I hate to say it, but you might just be doing it wrong. I've had awesome luck getting stains out of mine, and it was recommended to me by a guy who used to detail car for a living. It needs a couple of hits with it, I did find.

Spray it down. Let it sit a few minutes. Wipe out with a microfiber. Spray again, let sit some more. By then it should be getting most everything up. Maybe do one more cycle.

It got out stains I didn't know I had. The cloth I used on my drivers side came out blue in the end, from the dark dye of my jeans rubbing on the seats for so long. Also worked great on a water spot from a water bottle that leaked one day. It's still redic that water will stain our seats.

Well there are fabrics that stain from water, its not crazy. It seems like the op just needs new seats and should throw the current ones away. You can throw them away at my house.

Pro tip. Scrubbing bubbles.. they do the work so you don't have to.. LOL
Works great on interiors.. Fabric you might want to check an inconspicuous spot first. But it did great on my recaros.
Learned that trick from a few used car lots.
It still could take several cleanings to get them totally clean though.
Soak them down and then hit them with a wet vac. It also helps if you can not sit in them until they are dry. It's real hard to get all the stuff that's absorbed into the seats out.
