Can anyone tell me if there is a similar product to Woolite with a different name? Here in little old New Zealand we can't get Woolite and I dont want to go using the wroing product on my Recaros.

I used a product called "Zero by Woolite".

When I brought my Yellow ITR Recaro Seats from Japan they were very dirty and the way I cleaned them was the following.

Started early on a warm day.
Placed the seats on a clean blanket.
Soaked them completely with water.
Mixed OXI CLEAN soap with warm water
Scrubbed them with a brush had medium grade bristles. (Not to hard or soft)
Focused on one area at a time and made sure the area I was working on was very wet.
Scrubbed them in one direction.
Rinsed them once again with water.
When they were all clean, I used microfiber towels to soak up excess water.
Then allowed them to dry outside.
Results were amazing and looked brand new when I was done.

I'll probably start another DIY thread when I'm done since it's not really related to this technique, but here's a little before/during preview

Whoops, I forgot I said I was going to do this. I discovered that the seats are really nice to sit in while playing Guitar Hero, so I have not been working on restoring them lately

Yup. EP3-R from either Japan or Europe.

Anywhere between $1000-$1500 seems to be the going rate.
