stain removal
stupid question but here goes

the guy who had my '92 before me had kids, and theres a ugly bright yellow marker or crayon stain on the back seat. its really noticeable and drives me nuts

its really baked in, ive had the car for a year so who knows how long the stains been there. is there anything i can do to get it out? the stains about 3-4" in radius. the stains not really "crusty" and the fabric is still fairly soft where the stain is

wtf is wrong with you? bleach will cause a big WHITE SPOT where the stain was.



Chrome: Have you tried any types of carpet/fabric cleaners on the stain?

look at a store that sells a lot of kids type stuff for a cleaning product designed to remove marker or crayon.
You may also want to CAREFULLY try nail polish remover.

Leave your number with local wreckers. We picked up rear seats for our '98 for $40. Would have cost more to have them properly cleaned.
