Has anybody used Resolve carpet cleaner on the seats. I have a few mystery stains, but I didn't want to mess the seats up if I sprayed it on and I shouldn't have. Thanks.

test it in an inconspicous area

Try spraying some in the seat pocket behind the drivers seat. That way, if it discolours (which I doubt it will), it won't be visible.

Should be OK to use the Resolve, but as the others said, test it first. My favorite interior upolstry cleaner is definately Blue Coral's "Dri-Clean". Always did a great job. Works excellent in a steam cleaner also.

I use "Power Out" by Turtle wax for my stain removal and shampooing the interior. Love it and have used it for years in my car. I am a smoker and ask Sub R Vibe if my car smells of smoke.Try it and let me know.Sam

I use my cordless Bissel Spot remover. It dispenses shampoo and then vacuums it up. Very slick and works very well. I once used it to remove a chilli stain from my Civic. How do you get a chilli stain in your car you ask? Well it's a long story involving a slow cooker.

I've used Resolve, works fine, no problems.I would probably just try water first though.

I tried water yesterday and it didn't work. It must be like ketchup or something from the few times I have eaten in my car. But if resolve works then it won't be there for long. Thanks everyone for your input.

Anything to use on the seats... without using some kind of steam cleaner?

I use stoner carpet and upholstery cleaner: Works magic!

^^^That's the stuff! Works very well!

Looks like I will be giving that stuff a shot for this weekend Thanx for the tip! I have been using Stoner's Invisible Glass for a few years now and that stuff is amazing!Guess they know how to make cleaning products.

I use Stone products almost exclusively in my car care rituals.The only product of theirs that I feel is kinda sucky is the "Tarminator" bug and tar remover. It doesn't really do a great job getting bugs off.Other than that, I give them for their product line!

I used a stain remover on the seats and it made it look worse. Discolored the center slightly. It drives me nuts. I did test it and it was fine, so be careful....

I'm taking my Vibe within the next week to a place that does that kind of thing. Because my stains are deep down ( from previous owner ) they said it'll take about 3 hours to do. But it's only gonna cost me about $70...I'll spend it and get it done right.

If you want to take out stains use Blue Magic - cheap and effective and agitate the stain with light Brush and then dab the stain with a clean towel and it will come up after a few tries. Don't rub it or it'll get deeper in fibers. If you have a home steam cleaner with nozzle attachment then hit with that after the first steps and viola!

Chemical Guys out of California makes a product called Lighting carpet cleaner that takes out about anything as long as you are patient and do the above steps. I've detailed many cars.

Here's an example:
