I have been using an Oxyclean pen for spot cleaning. I haven't had to clean them completly yet. I'm not sure what to use for the whole seat.

I left my sunroof open and it rained all over the inside of my car so I used a carpet cleaner to get the water out of the seats and floor and headliner and it seemed to work fine. I think my wife used plain dish soap in it and it didnt harm anything and it pulled a lot of dirt out of everything.

Hope that helps!

General cleaning: Water and washcloth, light rubbing to get off surface dirt. Towel dry and brush with suede brush to reliven the material. Allow to dry fully before next use.

Water removal: Remove with wet-dry vac with smooth attachment, towel dry, brush and allow to fully dry.

Heavier cleaning: Possible cleaners, shaving cream, white vinegar (normally a last resort) or a very VERY mild detergent, sparingly used. Rinse and extract water several times before final drying and brushing.

Suede must be professionally dry cleaned for more serious stains.

Grease: Immediately after spill of grease, sprinkle corn starch on fabric and rub around gently. Brush away or vacuum gently to remove.

For the leather, be sure to use only high quality leather cleaners and conditioners such as Lexol PH-Cleaner and Lexol Conditioner, available at your local parts store for a reasonable cost to prolong your investment in fine leather seats.

thanks for all the advise. The suede in the car isnt dirty visibly any way. nor does it have any stains.

was just looking for general cleaning ideas. I guess ill go with the standard soap and water.

as for the leather i use


is this good enough or no?
how ever its a pain cuz its says NOT to get it on the suede

Yea I use the wipes version of that because it said not to get it on the suede and I figured it would be hella hard to use the spray and not have that happen. Even using the wipes makes it hard not to touch the suede.

yea i only spray it on the rag. i first did spray it on the seat but then you get the drips so after the first spray i went to only spraying the rag.
