- In today's video, we're gonna show you
one of the most effective ways (light music)
to take your seats from this to this.
(intense music)
What's up everybody?
Welcome back to the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
A good friend brought in his
brand-new Dodge Challenger into the shop
because he's been having some trouble
getting some milk stains off of his passenger seat.
He has a child who accidentally spilled
a little bit of his drink on the inside of the vehicle here,
and it's got fabric seats so it penetrated the surface,
and now it's dried, and it's left behind this light staining
as well as some light odor.
And we're gonna show you guys how to quickly
and easily remove all of that, and revive a fresh finish.
Now, we can do this by hand,
but we've decided to go with our drill brushes today
because this is one of the quickest ways to get this done.
And we have three different types here.
We have our heavy-duty red brush here
which has these stiffer nylon bristles.
(bristles snapping)
You can hear how stiff those bristles are.
And then we've also got a medium-duty yellow brush
which is good for cleaning off light to moderate staining
on any kind of fabric seats.
You can use it on leather seats,
as well as any kind of vinyl or plastic areas.
And then for today's job,
since we're working with porous and perforated fabric seats,
we're gonna be using very fine, light-duty brush.
This light bristle, this easily takes care
of the fine surface stains
or anything that could be taking
away from the overall look of your interior,
as well as any soft, sensitive areas on your vehicle.
And you can also use this around the house
for carpets or couches, things like that.
But to get rid of the staining on the surface here
we're gonna use some Lightning Fast,
and that's a stain extractor that you
simply spray on the surface or spray onto your brush,
scrub it away and wipe off an excess.
Now, this is something you don't need to dilute
because you can use it full strength
for heavy, set-in stains such as this milk stain
that we have here on this vehicle.
And you don't need an extractor, you don't need a vacuum.
All you have to do is simply prep the surface,
and then scrub, and remove any of that discoloration.
Before we begin scrubbing, (upbeat music)
we're gonna vacuum the seat.
And as I mentioned, we're gonna be using
the fine-bristle brush today
just because we're working with very sensitive material.
And also spray a little bit
of the Lightning Fast into the brush.
And we'll slowly work it into the seat
because it does have a foaming action,
but we also don't wanna make a mess here,
so we're just gonna slowly work it back and forth
until we lift up the stain,
and then I'll wipe off and show you guys the end results.
(drill whirring)
Bring in the drill now.

Now after working in the Lightning Fast into the seat,
I'm gonna take a clean microfiber towel
and just wipe off the excess.
And as most of you know,
but if you don't, for interior jobs,
we've dedicated our yellow towels for fabric
and basically any kind of interior surface besides leather
because this will show any kind of impurities,
or grime, or anything you pick up off the surface.
This way you are also not mixing up with some exterior towel
or something that could really damage
the inside of your vehicle.
So color-coordinating towels is important
for the best overall finish.
But you can see that this shows you
any kinds of things that were hiding
on the surface of your seats, dashboard, steering wheel.
Just this brown, nasty mess.
This can also be stains from seats,
or rather stains from your jeans,
or anything that's on the surface.
So wiping it away now.
Very clean, odors that have been lingering are removed now.
You don't smell that nasty milk residue.
And it's appears that the stain is gone.
So now that the top half of the seat is done,
we'll move on to the base here,
clean it up so that the whole seat matches.
And then once it's thoroughly dry,
we're going to apply a fine coat of fabric guard
which is gonna prevent future stains such as this one,
and it's also adds longevity to your fabric and fibers.
This way they don't discolor, or start fading,
or just looking nasty over time.
So as I'm doing that,
you guys can head over to our website, chemicalguys.com.
If you like this video,
if you got a car in the same situation,
give this video a thumbs up,
and as always, I'll see you guys next time
right here in the Detail garage.
