Miracle in a bottle

[Shinystang]

I recently detailed a 2003 Toyota Highlander. The owner was almost too embarrassed to leave the car, saying it was "too dirty". She has two small children and a dog....

I used 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover on the tan cloth seats....and the results were amazing. I mean AMAZING!!!!

Here's the before and after pics of the interior.

Great turn around. Did you use 303 Fabric Protector? This stuff repels water like water on a ducks back.

Those seats look good. What was your procees with the 303?

[Shinystang]

They way I used the 303 was to spray the seats with a fairly heavy amount and then work it in with a nylon brush. I let it dwell about 15 minutes.

Initially I tried to use a hot water extractor to remove the residue, but actually just using the vacuum alone worked best. (Maybe the hot water rinse diluted the 303 cleaner that was in the material?) I sprayed the trouble spots a second time and agitated it again with the brush, then blotted up the area with a white terry cloth towel.

I would say that about 90% of the stain was gone after the first spray /agitate. It was probably overkill to do it a 2nd time, but I had never worked with the product before.

As I said before, I'm not a detailing expert....I do it for enjoyment. I just couldn't believe how well this stuff works.

FWIW, the Cleaner and Spot Remover and the Convertible Top Cleaner are the same product with different packaging and instructions geared towards their intended use.

Also......
The Fabric and Vinyl Cleaner is a more concentrated version of the two previous products. It can be and probably should be used in a diluted mixture as per the instructions on the bottle.
