Default Cleaning cloth seats

Hi guys,

Just wondering if i could use say an interior MF (yellow/orange one) damp, with a little GPC to try and clean my seats? Just not too sure about the 'wet' part, and rinsing, drying etc.
Hair dryer afterwards?


cheers

Every few washes/vacuums I rub a very, very lightly damp interior MF (i.e. wring it out as much as possible) with GPC sprayed on it over the seat, just to pick up any extra grime on the seats. Then go over with a dry interior MF. Doesn't work as well as a proper dry steam clean, but helps to keep it cleaner for longer. If you have any doubts as to whether it is dry, just let the windows down a crack to air it out.

Remember, you're not trying to get the seat wet, just clean the dirt off

As above, great advice, the very slightly damp Interior Cloth (GPC Cloth) will use capilary action to clean and it (the MF) will do most of the work, just a tiny bit of GPC (General Purpose Cleaner) will help with breaking oils bonded to fibres and GPC has a little foaming action which will help to clean in & around those fibres.
