Simoniz Car Upholstery Cleaner, Award Winning Car Carpet Cleaner For Deep Clean & Fast Stain Removal, Essential Car-Cleaning Products, Quick-Drying Car Seat Cleaner For Outstanding Results, 400ml

I bought this product because my car interior was starting to look a little "grubby". I guess there's no other reason to buy it but I wanted to set out my stall early. The fabric of my seats looked like a team of mud-wrestlers had been practising their moves in my car and spilled hot chocolate all over the place as a result. It resembled the aftermath of a low-level dirty protest.Okay, so that's a SLIGHT exaggeration but you get the picture. The seats needed cleaning. Badly.First things first, don't bother trying to use the product in its assembled format. You see, the brush assembly rotates and before you know it, the spray nozzle is no longer pointing through the intended aperture. Also, depending on how hard you depress the button, you can get an accumulation of foam around the aperture which ends up dropping off onto your clothes or somewhere other than its intended destination.Carefully take the silver coloured plastic applicator brush off the can CAREFULLY. Prize it gently upwards on one side until it pops off the rim of the can. You now have an ordinary looking aerosol in one hand and an applicator / agitator brush in the other. If you have a THIRD piece (colloquially known as a spray nozzle) on the floor, you've done it wrong. You have been warned!Apply a thick layer of the foam to the entire surface of the seat and let it sink in for a couple of minutes. You'll know it's time when the fizzing stops. Then, take the brush and keeping the motion largely forwards (reversing the brush is pretty harsh and whilst it may be fine for hard-to-remove, ground in dirt, it's not really necessary for daily grime) brush along the weft of the fabric. You'll see, almost immediately, that the foam begins to reappear and goes from pearly white to grubby brown.That, dear friends, is dust, mud, fibres from clothing, dead skin, sweat, food, drink, cigarette ash... you name it, it's coming right back up.Now take a micro-fibre cloth (although a clean porous cloth will do if you don't have one) and move it around the fabric in a circular motion to pick up the newly exposed dirt. After a minute or so, the cloth will be dirty and your seats will be clean.Repeat this process however many times it takes to restore the glory of your car interior and remember to put a carrier bag on the driver's seat for a day or so should you need to drive anywhere. Unless, of course, you're able to leave the car doors open on a warm day, in which case the seats should be dry within a couple of hours. This stuff doesn't saturate your seats but it will leave an embarrassing circle of moisture on the seat of your trousers should you neglect to use some form of barrier.Apparently. Ahem.So, my conclusion?This stuff is fantastic.It doesn't have a "new car scent" but then nothing branded as having "new car scent" ever does. The smell of a new car is a combination of freshly moulded plastic, adhesives, fabric and electronics. You can't bottle that. If you want a "new car scent", you're just going to have to buy a new car, I'm afraid.It smells fresh. Lemon is the overwhelming fragrance. Very pleasant. Much better than the stale odour that accumulates over time.And yes, this stuff is really, really effective. I used about a quarter of the can cleaning my car interior and I've re-assembled the can and popped it in the garage for future use.My car interior looks like new. Seriously - this stuff isn't a gimmick. It's absolutely superb.

easy to use and did a decent job

Works as it should on light stains such as spilled coffee, milk rings, old food that's left a mark.I'm not surprised it's won awards, it's really good and pretty cheap. Better results than a paid valeter (who couldn't be bothered to even try)!I used it exclusively on the stained areas and it worked a treat. When dry, the whole seat was a uniform colour!The scent is mild, fresh and not at all overpowering which is what I was worried about as I abhor cheap, nasty, artificial scents, especially in vehicle cleaning products. I missed the vac after step, and all was fine anyway!The only thing is the plastic brush tends to break a bit leaving little bits of plastic during and after application, easily removed though. Fingers crossed the whole packaging can be recycled when empty!

Used this on my car seats. It cleaned them up a bit but ultimately didn't remove any stains so can't recommend

Works well on upholstery - the brush part helps to remove stubborn stains on arms of sofas & arm chairs or dining chair cushions too 👍🏻

Very pleased with purchase

Very nice and it tacked so many stains and a lot of people who’s car I have cleans do like the smell of it

This is a really useful product it dries quickly and and removes stains easily
