'Dirty' R32 GTR Seats.

[PSI_GTSII]

I have yet to recieve any pictures of my GTR other than the auction ones yet!.

But judging by almost all the other GTRs I have seen for import the Front seats are filthy.

Has anyone had success in cleaning them, and If so how?

[silver gts-t]

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

you'll be suprised the dirt that comes out.

takes a while to dry though. hope its sunny

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.

How about steam cleaning?

and your thoughts on Ming protectants?

[Al]

Aren't the seat covers removable on the 32 GTR?

[MaNa]

steam cleaning is fine.

but what ever you do if you ever have your car steam cleaned never steam your headlining, it will deteriate the glue and backing and will start to drop.

I steam cleaned mine myself and they came up mint.

I know mine are ! i'm pretty sure they all are,yes? Have a look,those of you that already own 'em!

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.

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!

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?)

[GTRgeoff]

Aren't we cleaning seats Kaz?

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

When I purchased my 32 the passangers seat had a cigarette burn on it.. I'd imagine that theres not a whole bunch you can do to repair suade, just thought I'd ask incase anone has had any success or ideas
