Well, I have a buddy that I work for, and he runs a aftermarket automotive store. I detail for him, and make some good cash.



He was going to throw these seats out, cause there was coolant and grease all over them, but I suggested I take a shot at cleaning them, and one of his customers over heard. He said he`d be interested as long as I could get them to not rub off on his cloths.



So I went to work on `em and I got them decently clean. I used some oxy clean in HIGH consentration to get them clean, and then steam cleaned them to sanitize. Well here we go.



Before:

After:

Don`t mind the slight discolouration in the back portion of the seat, its still very wet.

Did the oxyclean get out the grease? Huge improvement.

well the oxyclean, combined with a chemical cleaner substitued for water in the steam cleaner.



Also a HECK OF A LOT of scrubbing :)



Customer picked them up a couple minutes ago and tipped me double what I charged him, so apparently there was a nice improvment :)

In the last photo the seat still looks quite dirty....maybe just the shadow and the wetness.



A fine job nontheless!

that looks very good. One time i took some kind of small oil stain out of my carpets with FOLEX. Give it a try.

The last picture was taken when the seat was only partially done. I just wanted that same angle.
