are you insane? i dont think he wants to recover the seats just clean them.

Ima detailer this is what i do. go to advance, napa, pep boys or whatever parts store is in your area and buy some carpet cleaner or shampoo whatever you can find and buy a small soft brush. vaccum the seat really good use an air gun if you have access to that. use whatever car soap you have put a little bit in a bucket add water put your mit in there. spray the carpet shampoo on the seat and used the soapy water scrub the seat use the brush as needed vaccum extra water let dry in sun.

there are numerous threads on this in the archives...one popular one is using suede cleaner kit from a shoe store works well, ive heard even palmolive in very small amounts with distilled water rubbing with your finger and wiping away with a clean rag and set out to dry...and the other is actually a seat cleaner they sell at kragen etc. i forget the name though sorry...search there is alot

I cleaned mine when I got them back to the states, they were very filthy and smelled like cigarettes.

I soaked mine with a hose(cold water) and scrubbed them with a medium bristle brush. Then let them dry in outside.

If you dont have enough time to let them dry outside, make sure you blot all the water out with towels and then let them dry in room temperature.
