While going around cleaning my tires and floor mats with Zaino Z-16, I accidentally spilled some on my graphite cloth seats. Tried some upholstery-carpet cleaner with very little luck.

Any ideas?
 
Wet dry vac first...blot with towel.....brush with stiff clean plastic brush repeat

Wipe with wet towel...it will dilute the Z16...blot brush blot wipe brush blot etc etc

Try some upholstry cleaner.....I have multiple brands but for spots I really love Eimann Fabric Spot cleaner from CMA....really good stuff..

IF all these fail rent a steam cleaner to deep clean....

Good Luck
 
I have had great luck using Brake clean &shop vac.
(DONT USE THIS METHOD ON , PLASTIC , VINYL , OR LEATHER!!!
Just vaccume WHILE YOU SPRAY ON THE SPOT...
If It will take tar out a tan headliner without leaving any discoloration or residue, it certainly should work for this problem.
Ive used this method on numerous occasions, all succesfully On cloth , Carpet &chrome Do not use on cladding it will melt it
hope this helps And rule of thumb; always test on inconspicuous spot First (y)
 
I just noticed that I have some spots on my seats where the cloth is. It can only be seen from a certain direction. Must be from eating too many Mickey D's in the truck. What is a good product to clean the cloth part of the leather seats? Where do I get them from?
 
Find any upholstry cleaner and follow directions....

For tough spots I like Eiman Fabrik Spot remover....sold by www.properautocare.com
