I own a 2006 Honda Civic Sedan. Brown interior. >150k miles. I bought it new and have been the sole owner.
When I first bought the car I sprayed scotch guard on the seats because that's all I knew. Not sure it was the best idea, but I was ignorant. Over the years the cloth seats have just taken a beating. Some spots are so worn on the driver's seat they are black. BLACK! Seriously!? :mad:
I've tried using carpet shampoo with the shampooer machine (borrowed from my folks). That didn't really do anything. Some stains are just in there so good, I'm not even sure they can be removed. At this point I honestly think my only real options are to invest in some good seat covers or buy new seats (salvage yard, in which case they probably aren't great either). I'd like to not go these directions and prefer to salvage what I can, though.
Here's a picture of the front driver's seat:

Any links or suggestions on techniques, product, etc would be greatly appreciated. Or, heck, your opinion on if it's worth pursuing at all. :o
Thanks in advance,
Erin
