Got some new toys for the project....They're a lil dirty, well ALOT dirty, but I got these basically for free so I won't complain. Does anyone know if I can dye these seats another color, or atleast clean them real well. <img src="http://www.clubhonda.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif" alt="Confused" width="15" height="22">

Actually if you go to a carpet place, or big hardware store...you should be able to buy a yellow stain to put on the cloth

I don't know if they have it there but they sell this stuff called Tuff Stuff here. Works the best on cleaning interiors.

If you can find it there you can try Oxy Clean or something of the sort. I always thought that stuff was a joke cause of the guy on TV who does the infomercial but it actually works.

Tru...I appreciate the help, if the laundry detergent dont work, I'll try and use some of that Oxy Clean crap or some of that stuff Paradox said.I dont really dig the yellow, but at the same time I dont wanna spend the money in re-upholstering them cuz that is less money for the motor....so hopefully it wont look too ugly in the car. <img src="http://www.clubhonda.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif" alt="Razz" width="15" height="15">

Oh BTW.....Civicbeater, what the heck were you saying about buying a yellow stain????

OopsSS, forgot about the color...If you have or know someone that has an airbrush, you can change the color of the seats that way. It would be cheap and effective just a little time consuming.

Sure will hold. I used to airbrush t-shirts when I was younger (when I was a juvenile into graffitti) and I used to wash them. It would take a while for them to fade away. I also did the cloth on my cousins interior a ways back and it held up really well until he just had the whole thing redone.

When use the paint in the air brush you have to mix it with some thinner so it becomes almost like an ink and when it dries it doesn't become hard. Try it out on a small inconspicuous spot and see how you like it. If you don't like it then atleast you didn't ruin the seat.

Soak them in bleach, and then dye them black.

Dont bother cleaning the yellow, it just gets dirty again.

And besides, unless you have yellow interior, the seats will look tacky and out of place...

LOL....see this is exactly my dilema...I think this material is real tricky...I cant brush it, cuz even with the softest brush it gets stuck in the fabric...so I dont know how I can scrub it or put any kind of cleaner on it, if i cant rub it and get in there and scrub it....Screw it...if I have to they will go in dirty till I can recover them.. <img src="http://www.clubhonda.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif" alt="Frown" width="15" height="15">

Theres always an alternative. Seat covers <img src="http://www.clubhonda.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15">

I'd look for some silk seat covers. I love the way silk feels. I have these silk boxers thay feel sooooooo good. Everytime I wear them when I go to sleep, I dream about my girlfriend's mom.

no matter what you're going to have to clean them. dye looks much more consitant when applied to clean fabric- think clear cryan on paper and then painting over it with water colors (does anyone else remember that?) now, if a brush is not going to work, like you say, i'd go with a good steam cleaner. i know you can rent them here in the states, but i'm not sure about deutchland... anyway, see if a friend has one, or access to one. there are chemicals that will deff. help too. you could also email MOMO and ask them what they recomend as far as cleaning is concerned. and i'm tapped.
