Everytime my seat gets wet, even if its just one water drop, it leaves a stain.Some guy had a cold bottle resting on the seat for a couple of minutes and it was a little wet on the bottom, and now 5 days later you can still see the ring. How do I remove that? |

just in case you haven't seen it, long thread over at Jeep forum about the same thing: http://jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=199784 lots of suggestions, don't know how effective any of them are. I can sympathize, i resorted to leather because i was sick of the staining after a few months. The jeep was brand new, and already starting to look ratty on the inside no matter how well i tried taking care of it. |

Thanks for the above link! Obviously alot of Jeep owners experience the same problem. There is a TSB for the stain problem: 23-015-06 WHITE COLOR WATER MARK-LIKE DISCOLORATION ON CLOTH SEAT SURFACE Date: 03/09/06 Model year(s): 2005-2006 Overview: This bulletin involves cleaning the cloth seat surfaces. Description: The customer may notice a white color streaking or discoloration on the cloth surface of a seat. The streaking may have a water mark-like residue appearance. The discoloration on the seat cloth surface may occur after the cloth fabric becomes wet and starts to dry. The cloth surface discoloration is due to an inert residue material (white in color) that has migrated to the top surface of the cloth seat fabric. The water mark-like residue ring is the loose residue material puddling and then collecting together as the cloth seat material dries. Diagnosis: If the customer experiences the above condition perform the Repair Procedure. Parts required: Dish Water Detergent Repar procedure: Perform this repair to all cloth seat surfaces in the vehicle. NOTE: Do not replace cloth seat covers for this condition. 1. Vacuum the cloth seat fabric. 2. Mix a solution of dish water detergent and WARM water. Do not use hot or cold water. 3. With a clean sponge, wet the vehicle cloth seat fabric. Dampen the cloth seat fabric. Do not allow the cloth seat fabric to become soaking wet or too dry. 4. With a soft brush, agitate the soap solution and the loose residue material. The intent is to mix and suspend the loose residue material into the soap solution. 5. With COOL water, rinse the cloth seat fabric to remove the soap and residue solution. 6. With a shop vacuum, vacuum the cloth seat fabric of any excess moisture. 7. Repeat the cool water rinse and vacuum. 8. Allow the cloth seat fabric to dry. *EDIT* Just went to Wolly World and bought some Scotchguard Oxy Cleaner. WOW that stuff really helps, no more stains. |
