Stains on interior Cloth

What's the best product to use on interior half leather/cloth seats. The cloth bit is wet stained so need some good specific product to get rid.

Any suggestions of a specific product?

Have used Turtle Wax interior 1 - interior upholstry cleaner - comes with a big harsh plastic brush on the end (yellow and green can) - so I used a soft nail brush instead as the brush on the end of the can looked as though it would do more harm than good. Had spilt a can of pop on the seat, but after using the brush and then wiping with a damp cloth the water/stain type marks had gone. Think you can get this stuff from Halfords.

Are you sure that works?

I've tried the turtle wax one with brissles and it hasn't worked....

I use Haflords upholstery wipes - they're absolutely excellent. I always get a mark in the same place on the front seats when the rain water falls on the seat due to the hopeless design of the roof/window guttering. The wipes always make the seats look as good as new.

Autoglym interior shampoo is also superb, but more hassle.

Thumbs up

I use the Armor All general wipes...they work a treat, and work well in the home too!

You get LOADS of wipes in their pack from Halfrauds and at one point they were on two-for one (may still be along with turtle wax gear)

They are especially good for a quick wipe down of your wheels after you have washed, driven up the road and developed the splashes all over them again!
