Default How do i get clean seat?

spent all last week swappin out interiors. the toughest part of the job had to be the seats. no one in central jersey had a long enough 40 size torx to make life easy . still got er done though.

i have to clean up my new seats...they are in solid shape but need a nice bath. i do not want to be the "buy 10 different types of cleaner conditioner that dont work guy" so im looking to you guys for nothing but the best.

Moving this to the Detailing section, hopefully it will be picked up by one of our experts.

Depends on whether they are leather, vinyl, or cloth.

I've used saddle soap on my XJ40 and also a light pressure washer to shift ingrained muck.

But then you have to feed the leather for quite a bit afterwards, so drive in old washed out jeans. Otherwise you will ruin a good pair of pants.

The above cleaning is best done whilst you have the seats out of the car and nice and sunny for quick drying purposes.
