    Folex stain remover is good for cleaning up patches or an all purpose cleaner like meguiars APC.

    STEAM!!!! seriously is amazing, call around, renting a good steamer is cheap and does what no cleaner or shampoo could clean.

    I'm going to be heading around to a few full service auto detail places to get some prices on steam cleaning the seats.

    Have you tried upholstery shampoo? I've never seen a seat stain that that stuff doesn't remove.

    Yep, that's the method. My driver's seat had that gross baked-on sweaty grime from all the times I hop in my car after mountain biking in the summer. It was almost like caked-on wax on the bolsters that come in contact with my arms.

    I tried some Power Out upholstery cleaner and a brush, but that didn't seem to do much. I finally scrubbed with hot water on a wash cloth, and it was almost zero effort; the stuff came out in 30 seconds. My seat looks almost new, instead of 8 years like it really is.

    I love our seats but suede takes a beating and if you don't stay on top on them they end up all funky and green looking.

    I love the non EP owners on craigslist posting Green Suede EP Seats!

    It's funny but for anyone who has common sense knows Honda never put green suede in anything from the factory.

    its not suede, its a synthetic suede called alcantara.

    Do some research, the seats can be cleaned, with water or cleaners

    Put it this way...

    I've detailed my car myself on the outside because of my years of working in a paint shop but the inside i've let alot of different companies take a wack at the interior and haven't been impressed yet!

    I'll do some more research but i've always loved getting my car done proffesionally on the inside!

    a terry cloth towel and some hot water do wonders. I never use any type of product on the seats.
