Harkus would be the man to ask,

All i use a foam from.a can.out of a pound shop or halfords interior stuff because it smells really nice
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Your to kind pal :p

I'm a professional Valeter / Detailer with over 13 years experience so know what know talking about here.

So you can wet and vac your seats with a number if chemicals how ever this is one consuming and a real pain in the ars, the wet and vac machines are expensive to purchase.

Chemical wise there's nout wrong with with auto smart chemicals when it comes to this. Get your self some Brisk nap low foam, do about 3/4 brisk an half warm water, spray the chemical on to the seats and suck out, repeat process until clean

Or... If you have access to a compressor get your awl a device called a "tornado mix half brisk and half G101, spray on to seats using scrubbing brush attached to end of tornado and simply spray and scrub for around 5 mins a seat, allow to dry and boom done.

Either way is wet affective pal it depends how much time, access to equipment and passions you have. Hope this help

Yes mate that's depending on how bad they are shouldn't take you more than an hour, make sure you do all the seat other wise it will dry patchy with marks and will need re doing.

So say you do the base then do all the base, of you do the backs do all the back including sides an tops, try not to get it on the windows other wise you'll hafta clean them to, wipe over the plastics after your done to :).

Did these today on a C-max using a tornado
