What do you use for cleaning the seats?

My seats are made out of that soft coorderoy(spellin') material, kind of a whitish beige. But they get so dirty! They have quite a hint of black to them right now, and even when I clean them for awhile with oxy clean, they still don't come out looking great. I'm going to scotch guard them, as soon as I can get them really clean. Any suggestions for the best ways to clean them up?

Use a steam cleaner, it works wonders, even if you think your seats are clean you will see all this black water come out. If you dont want to rent one, use Spot Shot, this stuff rules. Took out Dried blood out of my friends car in like 10 secs.

Arg, about a year ago when I did my interior swaw, the donor seats were REALLY dirty and so was the carpet. I tried having it steam clean, but that didn't work very well (the fabric still looked dingy). But, I heard about this stuff called Folex from Home Depot. YOu can get it in a spray bottle or gallon jugs, and it is farking awesome! After about 4 hours of work, my seats look like they were brand new

Trust me, you'll never buy any of those crappy cleaners again after you use Folex

he's right....get the folex...all you have to do is spray the material and then sorta massage it with your finger and spots disapper like crazy.......if you can like a little carpet cleaner (hand hdld), use the folex as the cleaner...your ish will look like new!!! Its pretty cheap too, i think the spray bottle was about $8!!
