Never heard of either of the cleaner's you used, so I can't say for sure. It doesn't seem as though it bleached the fabric because the spot you sprayed it darker now than the rest of the seat. You could try another cleaner on a hidden spot and see what happens.Thanks for the suggestion. I took the picture the day after I sprayed the seats. The reason I sprayed directly on was because of a couple stains that I wanted to remove. It was a foam so I figured it would lift the stain and allow me to wipe it away.
Would it help to use another cleaner? Tuff Stuff for example?
Surely they must sell Scotchguard in Canada? Over the years most of my cars came with this and some other cheesy Dealer add-on's that they try to charge you for.Never heard of either of the cleaner's you used, so I can't say for sure.

Some had good luck with tossing them in the washing machine if you are going that far to remove and replace. I'm just not that confident with removing the clips that hold them on.I found out it's possible to just buy new seat fabric from GM Parts Direct, I'm gonna go that route once I have some extra money for it. Once the light grey seats are dirty they're very difficult to clean.
I tried that method, it didn't clean them literally at all, I couldnt believe it. They do smell better though haha. And I feel you on the clips, I only did my driver seat and cannot get the bottom cushion clipped back on (at least not without removing the seat) and the weird seam clips are impossible to reclip, I just have loose covers now haha.Some had good luck with tossing them in the washing machine if you are going that far to remove and replace.

Exactly! From the one post, they were one time use or something like that. I think you had to remove the seats to re clip them properly.I tried that method, it didn't clean them literally at all, I couldn't believe it. They do smell better though haha.

When I removed them it seems totally possible to reuse the seam clips, there's no damage to them, but it's such a strong piece and since it's literally in the foam pushing them together gets you nowhere cuz it just pushes back into the foam lol. I'm cool with them being loos in the middle as long as I can get the bottom cushion clipped on the sides again.Exactly! From the one post, they were one time use or something like that.

Good to know for when/if I get new covers. I wont worry about reattaching mine since I'm just gonna take them back off eventually.just added a 2nd link with link to pics in that 1st post.
Your negative comments aren't necessary. If you don't have anything constructive to say about something then don't post at all. Maybe you should read again; I explained what was wrong with what he did so it doesn't happen again while providing a possible solution.Live trash I think he gets it that he made a mistake you don't need to give useless hindsight.
Noticed this thread on cleaning seats. Glad to see my How To posted on removing the covers. I haven't gotten much feedback on people trying it. With one hand on each side of " the bar" sewn into the seat material push it down into the clip in the pad. When you removed the seat material hopefully you didn't pull so hard you ripped the clips out of the foam. They are attached pretty firmly. "The bar" sewn into the seat material is plastic, and can also be bent slightly, allowing you to thread it through the clip, rather than pressing down trying to get it to clip in.Exactly!

I appreciate it. I didn't have a problem with your initial post.I explained what was wrong with what he did so it doesn't happen again while providing a possible solution.
I know, it's just that other irrelevant guy thought he'd try to start something so I was just stopping it before it got anywhere.I appreciate it. I didn't have a problem with your initial post.
I'm leaning towards trying some Tuff Stuff and seeing if it will blend the streaks. The cloth material in the Cruze is different than I'm used to. They're comfortable, but I find them hard to clean and keep clean.
