Attempted to remove stains from my driver's seat and...
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...32f5ed3e6a.jpg
This happened. Originally there were some some spots that were darker than the seats that I wanted to remove. I saw a tutorial on Youtube where a guy sprayed warm, soapy water on his seats and continually vacuumed it off until the stains were gone. I attempted to do the same and my seats look worse than when I started. As an OCD car guy this drives me nuts. Is there any hope that my seats will return to their original color? Note that the discoloration is MUCH more mild in real life, my camera made it a lot worse, there is just some lighter discolorarion. If anyone has any ideas or tips on how to get this out permanently that would be greatly appreciated. |
Are you sure your seats aren’t just still wet? |
Yup, it might take awhile for the foam and cover to dry out. You could use a hair dryer on its lowest setting to hasten the drying a bit and see if it looks any better if you didn't want to wait for it to dry on its own.

That's why I selected leather seats...

rent one of those cleaners that spray warm soapy water, and then, sucks the water out. that may be your best bet
|
Or how about trying to use a dedicated auto upholstery cleaner versus some home brew method? The white staining is probably just soap residue.

The second picture looks like you didn’t get the soap out of the upholstery. |

Where I live the water has a lot of minerals in it. It will stain everything. I've been told there is a lot of calcium in the water.
Believe it or not, I might try what you already did, but this time use distilled water. Spot test a small area and see if you can get it to look better. |
in the past when i have come across this...trying to even out the color on my seats...i would use a spray foam carpet cleaner and rub it in with a medium to soft bristle brush...then crack windows and let air dry.
