The few spots I have gotten have been taken care of very well by a product I was at first hesitant to use. Armor-all's Plastic and Interior Wipes. Works wonders and can't be seen after it dries.

Normally, I don't like Armor-All products, but someone told me these wipes work well for cleaning the plastic dash and the door panels, and they were correct. I got to reading on the container and it says that it is good for upholstery as well. Pretty easy to use, just rub the stain with the wipe. They have a whole line of wipes, be sure to get the one for plastic and interiors.

Maybe try Tuff Stuff cleaner found at Wal Mart, a lot of people on here seem to like it. Should be in the automotive section.

I tried Tuff Stuff on my black cloth seats. Also a nightmare, new stains from the cleaner everywhrere. I'm going to give the Armorall interior wipes a go as well.

Thanks!

Be warned armor all wipes are notorious for cracking dashes due to all the water in them.

i got mine at target, they make a few different versions, think this is the one i have... i had the same problem with my tan cloth where EVERYTHING stained and i tryed just about every cleaner i could find... i pay around 90 at target which was expensive, but WELL worth it to clean the seats, not to mention works wonders on the mats, carpet, everything. it was recommended by a few others on here as well.

I doubt a high water content will damage a cloth seat. He is talking about Armor All interior cleaner, not tire shine guys.....

X2! I used the same thing with the solution that came with the machine. My truck looks/smells a whole lot cleaner. It even got out most the metal dust/coolant stains from my old machining job. If you don't mind investing the $90 bucks it is well worth it. I bought mine at Target too.

I have tan cloth seats and have never had a problem using a mixture of water and OxiClean.
