Hi guys, what type of solvents do you use to get stains out of your cloth interiors? I have a grey cloth interior thats looks pretty roughed up. There are stains all over the place. Grease stains, not love stains... relax now. I was thinking of using one of those rug doctor vacumn machines that uses water to suck up stains. I dunno how well that would work tho. I'd like to hear your tips and tricks before i go out to rent one of those machines. Thanks!

Its quite a bit of work, but if you get yourself a hog ring pliers you can completely remove the seat cover and put it in the washing maching. Ive dont that on more than one seat. I did it to the back seats on my Sup'
My front seats were pretty clean so I havent done it to them, But I did do it to pair of 85 Supra seats.

My cleaning products are all from a company called Car Brite and for carpet and seats I use "Extra-Duty" and "See Spot Go" aerosols along with a brush and a vacuum cleaner to suck up any excess.
