Why not just remove the seat covers and get them dry cleaned cause your gonna wanna clean the foam underneith anyways. Its really easy to remove the covers.....I had to do it on my 2000 SS seats

the can of stain remover he's referring to (or atleast a different brand of one) is called power out. It always worked pretty good for me, but anything it couldnt get out, I used a scrub brush, some castrol super clean and a shop vac

Cut them out??? I never had to cut mine out. All I did was seperate the backrest from the seat bottom and then remove the springs and unclip the plastic tabs. Very easy. I had to on my passanger seat cause of.....blood..... and then changed the cushion with a non bloodied one...LOL. Thats what happens to friends involved in bar fights. 7 stiches and a win and I become the hospital driver

this is the important part. if u use a steam cleaner it just sucks it up through the seat covers. do what he said thats the correct way.

My girlfriend pukes BK Whoppers all over the place. I use home spray can upholstery cleaner. Then let it soak. Then finish it off with a good steam cleaning. Finally let it sit in the sun to dry. Gets that nasty Mayo smell out and has never left a permanate stain. I wont go in to the details of how hard it was to clean up everything after she shot a Big Mac all over the windshield!!

Take the covers off and wash them in the washer..I know it sounds screwed up but I did my 92 seats like that and they came out brand new looking. Just dont use much soap.

Yes, but its been more then just 2 times. If we eat at BK its a 50% chance I will be a mop and bucket crew.
One time it was my fault since I was whipping it thru corners on a windy mountain road and she got car sick. Those logging truck drivers sure get testy and blow there air horns a lot!!
