Title: Cleaning upholstery
Post by: clive_gti on September 18, 2009, 11:08:17 pm

Whats good for cleaning upholstery? I spilt some clear liquid on the grey part of the seat recently and wiped it down with water to help remove it.  But now i'm left with a water mark.. any tips on how to get rid of it?

Id also like to know what people use to clean upholstery cause my black seats and door cards to me are looking tired (compared to showroom)

try this:-

Buy a spray bottle & use @ at 20 to 1.

Spray on & wipe down with a clean cloth.

Cheap, but I have found very effective. : :smiley:

Cheers guys, I'll give the spray a go and if it doesn't shift the marks then i'll let the professionals take over.

Before the leather in the VRS the standard cream seats were a nightmare. I actually found autoglym interior shampoo, white bottle green label to be briliiant, shifted all the marks no bother. Or try Megs APC diluted 1-10 or 1-4 if it doesnt shift with the 1-10! It probably will though!  :happy2:

Did you manage to get the marks out in the end?
