Dawn dish liquid, a scrub brush, and the hose. Suck out the rinse water with a shop-vac. If you want them to smell nice, clean again with Resolve carpet cleaner. It's recommended you remove the seat pan and back cushion from the rails before hitting it with the hose. I've done j-yard seats smeared with axle grease using this method. They come up nice.

Edit: Please don't take the hose to your leather seats...

I use my girl's Pantene to clean everything. That stuff is amazing-it will absolutely kick any stain's ass. She uses the kind for "Normal Hair". Try it.


LOL, thats funny . what does she say when she goes in to your car and smells the panteen

Mine cold use a little "shrinking" anyways! Think of it as a face lift.

I want to try the washing method as well, I'll try and take some pics, maybe I can do this before the week is over, mine are terribly dirty because of me getting in there with greasy hands....

Ifyou wash them in cold water then hang them out to dry they shouldnt shrink much.. If they do just set tehm out in th sun all day and let them get nice and hot and stretch them over yur seats.. You could use a heat gun also for some added help

brakecleaner,the secret stain remover....don't laugh until you try it.I cleaned my dingy Tweed interior in my Z32 like this.Looks like NEW
Spray some on a spot on your upholstery and immediately scrub with a rag(terrycloth or towels works best,but you can use strong papertowels or shoptowels)until the brakecleaner is almost dry....look at the rag...ewww!!
Let it air dry or use a hair dryer...or....













...it gives you a good buzz while your driving,LOL....seriously let it air out
