2006 seats

Ridgeram · Jan 9, 2012

HI all,
I have a 06 QC with grey interior.
it has tonns of water stains in the seats and carpet.
i used my parents house carpet cleaner on the carpets and it worked great after shampooing them, not sure if i should use it on the seats tho.
what is recomended practice to shampoo these seats. they seem to stain with anything that touches it!!!

With my '06 and cloth seats, I just evenly stained them, with a wet cloth, and when they dried they looked fine. but yes, they will "stain" with anything.

wow, never heard of this method, guess its worth a shot

BlackedOutHemi · Jan 9, 2012

It was the only way I could get rid of the water stains. Lol.

Did the 06 seats just not get treated at the factory with a sealer?

my 06 seats are terrible about this. i just gave up.

This was a reason that I bought custom leather for my truck, I was tired of the stains and cloth.

even though they stain easily, I would definitely choose cloth over leather any day...i have some nice lookin seat covers on mine..a nine year old truck and not one stain..not even from the previous owner

That's odd, what about just a simple auto carpet/upholstery cleaner from the auto parts store?

bigbadram1500 · Jan 9, 2012

hmm, not sure what would be best to use since they are prone to staining. I do know that a foaming bathroom cleaner is very good at getting stains out. Maybe try it on a hidden area and see if it stains or not.

Any cleaners I ever used stained the cloth as well.

Why?!!! Cloth stains easy, collects lint and is harder to just wipe off a simple spill.

The only thing that I feel cloth has on leather is less of an issue with hot and cold temps. Solution heated and ventilated seats.

Lasts longer and higher resale.

+1. leather really changes the looks of a truck too, makes it more luxurious

ol'red02 · Jan 10, 2012

completely agree!! wish i could afford leather!!

Bluesmoke91 · Jan 10, 2012

I guess im alone on this one lol...idk why I just feel more comfortable in cloth seats..the temperature thing was right on the money for me..i feel like leather would rip easily with all the crap im used to throwing in the truck...and I go for a less luxurious look on interior...my next truck will have the plastic floor liner installed and all carpet removed if i cant find one with it already... no two tone interior...just that stock dark grey that is almost black.

Any luck with removing the stains?

07BlueRam · Jan 11, 2012

My seats are great i have had coffee spilled on them and i just wiped them off with a rag i had in my truck

DOAX · Jan 11, 2012

buy seat covers

ive cleaned the seats in 06+ rams 100s of times there is no good way to clean them most cleaners leave an even bigger stain on top of the existing one

only thing that kinda works is to vac them bone dry as soon as you scrub them even then they still stain

Mr_Nacho · Jan 11, 2012

To do it the hard but effective way is to take out the seats and put the water hose to them. Use upholstery cleaner on the spots and scrub. Let them sit outside and dry, and use an compressed air hose to prevent spots from forming. I took my back seat out and did this, took about a day in the summer for it to dry.
