    Hi MrClean81...

    Did you ever tried the Chemical Guys Carpet/Upholstery Brush with you method instead of a wool pad?

    No but I have considered getting a backing plate to accommodate one of the 4 inch brushes made for a Cyclo. Im not sure of the stiffness of either. Normal brushes are hard on cloth seats but Im sure these brushes are soft and made for this use. I`ll have to give it a shot some time.

    Great article. Now I know what to do if my cloth seats ever get stained . What cleaner did you use for the spot treatments?

    I use some stuff from Superior Products called Zap It, but there are many out there that do the same thing. Superior is easily accessible for me, so thats what I use.

    The first link I sent you is for the stiff brush for carpets mostly that are heavily soiled. This link is for the softer brush.

    I really like that idea to clean seats. Thanks for posting!

    When I bought my new truck I decided to stop off at Sonic for a drink. When the car hop brought it out the lid wasn`t fully secured on the cup and the way they handed it to me left only the top to grab. Spilled the drink all down the side of my truck, the door panel and some got on the seat. I had a hard time keeping the seat from staining when it dried.

    Excellent write up. I`ll definatly try this method out, I always have a problem with the rings showing up after I clean the seats. Sounds like you`ve made history!
    Get your shine on!

    Thanks everyone. The brushes would work really well for carpet and scrubbing the seats, but the advantage of the pad is it absorbs the cleaner and makes the seats dry very quickly. With a brush only, you`ll either have to go back with a pad or shop vac, and the shop vac would put you back at square one with water marks and stripes. Thanks for the links. Im gonna try these out sometime.

    This sounds like a great idea except how do you rinse the foam out of the seats?

    I use a Mytee HP60 Extractor all the time on cloth seats and I don`t soak them so badly that I cant extract almost all the water out. For my cleaner I will use Meguiars APC+ either at a 10:1 or a stronger mixture - 7oz APC+ and fill the rest with water in a 32oz bottle..

    I dont let the foam sit long enough to really soak into the seat. The wool pad absorbs most of the cleaner and foam so there is no need in extraction. When using wool, I spur the pad out once or twice per seat because the pad gets so loaded up and wet.

    In theory this looks like it will work and as per the pictures it looks like it works excellent. I am going to give it a try. Thanks for the tip.
