Default "Professional" Interior Detailing

Alright guys, there have been MANY posts on exterior detailing and a while ago I started a post on exterior detailing (https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...detailing.html) but now I am wondering what you guys use on your interior. The interior of my hawk literally looks as good as it did the day it rolled off the showroom floor but it is my truck that needs work. I have used plenty of over-the-counter stuff from your local autoparts store with success for the most part, but leaving me with one main problem - easily stained fabric seats. My truck is an '06 Dodge Dakota (Night Runner edition for those that might be familiar) and the fabric they used is CRAP. Water stains the seats. It's ridiculous, and then when I use product on it, it will leave a ring and the original water stain looks worse! I have tried so many products, what methods and products are you guys using?

for those interested, my dakota

Folex is good and also Chemspec traffic lane cleaner.

If you have a good wet dry vac, you can wet he carpet and brush it good, then get out as much of the water as possible with the vac. Repeat if not happy with results. Then take a fan or air mover and air dry it the rest of the way.

I use a dry vapor steamer to heat transfer the stains, and a extractor to flush the carpet if it's really bad. But it's about a 1500 dollar investment to get that gear.

Tuff Stuff for mild carpet and upholstery stuff and folex for really dirty carpet, a stiff brush and a few passes may be needed.
