    Default Best Upholster cleaner

    Gonna be stripping the Cavs interior to prepare it for the bodyshop.

    While the seats are out, I wanna get them valeted/cleaned. What is the best upholster cleaner to use on the Cav SRi's grey velour seats?

    Never used any cleaners beore so have no idea where to begin.

    I used a Vax on my Astra GTE seats and they came up like new. You wouldn't believe the amount of 'ming' that came out of them. Definately worth a whirl if you can borrow one

    Yeah, a wet vac came to mind but I don't know anyone with a Vax or a steam cleaner.

    Heard something about a vanish solution which is meant to be good to shift dirt.

    Rent a rug doctor and do your gaffat the same time! Or if you live with the 'rents, convince them it was their idea and ask whether you can put a tenner in and borrow it for a couple of hours. May also work with housemates/girlfriend etc

    Well the Cav is my dads and we want it to be absolute MINT when done, So it must be spotless inside and out. The interior is pretty clean but just want it totally clean.

    So maybe able to convince renting one.

    Really can't wait for it to be done.

    Search for a thread I started called rug doctor ftw, I spent only around 30 mins on those seats
    success is only limited by a weak mind
