Default Cleaning the Seats

Any good products you guys have come across for removing any of the stains from the seats? None of mine are that bad but I literally set a bottle of plain water on my seat, it condensated, and left a mark.

Also is there anywhere to order just a drivers side seat bottom?

Thanks.

These work. Go easy on the soaps. If they do not come out, it will attract dirt and make the carpet/cloth go brown. Take this stuff and spray lightly(or even dilute) and work with a soft brush. Rinse using the machine above. If you are going to do the whole interior, then make the soap up in the machine, but, again, light on the soap.

I find what works best is to get a 5 gallon bucket and mix up a degreaser/all purpose cleaner with a good amount of water to get alot of suds. It's all about the suds. Use a sponge, or brush in real bad parts, and work it into the seat. Then follow through with a clean dry towel and scrub real hard to pull the stain out. If you have some really bad spots you may need to spray some on to pre-soak the stain

I used a steam cleaner on my 04 seats. Worked better than expected. I sprayed some stuff on the dirtier parts of the seat and it looks damn good so far.

Try tough stuff. I used it on my moms escape and my cousins 1500. I use it on my leather too. Makes my interior look brand new and anything I use it on looks new. One of my favorite cleaning products.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]

I never found a way to get just a seat bottom. I went to an upholstery shop and for $125 he replaced the foam in the seat bottom and sewed in a new piece of fabric. Seat looks brand new. It was much cheaper than I thought it would be. Plus now my tush is comfortable.
