my fabia 2 1.4 Tdi, level 3

i want to get the upholstery, which is pretty good quality finish, really clean

i dont think the previous and only owner for 8 years did a lot of tlc on that area...lots of dust round the seat bases etc

what would be a good brand to use, please

cheers

If it's fabric, use Valet Pro, Enzyme Odour Eater. It works a treat, cleans, anti bacterial and removes odours. 

Spray on, agitate with a stiff nylon brush and then wet vacuum off. 

I'm at work so can't post pictures till the morning but any question, fire away.

Right fella. 

Give the area a good vacuum to remove loose dirt, use a small brush to get into the nooks and crannies. 

Cover the centre console or other surfaces.

Take a bottle of Valet Pro, Enzyme Odour Eater, spray at quite close range to give a light foam. 

Agitate with a stiff nylon brush, the fabric is surprising resilient to abrasion. 

  

Then give the area a good vacuum up.

Extractor nozzles can be had  from eBay for around £5, Which are ideal.

No worries. 

 

That car took six and a half hours to do the interior and gave me a throbbing headache after one hour.  

 

Any questions as I say, fire away. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great work on that Focus interior. 

I use hot water, lemon generously dissolved in it and a pinch of shampoo.

Spray it generously on the upholstery and use a shoe brush to remove the accumulated grime.

Mine is actually vinyl leather. so i'm not sure if the same would work on real leather.

i cleaned my old 180K Octavia seats with Diamondbrite sprayed it on scrubbed the F*** out of it and left it for 15 minutes then got the wet vac out and they come up pretty much looking brand new.

 

to get seats properly clean ..wet vac all the way.

 

heaven for leather spray for leather items followed by lord sheraton leather balsam
