Meguiars Uphostery cleaner is good! Cleaned up my old car's seats like new

The 'cloud' marks that you are talking about are called 'tide marks' it's when moisture like rain has went onto your seats. It is not stained, it is because the fabric is not scotch-guarded (water proofed)

i would recomend a wet and dry vac i used to be a valeter and this is what used to use at my work makes them look like new, i use my wet and dry all the time on mine, just make sure you get the whole seat wet and dont leave any dry bits or you will get stains from where they dry.

thanks for the information :L even if more information was given than needed :L so i just need to wet the seats with just water? no chemicals or anything? then just suck all the wetness out?

yeah my GF has one and is helping me do my passat this weekend as a few of the seats have dirt stains etc

She highly recommends it. I have not used one yet, but if its anything like those wet vac carpet cleaners for your house which are awesome, then this will work on the seats very well

I have tried the spray and foam type cleaners from Halfrauds etc, and they were OK, but never properly removed bad stains or dirts built up on seats from over the years

Tesco £1.50 foaming interior cleaner isnt too bad. Brings the LCR seats up a treat, ok not 100% perect but close 8/10 from me.

Sprayed the seats using a low pressure spray with Automatic washing power and warm water mix before now. Then used a wet and dry vac to draw the filth out.

I got my mats from awsom gti £40 and they fit perfectly. They come in black with a choice of blue, red or black trim with the cupra logo on them.
