LOL!! hey it wasnt my seat to begin with i just bought it with the stains on them. Anyways does the steam vac remove all the stains? I was thinking about using meguiars or something.

lol use a black light and see if theres more "stains" on them......try club soda or something those things always work........and the steam vac should work...just try it and if it doesnt work just use the oxy

Formula 409 and a rag.

Club Soda just moves the stain around.

Everyone needs one of these:

1.what i did personally is took all my carpet out
2. pressure washed the fuck out of it
3. used all purpose cleaner and carpet cleaners
4. scrubbed the shit out of it
5. pressure wash it out again,get most of the water out
6. shampoo it
7. vacuum most of the water out and let it dry for a day or 2

i was happy once i was done. its still really clean

What type of carwashs you guys got lol...we got plain jane vacs. Wish we had that option.

Also I would try something that works as a foam..so doesn't get to deep in the seat like the foam underneath the upholstery

ShamWow sucks ass. I saw a demo at the local mall, & all it did was make the watery mess bigger. Nothing works if you see it advertised on T.V.

*signalpuke* · 12-19-2008, 08:29 PM

I have gear oil on my carpet, tried steam clean, but it is still there. Gonna try dish soap next and then steam clean again.

s13pignose · 12-19-2008, 09:32 PM

Try maybe hand cleaner like u use in the orange bottle for working on cars...might work

http://www.goophandcleaner.com/orange_v2.htm

Like that but with out the pumice if you can find it. I used something like that once on a permanent marker stain, and took it off...even after I tried putting in the washer

s13pignose · 12-19-2008, 09:38 PM
