    I used our Bissell shampoo/vaccum with the upholstery attachment, went out and bought some upholstery cleaning solution and followed the instructions, worked great but judging by the amount of junk I pulled out the previous owner must have shat himself while driving.

    I haven't tried this yet, but i've heard good things about using a steam cleaner (for upholstery and carpet cleaning) with a hand attachment and just givin' her. Also a suede brush will take off all those stupid bunched up pieces (maybe your seats dont have this though..)

    The seats are just really dusty and could use a good cleaning to bring them back to life

    Use a very stiff nylon brush to loosen the dirt and dry vacuum at the same time. You can use a hard ink eraser or cheap white rubber eraser to loosen some stain. If you have to you can use a very light coat of spray on "dry clean" foam type upholstery cleaner but don't soak the surface. Try to keep the suede as dry as possible so stay away from steam cleaner or shampoo vacuum, they will clean well but you will be pulling the oil out of the suede.

    Bad advice.. very stiff brush and 20yr old fragile fabric doesn't go together . #2. these seat ain't suede, they are simili-suede, fake suede, whatever you want to call it.

    There's nothing wrong with soaking the fabric, but the thing is that the foam could be very dry and the soap -water might damage more the foam. However, I cleaned 2 set of GTR seat with my extractor and I didn't get any problems.

    The fabric is already ultra-dry, no need to wash it dry. Maybe just water and microfiber to absorb the most of the dust.
