This drives me nuts. Makes the interior look so scruffy. I've used the stuff from BMW and AutoGlym upholstery cleaner but nothing lasts beyond a couple of weeks, sometimes just days. Thought of using some kind of fabric dye but not sure if this would work.
    Basically you need to have the seats extracted, so that the water is taken out of them, they preventing more staining.

    I use Autosmart Bio Brisk by hand, mist onto the fabric and scrub. I then extract the fluid.

    It is the same problem I have with the grey carpets in my car really. I do a lot of hill walking, cycling etc, so mud kicks about...I extract the dirt, but then I put some back in. Just go in circles.

    If you need any help, let me know.

    Thanks,
