You don't want to be rubbing on the seats, you're going to wear right through the outer layer and the seats are going to wind up needing to be re-dyed.

You're not using the right products and techniques. Again...if you would read that thread...all that information is in there.

Here's a nice video of a pro detailer showing how efficient steam cleaning can be when compared to standard cleaning products: https://youtu.be/4Bd_IqK5ydU

Never knew that. Steaming the seats looked like the best results with minimum effort... Nice thanks !
