Above is the exact same color my seats are. I have the leather with heated seats. Where its not leather it appears to be a fake suede like material. Will I be able to get coke out of the fabric part? It`s appears to be lite stains. Anything I can use that will clean it right out?

You can try leather master.

Do not use leather cleaner on this part of the seats. It ia a fabric made to look like suede and will need a fabric cleaning method to remove. Do not use anything that over wets the fabric as there is a chance of delamination.



Hope this helps

Hey there, just a quick update. I used a microfiber cloth and getly rubbed it with a sensitive suede cleaner. It worked very well. The fabric has no fuzzies lingering. Looks brand new again. I was shocked.

Good job! It looks like your method worked. I have a steamer and probably would have used it to remove the stains.

Why would it delaminate?

Most faux suede is a two-layer fabric with a synthetic micro-fibre surface. The use of too much moisture, too high heat or the use of solvents will cause delamination of the 2 layers.

Not only that, but if you`re not careful and you use to much water or any kind of solution it can create tiny rolled up fabric clumps and thats just fugly

Are you sure? I haven`t messed with this much, so I haven`t had much interest in researching it. I am not doubting you, but I will ask around to get some more info for myself.

Our specialism is leather but we work closely with many of the UK`s and USA`s foremost instructors on carpet and upholstery cleaning and this is where this info came from.
