I used this stuff, and when it dried it looked 10X worse as it left sort of water marks where I had applied the foam. Any ideas how I can get rid of these. Not sure if I'm applying it correctly (I sprayed it on the stained area, as per instructions, but this has left marks around the area where its dried).

The VPP cover I have on my car means I can take it in and they will clean the seats, but as I'm having all sorts of issues with the dealers atm I was trying to avoid this.

Many Thanks
Mike

Another reason why i went for full leather on my second MINI R56. I had the same issue with my half leather seats, as the cloth part stains unbelievably easy. If you try and spot clean it, it will look worse every time. The only way i managed to sort stains was to use a good fabric cleaner BUT you must clean the whole seat panel and try and keep it as dry as possible. Whist slightly damp but not dry give it a final wipe with a rolled up cloth / pad.
