Never drink and drive. You might spill your drink.

Subscribing. I have some very faint spots on the cloth seating as well that I'd like to get rid of. They weren't caused by tequila though. Tim Hortons coffee is the culprit in my case

Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can get it in Canada?

Is this the stuff, and does it really get old marks off?

What's the diff between the above stuff and this?:

What I am going to use comes in a big yellow can, don't remember the name but I have used it before and it worked well. You can get it at just about any auto parts store and Walmart type stores too.

Thumbs up

When I picked up my new 06 F-150, there was a small spot about the size of a dime or smaller on the side of the upright portion of the drivers seat. The seats are the flint grey color and the stain was sort of a rust color. I pointed this out to the salesman and he had it taken to the shop to try to have it removed. Not sure what they tried, but it didn't remove it. They told me to return when a private contractor they use would be there with a steam cleaner to try to remove it. If that didn't work, they would replace the whole seat cover. In the mean time I went to WalMart and found this new product I thought I'd give a try. It's a joint effort from Armoral and the oxiclean people. It was in the automotive dept in a spray bottle similar to other armoral products. I sprayed the stuff on the stain and let it sit a while, then took a clean damp cloth and blotted it out. No sign of any stain when I got through. The best stuff I've come across so far.

I've spilt a 44 oz coke in my truck before what really works well is Oxy Clean...the type in the spray bottle...spray a bit...bout nickle to quater size on a dampened washcloth...work it around in the cloth..then work it into the stain...after that....another washcloth with water only to kinda rinse it.

Ive used this on the afformentioned coke....axle grease (on my seat and floor) and just plain ole ground in dirt...works great for me and you can find it at most stores. Do like they recommend though and test before you go spraying down the whole interior just in case

I dont want any people blaming me for anything goin wrong...all Im saying is it worked for my truck and now when I detail it its right there ready to get rid of all the stains and mess that seem to follow me into my truck.

I've used the detergent that came with a carpet shampooing machine. I diluted it about 75% and applied with a spray bottle and brush. I found it is best to do a whole panel, not to try and do only a spot, and a thorough rinse is also important. I rinse with plain water 2 or 3 times and shop-vac each as dry as possible. I havent found anything that wouldn't come out yet.

I have the outline rings from trying to clean stains. From what I have heard the only way to get those out is take the stained seat cover off and wash it in the washing machine.
