Default Moisture spots on seat

hey everyone. i was wondering if anyone else has/had this problem.

one day i go out to my car from work and i notice that i have some very noticeable moisture spots on my driver's seat. i've NEVER spilled anything in my car and i was wondering how to get rid of them. i've tried to use a damp rag but that didn't help. i'm afraid to use soap in fear i'll make something worse. any thoughts?

Just try some carpet cleaner spray you can get at auto parts stores.

Blue Corral (sp?) carpet/upholstery cleaner. For home or auto use. And my car smelled amazing for about a week. Make sure you clean your vacuum attachments/hose inside and out or the dirt rubs off on seats, at least mine did.

^^ I 2nd that! If it's just sweat or rain on the seat, wet the seat down then quickly dry.. Should come right out. I think there is a finish on our seats.

I been having the same spots finding it harder and harder to remove. Probably once in a while I recommend a shampooing it.

I agree with others. My girl has really bad water spots all over the place..and you would think adding more water would make the seats worst but I can see adding water and a quick rub that would do the job. Our seats are made of a scotch proof material. So when you get a stain, you just have to rub it to get it off. In this case, you most likely need water.
