Any suggestions for cleaning cloth seats/ and also rims?

[JEN]

I have beige cloth seats and I think that when I opened the sunroof, I had dew on my car.. and it blew onto my seats. I have what looks like water stains all over the back seat. I have tried every cleaning product I can think of, and it has only made it look worse!! Any suggestions???

Also, I have break dust all over my rims and I haven't had luck getting them really clean. If you know of a product that works well, let me know. Does any one else have the break dust issue?

As for the seats i'm not totally sure but what about something like carpet cleaner or upholstery cleaner? One of your local auto parts store should sell something like that,i'm sure somebody else will chime in with a product they've used. For the rims i think i use Eagle One tire/rim cleaner. It always says to let sit and hose off but i bought a brush for the rims and always scrub them once i spray it on and it removes all of the brake dust. IMO it does a better job if you do it that way,but they key is to do it atleast once every two weeks that way it doesn't cake on there and make it alot harder to remove.

Another way is to buy ceramic brake pads and wax the rims with rim wax. That should help with making sure the dust doesnt stick. Have you tried steam cleaning your seats and using upholsterycleaner. It worked very well on my floors

i found the car uphostery cleaners quite expensive, so i just use normal household uphostery cleaner works really well too.

i find breakdust just comes off quite easily with just normal carshampoo and either an alloywheel brush, or just a rag or sponge....just after i finished shampooing the car body i use the left over shampoo in the bucket to wash the wheels
