My seats have a lot of faint water mark staining and I’m struggling to get rid of it. I’ve tried a Simoniz foaming seat shampoo that cleans well but won’t get out these marks. I don’t want to spend too much but I could make an exception for a really good product.

Hard to see in pictures unfortunately but you can kind of pick up on the discoloration.

Either Sonax upholstery cleaner or Chemical Guys lighting fast stain remover.

Do you want to e-mail me your new address and I’ll send you some Valet Pro Enzyme Odour Eater and some Valet Pro All Purpose Cleaner.

Tuff Stuff. It’s like $3 a can and does wonders.

I appreciate the offer mate, but I could always pick some up myself. I’ll be needing it plenty since these seats keep picking up marks (I use the car for work these days.)

It looks like they do an amazing job based on the pictures.

I second the Tuff Stuff recommendation, should take care of that in short order:

The VP EoE can be diluted 5:1 for use and the VP APC can be diluted 20:1 for use. All of the Valet Pro range is very good and will clean these.

The seats in the Twingo are a strange texture and best tackled a whole panel at a time as water marks are very easily left.

You’ll need some cleaner, a nylon nail cleaning brush (for awkward spots) Anne plenty of clean microfibres if you don’t have a wet’n’dry vacuum.

Valet Pro products can be had from many places online such as elitecarcare (go for the one litre size as it’s more cost effective than the 500ml RTU spray bottles and 500ml concentrates.

Seems like decent stuff but I’ve tried a similar foam cleaner and it didn’t do the job. The material on these seats is really odd.

Cheers for the advice! Renault did use really unusual fabrics for the Twingo’s. The standard seats I had in it before the RS ones were even worse. The only car I’ve had that was worse to keep clean was my Fiat Panda. Bright blue fragile fabric wasn’t ideal...

Ye’, the standard Twingo seats were awful. There was a lass across the road who’s Twingo I often cleaned. It’s hard to describe the material, sort of a rubberised fabric that didn’t take too kindly to being cleaned or scrubbed.
