  • Sport seats cleaning

    I bought these seats From the SuperModel awhile back. They were pretty grimey. I wish I had a before pic to show. I figured they were too grimey for me and need professional help. Ive called several detail shops and car cleaning places and they all wanted $50- 60. The other day I drove by this place that has a sign advertising upholstery cleaning for $19.95 . Picked the seats up today. The difference is amazing. Money well spent I think. There is a four inch spot of the driver side seat where a seam has come apart so Ive arrange for an upholster friend fix this.

        $19.95 a seat? Good deal! I used to do upholstery cleaning and you couldn't get me to clean a pillow for $19.95. $40.00 minimum charge.

                  They look amazing! Bet Dan regrets he sold them now after seeing what 19.95 worth of cleaning can do.

                    even cheaper

                    I snipped my sport seat covers off at the junk yard, rolled them inside out, and he gave them to me for free. I took them home, threw them in the washing machine, hog ringed them on my old seats and ...



                    Washing machine is the only way to go in my opinion.
                    It is not for the faint of heart.
                    On the first soak, the water will be black as night!


                    Hey Fresh, Do you have the seat cover for the rear sport seat?
                    I saw a mint one at Corey's Auto Wrecker's in London, Ontario.

                      No that was $19.95 for both of them.

                      Yes I have the rear seat and the door panels as well. I was able to get the rear seat clean myself with my brisol stream cleaner.

                        I found the original before pic although it doesnt do the grime any justice. You can also see the seam separation on the drivers seat I mentioned.
