interior cleaning
 
what does everyone do to clean their seats? my 99 gt has the cloth charcoal seats and their not really dirty, just look like their a little dusty or somthing (the backseats are much darker lol) and theirs a stain on the passenger seat that id like GONE dont know what it is really. Generally i take my mom carpet cleaner and put the appolstery attachments on and clean the cars carpet and seats, granted it works great on the carpet ive never actually thought WOW my seats are clean afterward..anybody got any suggestions on cleaning the seats?

I take mine to a detailer. :] Haha but for a home job, they make shampoo for car seats. I've used some before, but the stuff I used didn't really get it that clean

from home I would be willing to bet that carpet cleaner you use is going to be about as good as it gets. IMO to get that "Wow my carpets are really clean" look you would have to take it to a professional place. But, I am no detail expert, but I have worked at a car wash, Ive tried just about everything I could to wash my carpets and seats and nothing worked as well as the professional cleaning.

yea i have no issues getting the carpet as clean as id like but the seats are a whole different story, their a different material i dunno theirs gotta be somthing out their to clean em up at home.

My process:

Products Used:
APC+ 10:1 on carpets, upholstery, and vinyl
Folex used on tough stains
Optimum Protectant on Dash
DP's Plex-All on instrument plastic panel
303 protectant on all other interior plastics/vinyl
Glass with Stoner's invisble
DG's Oder Eliminator

Process for carpets:
Soak with APC+ 10:1
Soak heavy stained spots with Folex
Work folex in with hands
Scrub carpets with Megs interior carpet brush
Slowly vacuum the entire carpet moving shop vac ONE direction only
Turn carpet around, and lightly mist with water
Vacuum every other 1-2"'s in the opposite direction (aesthetics)
Let bake in sun for as long as possible

Note: The car was a heavy heavy smoker's vehicle. If only you'd be able to smell the carpets once finished!!!

You have to remove the detergent from the fabric or else it will be prone to more soiling.
