As you know I have a MY00 
38,000 miles 
and generally in good nick
About 3 months ago, during a moment of weakness, i'd dropped me missus off and was sat in the scoob waiting for her. Like a to55er, i leant into the passenger footwell, felt under the chair and found my emergency bottle of Dr Pepper! Like an even bigger buffoon, i opened it and .....yep you guessed it, psshhhhhhhhhhhttttttttt all over the inside of the car
Now the inside of the car is spotless and there are no signs of the Dr Pepper moment except the drivers seat. Where the *** groove is there is slight discolouration and staining (Shut up!!!
) now obviously you can't just set about it with a sponge and water (Or can you?) cos the seat would surely retain the water for days. How do you clean seats?

When I got my first car the interior looked as if somebody had been living in it.
Anyway we hired one of those carpet shampooers and on a hot summers day took out all the seats and boot carpet, put them in the garden and cleaned them with the carpet shampooer. Once they had dried they looked as good as new.
Don't know how hard it is too take the seat out of an Impreza but maybe you could take it indoors and do the same thing?

I used some autoglym interior shampoo stuff in my car when I first got it. Just needs a farily light application and invigorating with a cloth. Does leave the seat damp for a while, so worth doing when the cars not going to be used for 24hrs or so.
