So i've got some pretty nasty stains on some of my front and back seats (don't ask me how I got them )...I have meguiars interior detail that i carry with me but it doesn't really remove them...theres still a silhouette/residue left in those areas.


Any ideas on how to get these out and keep them clean??


Any help is greatly appreciated...thanks!!

mr. clean magic eraser and water. just be gentle. don't scrub very hard, just keep going back and forth slowly until the stain goes away. we'd be able to help more if you described the stain a little better....

It looks as if I spilled white-out on parts of the seats...most of it is cleaned up and is barely noticeable...

The reason it is noticeable is because the seats are not smooth...they are textured...i'm pretty sure my seats are vinyl....not positive tho..

Even with a micro-fiber brush...it didn't fully come out.

FYI You can only see it under certain lighting conditions (ex...at night with the interior lights on its visible)...

I use Turtle Wax leather/vinyl cleaner and it seems to work where other cleaners will not.

And then the conditioner. You can spray it on a micro fiber and then wipe.

I use Wizards Leather Plus.. Looks great gives the leather a nice shine, makes it smoother and doesn't have that greasy look.. Also works on vinyl and the wood trim to
