How do you get rid?

The seats in the insignia are a state, by the looks of it they've had someone who had been in a river sitting on them and now it's being sold, I need to clean it up and make it look good.

What's the method of cleaning here?

Spray a fabric cleaner over the area, leave to sit for a minute or so to soak and agitate if needed. Then extract with warm water using a wet vac

No. Try APC or fabric cleaner. Spray on, agitate with a brush then wipe over with damp cloth. Leave to dry. Check results.

I have the same issue. Very light grey interior with a few spots. No idea what they are or how they got there.

Going to try this:

APC, a nail brush, warm water and a dry Microfibre cloth works wonders for me

Go on Ben, what do you mean?

Do most valeters not? I must be lucky to have a decent one where they do a good job for little money.

EDIT: You've done your edit thing One I got will do the seats properly in a fashion which is being discussed above, can't see the problem.

They'll just cover the interior in silicon.



"Yes sir, very shiney, look, shiney, shiney interior, you like?"


Doubt they'd bother getting Robin's spunk stains out of his seats.

OMG Ben

Like I said, I must be fortunate to know a decent place then, but if I asked for the seats shampoo'd I'd be a little shocked if they covered them with silicon

I knew someone would work it out eventually

I don't know if our local Polacks will do anything other than hoover the floor mats and spray dash shine everywhere including the steering wheel

I could get it properly Valerie's but I'd rather do it myself so I can do it again if needs be.

Place in Tintwhistle if that means anything to you. Really sound owner, little cafe there, I go every Saturday morning after dropping the mrs off at the shops They do a full service for £40, which as they put it 'restores it to factory finish'. Maybe not that good, but that includes the works, engine bay, inside properly cleaned and shapoo'd, hand polished outside, etc. However if you have a word and don't want X bit doing you can negotiate price, like just pay a tenner for a full clean inside for example.

No course not. I just get a wash for a fiver generally, but will let them hand polish/wax it every couple of months along with interior doing. It's just somewhere for me to go, have a smoke, look at cars and eat a bacon butty at 8.30am on a Saturday

I just bought a steam cleaner for £15. Id hazard a guess that would work. Spray some fabric shampoo on to soak then steam
