Hey guys, I've had the car only about 2 weeks and there's already a small black mark appearing on the driver's side seat. I've tried doing one cleaning with some sonar alcantara cleaner and a brush but it didnt come out. Anyone have any suggestions on removing this? Not sure what its from, the car wqs at a tint/ppf shop for a week getting work done.

Try P&S Terminator Enzyme Spot & Stain. Like all carpet or leather cleaners, test an inconspicuous spot for color fastness before proceeding. That stain doesn't look like it's too difficult to lift. It's likely dirt or grease/oil. Be careful with the fabric so as to not change the appearance and/or texture as you work the stain out.

This is why temporary car covers are a worthwhile purchase. You have a glut of options to choose from at varying price points. It's a good practice to cover your seats whenever you take the car for service at the dealership, tire shop, ppf/tint, sound shop, etc. If you don't want to invest in a proper cover, you can else opt for disposable plastic seat covers some dealerships use. Good luck and let us know how this works out for you.

I put a wrench on my seat awhile ago not realizing there was a bit of grime on it. Was able to get it out using one of my suede cleaners I use for my shoes. Maybe it'll work for you too.

Maybe that little eraser would work, I could give this a try.

Maybe I'll have to resort to this if the other eraser doesn't work. Just gonna add to my collection of cleaning materials. :thumbsup: I'll have to for sure look into some seat covers. I usually do all the work on my own, but the car came with 5 free oil changes that I might as well use so might be worth it.
