrung it out, and wiped the seats. I was amazed. The stains almost totally disappeared. I realize this is a harsh cleaner but if it didn't work I was going to buy those Wet-Okoles everyone raves about.

I am pleased with my results... I wish I had some before and after pictures. I was just so upset with the seats (even plain water stains them) I was willing to trying anything. Hopefully RockPick will see this post. He is the MASTER of detailing. I am sure he can tell you the correct stuff to use.

 

I would be curious as to what products you have tried.

I'm not a promoter of armor all products, but I will say this: Their Oxi Magic product really amazed me with its ability to get out some tough stains. I used a dampened sponge and thoroughly sprayed the seat(s). Then I began wiping it up/off. Stains that had been there for a while came out with little to no effort. I even took it to the dealership one time to get serviced. The service boy got something on the seats and it was pretty stubborn. But, it did come out.

I haven't had any staining/spotting with it yet. Until someone shows me something better, I'll continue using it.

Let us know which products you used. I really want to know which ones because I'm sure my fave is going to get discontinued at some point.

 

well i cant remember the the names of hand, but i know that when i used them, all it did was make more marks on the seat.

 

I got some black ink from a printer on my front seat a while back. I used a Woolite product made for upholstery. It came in a light blue can. I sprayed it on then rubbed it with a damp cloth, then rinsed the cloth out in a bucket. I had to do it 3 or 4 times, but it took all the ink out.

 

I use Hoover Spot & Stain cleaner. Works great on anything. The key to these seats is not to use to much cleaner as you may leave a larger water stain. Use small amounts. You may have to clean some spots several times, I did. After the seats are clean, Scotchguard them. I have no spots on my seats 5 months after cleaning.

 

If it's small, a towel with warm water on it will do the trick.
