Take them out and get at them with a pressure hose, gerny etc

YEAH if your car is going to be used as a TAXI :headshot:

Mate i would not do that, Being a motor trimmer myself i would not advise anyone to do this. What will happen is water will eventually rust away the seat frame itself and saturate the foam which will cause it to slowly fall apart and your car will eventually always smell damp mildew will form and your arse will get wet. Also it would take days in the sun or under lights to dry.

The best thing to do is grab yourself Soap and water is the best thing to

A Bucket any interior including Leather

A Scrubing Brush forget armaroil and all that crap

Some Soap They do more bad then good...

And Some Warm Water

and start scrubing

or you could go buy some of that upholstry cleaner crap from Autoone ect and give it a go.

Cheers Bro

What would happen is your seat frame will start rusting causing many complications.

The Foam its self will be saturated and eventually start falling apart,mildew can start to form and your car may smell damp and your arse will get saturated for days after.

This is also a bad idea if your seats are electrical.

The best thing you can do is grab your self.

A Bucket

A Scrubing Brush

Soap

and Warm Water

This is the best thing to use on any interior upholstry including leather although you will also need to condition leather as well.

To all you guys that use armaroil and all that crap Stop your killing your interior very slowly.

Are you talking about leather? or all the plastics aswell.  

if so, then teach us Obi-wan.....

Do not use ANY silicone based product on anything in your car. When the product dries up, the silicon starts to shrink and can, eventually, dry out your dash and crack.

Only use a non-silicone, UV protectant, product just ask your car accessories supplier.

PS: Hey Jayson, How have you been? I am trying to get my car back together b4 the interstate meet up in May, so hopefully we could catch up then. :D

My Car came with pretty clean seats (luckily) but still a bit smelly and dirty.

I just grabbed a can of Interior cleaner(Kitten) and cleaned the seats with that foam spray and some warm water on a rag. they came up really good, as for protecting them, I USE SEAT COVERS!

mark :D

The new preen carpet cleaner is sensational. Spray on, wipe off with dry cloth the give a light rub with a damp cloth. Grease and oul stains just disappear.

I was going to reccommend Kenco Shift-It.

Worked a treat on all my seats and headlining.

Spray on, wipe with a damp cloth, then blot with a dry cloth to remove excess moisture.

Gentle enough to use on fabric, and strong enough to clean oil, grease and dirt scum from the engine bay.

(Not sure if I'd want to put carpet cleaner in the engine bay?)

Well I still have'nt received any more detailed shots of my car other than the auction pictures but did get my auction sheet translated by a Japanese exchange student living at a freinds house.....and guess what..."Dirty Inside" was one of the comments :)

Looks like i'm off to buy a bottle of Preen :)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
