Default Best way to clean STI seats

Hi all,

The front seats in my STI blob have gone spotty on the black base where rain drops have landed when the doors have been open. Some of the blue also looks like it could do with a clean due to water marks.

I'm tempted to attack them with Amberclens which is what I've used on other cars in the past but was wondering if there are any tried & tested methods?

Thanks

Steve

I had mine out of a v6 STi professionally valeted for £10 when I bought them. They came up like new.

I have also used Autoglym Upholstery cleaner to good effect. Meguiars is reckoned to be good too.

But DO pick a dry day.......

Mild soap and water, best done in the summer so it dries out quick.
