Had a few marks on the white / cream areas of my Vrs seats so went to halfords and got a tin of Car Plan's Stain Valet (brush head on the top) to try and clean them up a bit.

Well it removed the stains but it left a, what can only be described as a wet mark on the seats..........not sure how to remove this but i'll give it a go.

My verdict, great at removing stains but not for use on light coloured seats.

If your not careful you can end up with a dirty ring (water marks) at the edges where you stopped cleaning. Use a wet (and clean) cloth to make sure all the dirt has gone, then dry. I use a vacuum cleaner capable of sucking up water to fully dry it.

Never used Car Plan, I've only used Autoglym interior shampoo.

damn should of posted before i went out and done it! it was the brush on the top of the can that got me! lol

Autoglym interior shampoo is the balls.

cheers for the info, i've been trying everything and it's not working.

my seats are starting to get a bit minging!

Glad you posted, I noticed my seats this morning were particularly dirty (even though they've been cleaned with Autoglym). Morisons near me hire out Rug Dr, so I shall give it a go tomorrow

personally i thought autoglym was shockingly ****e! didn't budge any of the muck but the 1001 stuff rocks!!

I did mine last Sunday with 1001 Stain Remover and it took 3 years of grime off in one application. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a product.

My dealer claimed to have supaguarded the seats of my VRS when I bought it but I don't believe it as they mark with every small drop of rain :thumbdwn:

Just in case they have been treated, can I still safely use the 1001 stain cleaner or similar on them without adverse effects?

Probably a bit late for a lot of people

but

I used scotchgard on my seats when the car was new out of the showroom

Three years on, i can still get any dirty marks out of the seats with a cloth and a bit of water.
