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)

If you want to do a really good job, go and get a vax with an upholstery tool (about £30 on ebay) or hire a rug doctor and give the whole car a proper clean carpets and seats, and do the house too while you have it.

You will be amazed at how much muck comes out and you will have done the whole seat so no chance of clean spots showing up.

£30 vs £800(approx)

Can't say it would be a choice for me in the current economic circumstances.
