    Red face is this a stupid idea

    so my car interior that i bought of a ugly drug ####ed transsexual c*m dumpster hermaphrodite retard is extremely dirty. ive cleaned the carpet and seats with carpet shampoo and vacuumed it many times etc.
    i removed my dash, door trims,roof lining and gave them a good old squirt with high pressure soap at my local car wash.
    Now my seats and carpet are still badly stained so is it a stupid idea to remove my carpet & seats from my car and take them to a car wash where no one will recognize me and give them a good ol squirt with the high pressure hose?
    maybe even vacuum the water out.

    Have you tired Armour All: Carpet/Upholstery Cleaner?

    I've used that on some decent stains (soft drink, coffee, chocolate), there's also a spot cleaner you can try. I've found these to be pretty good and strong cleaning products, much more powerful than Kitten I've found.

    You can wash them out I'd think, but watering my interior wouldn't be my first choice.

    ive had my interior preofesional steam cleaned in the past was only like $50-$70 i would consider that before soaking my interior with water or better yet hire the cleaner there only like $30 for the day do your carpet seats and all

    Yeah fuzzy it's a silly idea. The seats will take forever to dry completely. Better to use a good quality product designed for cleaning upholstery or take it to a car detailer and pay to have the cum stains removed.

    Either go to a car wash that was a Carpet cleaner machine thingo (sale has one if Morwell/Traralgon doesnt).
    Or buy a steam cleaner, or a steam mop thingo. I have used a steam cleaner spray thing in the past, and the Steam cleaner mop worked fantastic to remove the massive rusty water stains I left on my missus immaculate seat, she doesnt even go on about it any more.

    Depending on the material you can use degreaser then hit it with a high pressure washer... Allow for it to dry then repeat if needed.


    I wont do that to my calais seats but I done it to my old stock exec seats and came up fantastic, and they were absolutely disgusting...

    no harm it it if u do it right, gurney and waterproof vac was how we cleaned the filthy farm utes way back when i was a detailer..

    spray the seats/carpet with degreaser, scrub it good with a scrubbing brush then gurney from side to side working from top to bottom, then vacuum out all the water u can with a waterproof vac. leave it in the sun all day and it will be good to bolt back in by the end of the day

    You can do a similar thing with upholstery cleaner. Just wet the seats and get onto them with upholstery cleaner and scrub them till all the Jizz comes out. I reckon i'd be hosing them off after that though. Thats assuming you don't have electric seats..

    It was a stupid question. And a ####en insane idea.

    Getting them cleaned by the pros may not be as expensive as you might think. I would give that a go before i go all ape shit with the high pressure hose.
    Maybe go to a furniture shop and ask them questions on how to clean stains off of a sofa. (the reason i said furniture shop is detailers wouldnt want to give away their secrets).
    Free advice and DIY is cheaper than paying the pros.

    as i said above i used to detail for a living, and the only way we would get really filthy seats spotless was to go apesh1t with the gurney and degreaser. give it a try before u write it off as insane

    thanks for the help so far.
    i removed my carpet and gave a few different cleaning products a try, they did remove some of the unidentified slime and dirt but not alot.
    after that i went and used a Carpet cleaner machine at a car wash on the carpet and seats it removed a fair bit of shit from both butt alot of stains were still there.
    the carpet was still dirty and the seats were still abit dirty so i maned up and went to a deserted car wash and gave the carpet a squirt with engine and wheel clean then high pressure soap and rinsed it with the high pressure rince, when i got
    home i chucked it on my lawn to dry.
    i didnt have the balls to squirt my seats.

    Far out, What the F did they get up to in the back seat ? Looks like a bitch has delivered a litter in there .... or someone's been gangbangin in you car.
    You got nothin to loose doing the same treatment to those seats. As long as the jet isn't strong enough to cut the fabric there should be no drama. I reckon the chemicals will do most of the work, and a garden hose should work after that.

    trust me, degrease-scrub-gurney-vacuum-leave in the sun for a day.

    gurney is better than a garden hose cos they put out way less water but with way more pressure
