Get a can or two of AG High Foam interior shampoo - thatll get rid of dirt, watermarks and all other kinds of mess you can get on fabric. Brilliant stuff - I swear by it for car interiors.
SimonBash:
What Alex said, or Autosmart brisk is a nice foaming product that leaves a nice smell too, readily available on ebay etc.
If you can get hold of a wet vac even better, best extraction of dirt etc saves using a microfibre to wipe away the dirt.
I'm doing mine soon so will post up some pics to show the results, method etc.
rdfcpete:
Thanks for all the recommendations on products chaps.

I bought a decent Megs brush from halfords the other week that would be perfect for the job as it has two differing types of bristle.

Thanks chief. I just found a similar brush on eBay as my local Wilco Car Master didn't do it.

Is that one just a more intense version of this Alex?

^ Look forward to seeing the results too Simon :happy2:
Do you have to apply any of the products quite thickly', i.e. you cover all of the upholstery on show?
alexperkins:
I generally apply it so its a good even coverage, work it in with a fine brush and then wipe it off with a damp j-cloth and leave it to dry - works every time
That other AG interior shampoo is more designed for carpeted areas from my experience
Drapoon:
Pete,
I use the exact same interior shampoo from Ag you use.
I first spray liberally on the interior & leave it to dwell for 5-10 mins then get a hot bowl of water & a microfibre cloth & agitate the seats & scrub lightly (not to hard as the upholstery is quite delicate in a gti & can fray & fluff pretty easily!), keep washing the cloth in the bowl of water & wringing as you go. The bowl of water should go an off brown if your removing the dirt. Grab another bowl of water & repeat until your getting clear water then you know there is no dirt left on the seats.
I have access to a wet vac if you so need it but I wouldn't think your that much of a mucky pup..... :wink:
