Default The cleaning of a Fabia VRS seats

Had a few marks on the white / cream areas of my Vrs seats so went to halfords and got a tin of Car Plan's Stain Valet (brush head on the top) to try and clean them up a bit.

Well it removed the stains but it left a, what can only be described as a wet mark on the seats..........not sure how to remove this but i'll give it a go.

My verdict, great at removing stains but not for use on light coloured seats.

If your not careful you can end up with a dirty ring (water marks) at the edges where you stopped cleaning. Use a wet (and clean) cloth to make sure all the dirt has gone, then dry. I use a vacuum cleaner capable of sucking up water to fully dry it.

Never used Car Plan, I've only used Autoglym interior shampoo.

There was a post on here not 2 long ago, dont go buying halfords spray witht the brush on top, all u need is 'Shout' of '1001' stain remover spray, costs about £2 and is just as good.
1. hoover seats
2.spray evenly with stain remover
3.wipe seats with a clean slightly damp cloth, rinsing the cloth regularly
4.wipe again with a dry clean cloth
5.hoover again if nessecary, but wait till the seats r dry (sometimes u get bits of cloth come of when ur rubbing the seats)
