A considerable amount of unused Mobil 1 10w30 was spilled on my passenger seat. I'm having trouble getting all of the oil out of the Alcantara material. Looking at the seat close up, it looks 95% normal. When you touch the seat, you can clearly feel the oil. I'm not sure how to get the rest of the oil out. I don't know if it will simply dry, or whether I'm going to have an extra slick passenger seat from hear on out.

I'm looking for any suggestions to clean it up. I've cleaned it with rags, and a 5hp wet/dry vac. I've gotten to a point where I can't seem to get any more oil out using these methods.

 

Try some waterless hand cleaner to cut the oil then shampoo.

 

Shampooer. You can try that Auto upolstry cleaner in the can comes with a brush cap. Many companys make it

 

yikes, there is no easy way to get out oil from most fabrics. best of luck

 

Try some of that OXI clean.I used it on my headliner to get some grease out and it worked great.

 

here is the key to all your troubles...
can use it in the interior and engine. This stuff works like a charm

you linked to this thread.

 

What works well to clean the seats anyway?

 

Carpet shampooer works really well. A little hard to use because the water beads up on the alcantara, but it does work. Also ive had good luck with the Prestone (think thats the brand) auto interior cleaner.

 

yeah i did link to this thread. Don't see how i didn't catch that. Anways...here is what i was supposed to link to...

i would leave this one to the professinals like the dealer, that way if they mess it up they have to give you a new seat. If your cars modded then just take it to a good detail/bodyshop.

 

I personally would take it to a detailer shop, an tell them to clean that seat! thats my suggestion

 

 

 

^ Is that stuff like Simple Green (strong all-purpose cleaner)?
