Default need quick tip on cloth seat cleaning

whats up guys
just bought an 05 ppw enthusiast!!!


just detailing the interior and im having a bit of trouble getting what look whitish-gray hard water type stains out of my black cloth seats. i tried some meguiars upholstery foam cleaner but it only helped a little bit.

what are u guys using to perfect these cloth seats? the stain is located on the hump between the drivers legs on the *** part of his/her seat.


steam? carpoot shampooer? any certain products or house hold items?
thanks guys

I use some brand of carpet/upholstery cleaner, whatever my wife happens to have laying around, and scrub with a stiff brush, then a damp towel. Those are probably sweat stains, at least I think that is what causes mine in the exact same spots. They clean right up though. Let it soak for a few minutes if they aren't coming out.

Woolite, cut it about 5:1 ratio water/woolite. Very gentle.
