My missus has spilt some water on the passenger seat, I thought I'd cleaned it up late last night, however, I came to the car this morning and it's left a stain right in the middle.

Can anybody offer help on the best way to remove the covers without causing any damage please ??? I had a quick shufty and they look a biatch to remove, so all assistance would be greatly appreciated

It's an MY02 WRX

Regards
The Pat (a soon to be single scooby owner, if this stain doesn't come out !!!)

I don't know specifically about your model but in general the seat cloth is not removable. Go to Halfords or wherever and get some car upholstery cleaner - I have found it suprisingly good. Just a foam that sprays on, agitate it with a brush and wipe off. I did a second hand car before I sold it and all sorts of stains came off.

I had some stains on mine - mainly salt from jumping into the car sweaty after football! I used a steam cleaner with a cloth over the end and they came up like new! It was just one of those wallpaper steamers with the cleaning kit!

Voila!
