I wonder if you sprayed some kind of stain gaurd on them after cleaning them if it would help prevent any?

Yeah, I find the factory scotchgaurd to be almost useless IMHO.

Just removed a red gatorade stain with the Turtle Wax - Oxy Clean stuff I posted earlier this week. Dang daughter spilled it on the front seat this past weekend. Took two cleanings (initial clean, after dried cleaned again) and you'd never know there was ever a stain.

Mine were stained to hell and back, mostly water. my solution was much more simple than all of these off shelf solution. I took my carpet steam cleaner, emptied out the detergent and soaked the damn things, basically running almost a full gallon of water through them and getting as much as I could out. then put detergent back in and did the carpets. first car I ever got to do that, but I saw how much stuff came out of the seats... yeesh. now they don't seem to stain as easy... i'm guessing they're all just one big stain so you can't see it?

Good luck with it.
