    Hey guys,

    Noticed a stain in my backseat and wanted to know the best way to clean it up. Not sure what it is but I suspect it’s chlorine water since my swimsuit was left back there in a plastic bag.




    Thanks

    I believe that to be a water mark. Just get the rest of the seat wet with whatever cleaning product you wish and it will all blend in when dry. The key is the rest of the seat has to be wet and then dry. I don't bother with them anymore.

    Hit up YouTube for detailing videos on "extraction". That should get you squared away at how to pull out most stains from either carpets or upholstery.

    ^^^^this.
    just use a water based cleaning product on the whole cushion. let it set a bit so entire cushion is equally damp. then use a wet vac to extract as much as liquid as you can and let air dry.
