Crusoe Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 get down to halfords or equivalent and pick up som eseat foam cleaner, autoglym do a good one if i remember correctly. You spray on the foam and work it in with a brush, wipe off any excess and usually leave it to dry for a few hours, worked well when i used it on a previous car.

dazraz_uk Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Id say the best way would be to hire the carpet cleaner coz surely the stuff foam that you leave on would just be a deoderiser as your not removing the dirt just rubbing it more!!? :? Whereas the actual cleaner is basically a vacuum cleaner which puts clean water/detergent onto the upholstry and then sucks it back off thereby removing the dirt? :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 the foam stuff picks up the dirt and you just wipe off the dirty foam, the wet dry vacumes would soak into the fabric and seat foam and take days to dry, use a specialist car seat cleaning product, not that expensive and know that it's been tested so it shouldn't take the colour out or leave any marks.

Scottish_Sport_16V Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Thats what i was thinking cause they have really dulled alot will prob rent the cleaner on sunday and take the seats on and do the carpet 2 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 the foam stuff is pretty good - it basically lifts the dirt to the surface so you can get it offthe cleaner would be good but will keep the seats wet, but cant beat it for performance. i actually found it really awkward to use cos its meant for carpets (i.e. big flat spaces) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWR Lupo Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I have the same interia and i use vanish power spray on mine then use a damp cloth 2 wipe it with.It works great and even gets oily marks out style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 The foam stuff is pretty good - I used it on an interior from a scrappies I put in an old car & it came up a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnLupo Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I've got that useless tim and tom design as well, I can't believe they released them as the sport seats - they must have been on drugs or something!(Either that or a really clever way of getting people to upgrade to the GTI when they released it?)My seats are quite clean and I've never had to wash them so I can't help you there, although I did buy some foam cleaner when I got the car in case they got dirty (looks like it'd work really well in theory).To be honest I almost considered getting them really dirty deliberately so I couldn't see the useless design!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
