Would that 303 fabric stuff prevent this?

 

Seems like a lot of people have these problems...me too.

I had the seats scotchguarded on day one...my fiance spilled a WATER in the passenger seat, now I have a FILTHY water spot the size of a baseball....

 

What the heck... what is the point of scotch guard, 303 etc if it doesn't protect it from staining???

 

I used some stuff called "Folex" to clean my cloth seats.

It got several stains out of the seats that I didn't think were possible.

You can get it at Home Depot, Lowe's, or sometimes Wal-Mart. I used a brush to agitate the area then wiped it with a Microfiber towel and gone!

 

I have been using blue-coral carpet shampoo with a maguires interior carpet brush and it takes a little elbow grease but if youre willing to do the work ist been good to me for regular maintanence and stain removing since i've had my '95 Ranger.

 

As much as i hated to do it i finally got seat covers. I gave them a good final steam cleaning and then put the covers on. Everyone talks about these 300 dollar seat covers. I went to www.exactseatcovers.com and they have exact match seat covers for the front and back seats that even covers the center console on the 40/20/40 seat setup. I paid 70 shipped for the entire front. They are easy to put on and really nice seat covers. And they fit really snug on the seat. I am a huge fan of this company now. They have about 12 colors and designs to choose from.

 

I agree these seats are the easiest cloth seats to get dirty that I have ever owned. The thing that gets all my stains and dirt marks out every time is my portable bissell little green clean machine. I use it on the seats about every other month.

 

I have something easy and inexpensive for you to try. Go get yourself some Armorall wipes. I believe they are the ones that clean multiple surfaces in the vehicle. They cost about $6.00 at Walmart. Scrub your stains with the wipes, and see what happens. I had stains from using Tuff Stuff on my black seats, and after trying the wipes, I won't use anything else. They worked wonders.
