hi everyone

i was just wondering if anyone had any idea how to get like 30's of dirt from my seats there faux leather and gray, iv tryed everything i could think of anyone know anything that might lift the dirt.

also one has a rip about 2-3 inch long, what would be the best idea when repearing it,  iv been lookin all over the net for new seat covers but my car in a limited addition silver fiat and doesnt have standard seat covers, and i was wanting to keep it in original condition if i could. 

if anyone could help would be helpful

Post a picture of the seats and rip, is it on the Vinyl or the material?

I cleaned mine with 'extraction cleaner' and a lot of elbow grease. Came up like new.

Carpets all come out and go in a washing machine )

I saw a chap use nail varnish and a cloth once, worked a treat, not sure if it's safe though so be careful if you do (!!)

i suppose it depends on the dirt...? i have the black version with orange tartan seats and they were filthy. i used 3rd of a bucket of warm water and a good dose of biological powder. go in circular motions with a clean white damp/wet dishcloth and you will see the dirt coming off on the cloth. repeat as necessary and let dry. 

for the rip, a quick repair would be to glue a patch under the rip. alternatively the covers do remove easily, remove and sew a patch underneath.

love your car. had i the space, i would have bid against you on it. glad you want to keep it stock, there aren't many limited editions left. from what i can work out less than 5

good luck
