Clean seats

Colinwoods84 · 10-27-2009, 09:08 AM

Has anyone else had the issue where it seems like any water hits the seats it leaves like a stain?? I'm just looking for the best way to get the seats all nice and cleaned up

these seats are like stain magnets.

I put some scotch guard on my seats when I first got it. I am not sure how to get the stain out but after you do spray some on there and it seems to keep that from happening.

Colinwoods84 · 10-27-2009, 09:11 AM

That was quick! Ok scotch it up. Well hopefully someone has the cure then I'll apply the protection

KoruptTaco · 10-27-2009, 09:43 AM

i got the exact same problem... wet wakeboard in backseat left em lookin SHITTY

NraFan · 10-27-2009, 09:45 AM

Same here. I have these brownish yellow spots anywhere the fabric has been wet. I tried some cleaner the other day, now its just darker! I need a solution too.

i fear the only solution may be wet okole's... but i don't have the cash for that

I have the same problem since I'm always getting in with a wet swim suit while I'm loading the boat on the trailer. I was thinking about getting a bucket of water with a small small amount of laundry detergent and wiping all the seats down with the idea that it would get rid of the individual water spots but I'm not sure if that would be better or worst than they are now. The idea is that it would be kind of like one big water mark instead a many.

Clean seats then apply 2 coats of scotch guard can get it at wal mart auto dept

KoruptTaco · 10-27-2009, 10:01 AM

we're asking how/with what do we clean the seats

AzogSS · 10-27-2009, 10:07 AM

Mine spotted from rain... So I joined in on the wet okole group buy.

Rocketball · 10-27-2009, 05:42 PM

Ok, here ya go. Just wet down the entire seat with a hose. And immediately suck it up with a shop vac. Seriously.

I have an 08 DC Sport, and my 1 year old golden retreiver went on a road trip with me a few months back.... Well, lets just say I didn't listen to her when she told me she had to go potty....... Before I knew what was goin on she had redecorated my back seat from door to door (and half way up the back) with doggie poo, and then walked all thru it...... No lie.

It was a very long drive home to say the least.

The only thing I could think to do was spray down the back seats with the graden house (using a spray nosel) and immediately suck up the water with the shop vac.

I've heard the horror stories about the stains, but I was way beyond stains at this point, so I figured what the hell. How much worse could it get?

Well, it only took me about 15 minutes to get the poo out of the fabric using this method. After 2 days of letting the seats dry out I was amazed..... No stains at all. Seriously.

I guess the entire seat is now one giant stain, but hey, it's all the same color so it doesn't really matter.

Believe it or not, this is a true story.

KoruptTaco · 11-16-2009, 02:44 PM

might have to try that method out but does anyone else have any suggestions 1st? i got to do something soon bout my waterstains.

SURFTACO · 11-19-2009, 04:52 AM

I've tried multiple removers/and also more water. No luck. There must be someone out there with a solution!

I have a stain remover that I LOOVVEEE.. I got it from autozone, it has one of those built in scrub brushes in the top and it's an odor eliminator too.. I am not SURE what it is off the top of my head but from looking at autozone online I think it is this
Blue Coral/22.8 oz. Dri-Clean with odor eliminator upholstery cleaner
When I can take a break I will go look, it is in my truck

I've even used it to get chocolate out of my seats before!!

$5 Costco seat covers

jr114 · 11-19-2009, 03:52 PM

whatever you do dont try using orange clean spot remover. looks great then out of nowhere the spot comes back and is frickin darker than ever and just plain annoying. i have some of the blue coral stuff in the garage so when i get home tom ill give it a try and let you guys know how it comes out.

is the scotch guard easy to apply? only reason i ask s cause when my brother bought his car the stealership charged like an extra 200 to scotch guard and do someother detailing.

do try it, it has removed all the stains ive come across so far, even the ones from when rain water rolls off my roof onto my seats and stains. The only part that dissapointed me is that it wont install the wet okoles sitting in my back seat for me..

man those interior dealership packages are a joke. i got the paint protection package and im starting to think that was a joke too.. (and has been nothing but a HUGE headache!)
