I use the Blue Coral Upholstery and Carpet Cleaner for stains. If it leaves a circle, I then come back with the OxiClean. All stains are gone on my grey seats.

I tried cleaning them myself, but I wasn't happy with the results. Finally I had them professionally cleaned and they turned out great.

Then I bought seat covers. Problem solved. Everytime you turn around with these cloth seats there's a new stain. They're brutal.

I like the Blue corral stuff too...doesn't get the seats perfect but it does a pretty good job.
I've got a friend that does re-upholstering so i'm gonna try to get that done

Well.....

I had my F150 seat covers sitting in my room, for a month, before I even had my new truck. The day it was delivered to me, I walked outside with the covers and slapped them on.

No problem :-)

Peace,
Fish

You need to get your self the Bistle "little Green" its a small wet vac. Its they way to go because you can use any of your favorite stain lifters but the little green will suck all the crap out of the seat after you soak it down.

I have the gray cloth seats and I feel they really don't stain much. They look brand new and they've had a lot spilled on them. Even the local Ford dealer put a large oily hand print in the center seat and it came right out. I usually just use a white towel with some very mild soap and water, scrub hard and everything comes up.

Tuff-Stuff, foam in a red can with yellow cap. Available at Auto Zone, Advanced Auto Parts, Walmart and many more. $3.99 a can and works great.
Spray it on and scrub with a medium brush, wipe with clean terry towel and let dry. Kept the tan in my '04 clean until I recovered in leather last Fall.
I buy it by the 12 can case and use it on several of my detail customers vehicles on the seats and carpet.

My grey seats stain with just rain water that comes in from the outside when I open the door. They are POS, and I feel Ford ought to make them right for all of us. Never had problems with my other vehicles. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth for Ford. You pay as much as you do for a vehicle, and try to keep after it, and water stains the seats! POS in my opinion. Whew...now I feel better.
