    Upholstery cleaning.

    Hey Guys,

    I’m in the market for something to clean fabric seats with. I’ve seen a lot of spot cleaners but i need something that’s safe enough to use on the all the cars fabric interior (roof, seats, carpets). The fabric inside the car is in good condition (with the exception of one little mark) and I just want to make sure the product I buy is safe for regular cleaning of it all.

    Any advice you can give would be great and any other tools to use with the product would be helpful to.

    Many Thanks
    Jay

    I've heard good things about chemical guys fabric clean. Price is very good considering the dilution ratio but I haven't tried it yet. Much cheaper than folex.

    Yes, CG Fabric Clean is great stuff. Dilutes 1:20. Depends whether Folex dilutes or not but 16 oz. of CG FC will make over 2 gallons. (16*21=336 336/128=2.63 gallons).

    I have been using the CG Fabric Clean @ 20:1 and have good results with it. I have also been using Megs APC+ with good results. There are tons of products and most will give you good results, you just need to try and few and find the ones you like using.

    +2 on Folex it's the only thing been using for over 8 years never let me down and you can buy anywhere. The best is you don't have to Oder it which saves money.
