DIY: Cleaning 2nd Gen Seats for Under 10 Bucks

Wasn't planning on writing anything up but started to clean these seats and was really stoked on the results so thought I would share for the rest of TW.

Ended up getting these second gen seats from @JordanSmith127 for free, but they definitely needed some work.
Pretty Stained up and smelled of oil.

I Guess disclaimer, attempt at your own risk, not responsible for any damage done.

So to start this you'll need:
->4 Bottles (20 FL OZ. Each) of LA's Totally Awesome Cleaner (Found at the dollar store or any big box store)
->A Few clean white towels (Microfiber if you have it)
->Clean Bucket
->Hot Water
->Sunny Weather

As I said I wasn't planning on doing anything as far as a write up, so theres a few pictures missing but you get the general idea.

Started with 2 seats.
The first one I was partially through cleaning already. 2nd Picture is how they both looked.



Started off with vacuuming the seats.
Then spraying the seats with Totally Awesome, and followed by rubbing them with a clean white rag.
Whenever the rag got dirty I would rinse it off in the bucket of hot water, and repeat.
I sprayed the Totally Awesome pretty generously, and would work in sections around the seat.





This was the right upper side, and whole lower cleaned on the driver side.

Everything except the top left


After the driver side was done the bucket of water looked like this.


Dump out the water and start with some fresh water and a fresh towel for the other side.



Repeat above steps again.
Start off with vacuuming the seats.
Then spraying the seats with Totally Awesome, and followed by rubbing them with a clean white rag.
Whenever the rag got dirty rinse it off in the bucket of hot water, and repeat.
I sprayed the Totally Awesome pretty generously, and would work in sections around the seat.



Repeat again on the headrests.




After this I moved everything into the sun.
Get a clean towel and another bucket of hot water.



Take a minute to appreciate the cleanliness



Look around for areas you might have missed, and spray some Totally Awesome and wipe down with the towel.
I patted the seats down with a Clean white towel to try and get rid of any excess moisture in the seats.
Came out really clean and totally stench free.
For less than 10 bucks for everything totally worth it!



All in all totally worth a few hours of time, and 5 dollars of spray from the dollar store.
Still currently drying in the sun.




Hope this helps all you 2nd gen owners with dirty seats!
Feel free to ask any questions and Ill try my best to answer

 

Look a lot better, but what the HELL do you put your seats through?!?!?!?!

 

I dunno? lol they were given to me by a buddy

 

I use a spray. Forgot the damn name. I'll update once I get home. It foam up and you just scrub after a few min.

Pressure wash it if you have time time to take the seat out plus the drying time. But it's really clean afterward.

 

Can't believe you were able to get them that clean. Good job OP .

 

I use a shampoo machine with Tide and hot water.Comes out super clean and smells terrific.

 

Totally awesome! lol

 

Good work! Thanks for sharing.

 

Used to sell that stuff at the store I worked at, it is so amazing and so cheap!

 

That's disgusting...good work. If my seats got that dirty, I would probably take the covers off and wash them in the washing machine, then end up unsatisfied, throw them away, and replacing w/ takeoffs from somebody who got Katzkins

 

Gotta love full leather. You can have a dog drop a deuce on one seat, puke on another, you wipe it off with a paper towel.

 

They definitly were not that dirty when they came out of the truck lol. Think some oil probably spilled on em in the shop and i think for awhile they were left outside
