Do you mean dust on the surface or dust thats actually in the foam of the seats?

Try hitting the seat with a hoover on?  :rolleye: :rolleye: :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

Dust like in the seats. I work in the building trade so they've become a little dusty but would like to restore them before putting seat covers on.

Charles!

Just bought one and they are awesome. I wiped the seats down, used interior shampoo and a mixture of other stuff to wash, then just sucked clean with Charles. I've heard George is better because he sucks and blows :innocent: Mine came up great, took all the water marks out too, they look great!

take it to the carwash and leave the windows down :signLOL:

all you can do is have the vac on and hitting the seats. I think making it wet will just mix with the dust and stain it

I recently bought a Passat Estate that we think had been owned by a Vet, the inside was dirty beyond belief. We used a combination of a steam cleaner and a our Bissel carpet cleaner stair attachement and it came up a treat, if its deeply inground may take a few attempts.

If you can't get access to a wet vac, I'd use a stiff brush to loosen the dirt and vacuum.
