Ask your dealer who they use to detail their used cars or ask around for the best detailer locally. It'll cost some but you won't see it everytime you drive the truck. It's too new to have that showing.

My salesman told me the cloth seats were warranted against staining and if I got a stain to bring it to them and they would clean it.
Maybe it's something that dealer does, but would be worth asking yours about.

Have you tried any sort of carpet cleaner such as hot shot (hot spot maybe?)? I've spilled all kinds of stuff on my seats and haven't found anything yet that carpet cleaner won't get out.

I think it's spot shot.

That's the stuff! I used it as directed and then shop vacced it. It may or may not have removed a whole cup of tobacco spit from my gray seats at 1200 miles :yucky:

I got coffee out of mine with Chemical Guys upholstery cleaner. Some of the heavier spots needed their nonsense cleaner.

Brake parts cleaner works for me.

As Mentioned above, i sorta recall a salesman telling me about an interior fabric warranty as well. I think I need to look it up somehow in my paperwork maybe..Or would they be able to run my info at the dealership and tell me?
I'm going to look into some of the other suggestions you guys made here as well.. Thank you!

i used chemical guys stain remover and the cloth seat shampoo. i got lazy and took over a year to clean my back seat after a buddy spilled soda over the back seat.

i actually cleaned them last night and after using the shampoo i could see the stain again. used some of the stain remover and scrubbing and all stains came out.

the difference in my drivers seat was amazing, and i didn't have to use a machine. I just used a little scrub brush and microfibers. i used a wetvac to suck up the dirt that was raised to the top.

I think it needs a deep clean and any cleaner you dab and brush at then wipe off may not work. You need something to deep soak and pull out, kinda like a wetvac.

I spent nearly 3 hours last week cleaning a 3rd of my rear bench seat. I have an upholstery cleaner that allows you to see what is being sucked out, so you know once the job is really done. After lightly spraying upholstery cleaner and subsequently spraying 60 ounces of water over the area, soap and dirt just kept coming up before the job was finally done.

I personally think the dab and wipe cleaners will just clean the surface and that cleaner will always be deeply rooted in the cloth with whatever stained the seat to begin with. It will eventually rise again.

I would pay to have it cleaned if you do not have an upholstery cleaner.

Trick I was taught for carpet, is original blue dawn soap with warm water in a spray bottle, white towel and an iron, soak the spot with the dawn and water, place white towel over spot and iron on medium heat, it should pull the stain into the white towel that way.
