Interior cleanup
Ok I know I'm going to get a lot of grief for this, but I assure you this wasn't my doing. Bought my truck back in 2012 and haven't done anything to the interior (other than my own sound system upgrade) and have been really considering finding a way to clean up the crap on the seats from the owner prior to me. I get anxiety the more I think about it.. funny how it didn't really bother me when I first bought it, I actually worked the guy down on the price because of it.. anyways, I need suggestions on how to clean this up.
If this isn't fixable (without completely replacing) are there any specific seat cover brands you all suggest I go with that can both keep the original look as well as save me some $$? My passenger side seat isn't too bad but if I end up going with a seat cover, i'll cover all 3 seats up front. Maybe there's something I can do to cover up the center console as well..

Give it a good cleaning before you put the seat covers on though. When I do a thorough cleaning, I like to spray with a Oxy cleaner (can't remember the brand, I think armor all). Then I have a Bissel automotive cleaner that works wonders http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bissell-Au...eaner/14320831
I also have the same hole in the drivers seat. Most people do... I had an upholstery friend sew on a big heavy duty patch and replace parts of the foam. Still haven't got seat covers but will eventually. Our seats are terrible for shown stains.

Check out the InterTubez on this, there is a wealth of knowledge on how to clean upholstery in and out the vehicle. Warning most of it requires a steamer and a very good wet vac. Once it is clean I would invest in some Neoprene covers,at so you can ave some water resistance on your seats.
