Styling Upholstery / Seats

[LJB81]

So the newly acquired Punto Project now requires a good clean.... ?

Can anyone recommend a good upholstery cleaner which you've used ?

In a few months when it's on the road I'll take it for a Valet. This is only for the interim.

Thanks ????

The fabric on my door panels is beginning to look very dirty in places. Presumably there is a recommended product for cleaning it up?

You can get various car upholstery cleaners and home upholstery cleaners for not a lot of money.
Use a fairly course sponge to rub the cleaner in and make sure to towel dry the fabric as much as possible.

The main problem with fiat seats is if you leave them too wet then you get nasty water marks all over them once they have dried.

we have one of those vax steam cleaner things...does a nice job and doesnt leave water stains

I usually rent of these dirt doctor carpet cleaners from morrisons wash them with your chosen upholstery cleaner( I usually use Autoglyms upholstery cleaner ) then suck out all the excess water.

I also add a little air freshener of your choice which then leaves a fresh scent .

Going by the picture, you have exactly the same colour/interior combo I used to have.

I used a great cleaner called WIFE! Brilliant job and usually available at short notice.

Ah that's the million dollar question, I had many unsuccessful searches and false alarms searching for one, tried several but not great at the job. I suggest keep trying and experimenting! As a fellow member of the FF I would offer the use of mine in exchange for trying yours out but this can cause problems as these cleaners are usually very possessive.

Just used some auto-glym interior shampoo, spray a bit on and wipe off with clean dry cloth. Didn't believe the results wasn't expecting it.
