so what cleaner do you guys recommend to use on seats and carpets in our car. My interior is intact but, during the resurrection the seats got dirty from the old parts.

Leather or Cloth?

Whatever you choose to use, please use in a inconspicous area.
Some cleaners can discolor and stain some fabrics.

You want to use the least invasive cleaner, first.
Most upholstery cleaners will do the trick.
Tuff Stuff works well for stubborn stains.

I have a steam cleaner, so whatever dirt is loosened is sucked up immediately!
On most cleaners there is a dry time, most people are impatient or did not factor enough time.
It is important to let it dry and then vacumm the dried up shampoo/dirt out.

Don't use too much moisture with the carpet as it may get into the insulation and never seem to dry.

I have a 'Little Green Clean Machine' that I use in my vehicles and it works great. I use ordinary Bissell upholstery cleaner and I add a small amount of Febreeze laundry odor remover. Smells nice afterwards.
