Emergency !

[reedbradshaw]

yesterday i dropped some chocolate on my seat accidentaly ( just a few crumbs ) and to my horror it has melted into the seat ! i ran in and got a damp cloth and managed to clean the chocolate of i then got some bounty paper towl to dry it up but this has left a fine white dust allover the seat and you can see it if you look really well ! my seats black and has a white smudge on it which im not pleased about !

anyone know what i should do ? or what should i buy to clean it off ? if i do clean it off do i only clean the little stain or all of the seat


HELP !

Girlfriend did the same with mine last week

Anyway, I let it dry then just dabbed it with a warm water and a cloth. Came out no problems.

2 days later she did it again plus Vimto!!!

 

[reedbradshaw]

mm ill do that then when i get in plus a hoover tro sort the fine white dust out !

it was white choc by the way so it looks like a fine greyo n the seat, if that doesnt happen though is there any good car shampoos out there what will fetch out the stain not change the colour of the seat !

 

[spyke85]

Carpet cleaner is good!

 

[reedbradshaw]

is it ? will this affect my seats though in anyway ? eg make the coolour fade or ought like that i have a ibiza sport and the seats are black and its the front of the seats where ya thighs / knees go what carpet cleaner would you recommend aand how would i do it ?

 

[spyke85]

VANISH fabric cleaner is good, just a couple of sprays, and wipe with a damp cloth. Then whack your car heaters on full, to try the seat rapidly.

Just like that

 

[reedbradshaw]

mm would i be able to use a hair dryer on it ? you lads sure this wont mess my seat up one bit ! sorryi m worryin only had car a little while

 

[spyke85]

Hair dryer would be fine I guess, just don't get too close to the seats with it.

 

[reedbradshaw]

you got me worried now ! whys that will it burn them or somethin ? if i dont dry the setas quick enough what will happen ?

 

[reedbradshaw]

so the advice is,,,, use vanish carpet cleaner spray a few times leave it for a while then wipe witha damp cloth then dry with a hair dryer n jobs a good un

that sound about right ?

Your local friendly supermarket, in the cleaning section!

If you've got aircon use that on recirculate mode to dry your seats - works a treat!

At least its only choclate, my missus dropped dominos garlic dip on my seat (after i'd said not to open it in the car ) - that REALLY doesn't come out.

Just lend me your car for the weekend, I will try to match all the stains I can put on it with your existing one. Then, buy a Mars Bar, cut out the Mars logo, stick it on under your CUPRA badge - be different ! Mmmmmm chocolate.

 

[reedbradshaw]

?? cupra i wish

Seriously now - my personal satin nightmare was a 4Litre bottle of milk on the rear seat of my Leon, not a good idea. Although I got rid of the stain (Using Vanish I have to add), every time it got warm, the car stank of cottage cheese as it had seeps into the sponge. Mmmmmmm cottage cheese. Nice.

 

[philaw]

Oops sorry, stick it under any old Seat badge. My missus also let a tin of hairspray leak onto the seat of my Mk 2. Again stain removed (can't remember what with), but two years later, that part of the seat still looked new !

Would these methods work for like other stains on the back seat if you catch my drift ??

Dunno about other peoples' back-seat acrobatics, but once you've got a a permanent cheese culture growing in there, puts 'em off a bit ! Perhaps the girls I am trying to pull are a bit too fussy. Now, back to the chocolate.............. that'll work.
