« on: 05 May 2016, 17:09 »
As topic, cleaned the inside the day and drivers seat could do with a clean. What are people using to do the upholstery?

I asked a similar question on a different thread the other day. If you read further down, I didn't really get a definitive answer though...

Any good general All Purpose Cleaner (APC) will be suitable for fabric and carpets. On Detailing World, the following are commonly recommended:

Autosmart G101 APC - from eBay

ValetPro Classuc APC. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/carpet-fabric-cleaners/valet-pro-classic-all-purpose-cleaner/prod_1346.html

ValetPro Classic Heavy Duty APC http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/carpet-fabric-cleaners/valet-pro-heavy-duty-carpet-cleaner/prod_1347.html

Used on a Microfibre, uplostery brush, or in conjunction with a wet vac.

Once clean, use a good fabric protectant such as Gtechniq l1 Fabric Guard.  I have leather but their leather version protectant is excellent.
