so.. i let my mother drive my ss/sc over the weekend while i was driving around my weekend toy.. low and behold when i get in it this morning to drive to work i notice stains in the passanger seat.. she told me she accidently spilt tea in the seat.. so now when the light hits the seats just right it is extremely noticeable where the stains are..

what do you guys use to clean these recaro seats with? i dont want to use something that will screw these seats up..

damn you mother

 

Omg that sucks man. I let ONE chick ride in my car and for some very odd reason it left french fries all over my seat and floor. I was PISSED. But yeah that sounds worst.

 

Try using "Greased Lightning" I use it on practically everything. You can buy it at your local supermarket such as Shop Rite or even Home Depot. It's proven to be pretty color safe on everything also.

 

You guys have it easy. Try having a dumb bitch use the side of your car to PUT OUT A CIGARRETTE!! Now I have a huge hole in my clearcoat, and whats left is chipping away

I steam clean all my seats/carpeting once a month, although i dont have the Recaros

 

looking directly at it its not bad.. but in certain angles.. its plain as day.. you can see the outlines of where the tea was.. man im so pissed.. figures of all people to nasty your **** up.. its gotta be the one person you cant tell off..

 

With the recaro's having that netting it might be tough. But a few years ago my husband wanted leather seats in his Ranger. I found some is a junk yard. There was some blood stains on the drivers side. I used Murphys soap oil to clean them. I had to use a lot of elbow grease. It worked. I also then treated them with a saddle (like horse saddle) treatment. I picked it up a a local Feed & Tack supply. They were Eddie Bauers, by the time I was done they looked good. I just see the netting on the Recaro's getting in the way. Good Luck.

 

You didn't treat your seats with leather sealant?! What the heck man, after you clean that sucker (Murphys is what I would suggest), make sure you seal it.

Get some sealant for black leather, some saddle soap, and some leather treatment. Hit them up with the soap and treatment, then put a nice even coat of the sealant on them. Since it is black there shouldn't be any color change, unlike nutral leather which always gets a little darker tan.

Will make your seats a lil bit shiner and much harder to mess up. Depending on wear though, you will have to strip and retreat them every so often.

 

I use a small Bissel carpet cleaning machine. Works great. The Recaros show everything in that cloth area.
