Seat cleaning before and after

This stuff worked surprisingly well on my seats and carpet in my truck, i just sprayed this stuff on and used a stiff brush to work it in the only thing that kinda sucks is that it stays wet for a few hours but its cheap and works well heres some pics. Sorry the pics are not so great but im sure you will get the general idea



BEFORE


AFTER

When I did used car "restoring" at Dodge a couple years ago, all we used was water, dish soap, and a shop vac. It works pretty good but on some seats it pulls up the stains. Then you just keep wiping at the stain with a rag while the seat is wet until the stain stops coming up. Then shampoo again.

That stuff you used seems to do the job pretty well though. Were the seats dry when you took the "after" pics?

Good job on your seats. My seats were so dirty a few yrs ago, that the armrest actually repelled water. Water would just run off of it. I used laundry soap and a hard brush.

take out all the stuff you want cleaned and take it down to the car wash power wash it off! Works great

I did it this way also because i did not have a shop vac or access to a real upholstery cleaning machine this was the next best cheap option

HA! material is already thin in some places and i have two small rips already i dont think they would do to good against a pressure washer.

When i took the pics the seats were dry i wish i would have gotten a pic of the driver side headrest, disgusting! it was black pretty much, kind like the spot where you put your head on the wall when you are sitting up in bed watching tv (the one your girl gives you crap about) anyways it came out perfect.
