Default How do you clean the seats?

Wondering how everyone cleans then treats the seats they work on. If you don't mind I would appreciate the names of the brands/tools you use, also what you products you recommend and ones you don't. Thank you!

My procedure as of now.....

Cloth seats - Vac then apply ProChem TLC followed by hot water extractor (Mytee 8070) with rising agent. Maxim advanced fabric protector.

Leather - Leather Masters strong cut 1:1 with distilled water from a foaming bottle (strong straight if needed) Work it with a sponge followed by LM protection cream.

If you don't have an extractor...

Try using a foam or aerosol upholstery/carpet spray and scrub and work in with a medium bristle brush. After that, you can use a spray bottle of warm water to soak the seats, and a wet/vac to suck up the liquid.

If you don't have time, skip the water spray and just use the wet-vac to suck up any left over soap or chemical. Then dry with a towel.

For leather it couldn't be easier, soak with leather cleaner (lexol, pinnacle, w/e), spray each seat down, wait a couple of minutes, work it in with either a leather sponge or mf towel. Then buff off. Apply leather conditioner, same process, and buff it off well.
