I have a 05 sport I don't like leather seats and that is one of the reason I bought a sport so I can have the cloth but these seats are terrible! they stain from any thing and are hard to clean. I like the older seats better ( 02-04 ) but I was told they would not work due to the airbags? is there any way around this?

Soap and water cleans them well.

My high school job was a car detailer at a higher end "car spa" and also at turtle wax. I have an 06 and yes even water stains the seat's. I use regular laundry detergent with a little fabric softner mixed in a bucket while using a soft nylon bristle brush and for the tougher stains use simple green it works great. You really need a wet dry vac otherwise areas that are soaked more will dry uneven and leave water stain lines. And about the air bag thing the drivers seat does not have a sensor, its the passenger side that has a pressure sensor so as when you have the weight of a baby on the seat it will deactivate the airbag on that side otherwise I assume if you have a seat without the sensor it will most likely just stay activated" no problem if you dont have a baby seat in front or small child", I havent really researched what years have them or not but you can look under the seat and see the unit and plug

I will try cleaning them again I used this turtle wax oxy clean but it really dident do much I just don't like seat covers because they never fit right would it be ok if I used a hair dryer or a heat gun to dry the seats faster?

Even though you may be able to blot the seat's with a towel with mixed results, a vacuum is what really pulls out the dirt and stains, you can see it when the vacuum nozzle is clear like in most professional units sometimes you have to shampoo then vacuum multiple times before you don't see anymore dirt being sucked up. Otherwise you are just kinda spreading the dirt around. If you don't have a wet dry vac you can use the ones from the coin operated car wash. Never thought about using a hair dryer before, but have used window fans to aid in the drying
