Whats the best product /method for cleaing RS Turbo recaro;s - mine have dirt marks and some minor oil/grease marks on tehm and want to get them looking bufty - any help appreciated as I dont really have a clue.

They are fabric - no leather.

Cheers

 

sorry i carnt help but i also want to no this

 

Bump - anyone ??????

 

I have a set of Show standard FRST recaros....I didnt wanna be anal and clean them, but i decided to be curious and have a go!!!

I took the front seats and door cards out and sprayed them with pound shop upholstery shampoo and warm water...left for 15 mins to bed in...I then borrowed a mates carpet vac which uses 2001 carpet cleaner, and has a small stair cleaning brush with it. (This squirts water at the seat aswell)...
Carefully rub the nossle into the fabric in an up and down motion, then wipe with a clean rag, and leave to dry, for the day......

I was shocked at the amount of dirt that came out of the seats and door card fabric, ( a whole brown tank of muddy water)...and these seats everyone said were concourse anyway, before the clean....!!!!!

There is another more tedious way...that is carefully dismantling the whole seat, and removing the fabric, (its not stiched on, but held by pastic clips and a few metal rings on the rear, and side sleave rods to hold in place down the side bolsters...

Simply then place fabrics on a cold wash in the washing machine, drip dry, re-assemble and admire your fresh "summer breeze" (optional ) smelling recaros...

Hope this helps!! regards...Edd

 

Sorry, my mistake, its actually called 1001, 3-in-1 machine carpet cleaner, in a yellow and blue bottle!!!

I got mine, (10 bottles ) in the pound shops, as opposed to Ł6-00 each ish in the retailers!!!....GET SOME NOW!!!!

 

Best way is to use wetvax as said above

 

i would take the cloth off and put in washing machine - that way you dont mess up the foam in the seat

 

The use of high temparature steam and pressure is becoming popular with fantastic results on interiors . looking at getting one myself after seeing some excellent threads on DW
