I have a client who has a '12 Ford Fiesta with what looks like nylon seats, when chemical is applied it leaves behind a stain. My technique is vaccum, apply chemical (APC), scrub, vaccum and water extract. The stain of coffee will be gone, however now you can see a new stain from the chemical, water (plain water) does the same thing. I need help with this...if you need pic to help me, let me know. Thank you advance!

That's odd. Is there still a stain after it dries?

I wonder if steam would stain?

have you tried a carpet cleaner like Folex? I'm not a fan of using APC on seats.

I have only used APC or Detailer's carpet cleaner

Do you have an extractor or a steamer?

I have a very cheap water extracter "spot bot". I have to really rely on scrubing.

Are you using distilled water.

Just regular tap water

Stupid cheap seats...Sounds like you've got some wicking or water rings going on. Clean the entire seat, uniformly, with you choice of APC. Crack the windows, start the car, and crank on the heat. I also ad a couple small heaters, but you don't need them. As the seat begins to dry, lightly mist with FOLEX and blot or rub the stain out gently (Push too hard and the fabric will just soak back up whatever crap is in the cushion).

You made need to repeat a few times as the area dries. For some reason folex tends to work better if the fabric is not really wet, which is why its a great spotter
