Default Shampooing seats?

Any good howtos on this or products to use? Im noticing some discoloration on the seats (probably cuz I dont do a good job of putting a towel down after the gym)

Thanks guys!

What?

Go to the store and grab some Resolve carpet cleaner. Follow the directions on the can and you should be set.

Steam clean to get rid of water spots etc... Only thing I have found to work on this type of fabric.

yeah the douches that cleaned my seats didn't get all the soap up and two days later my seats looked the same 60 bucks down the drain.

some bissel machines now have a car attachment i am going to give a try in a week or so when I have the time and what not.

I used some 'Spot Shot' which is like Resolve I guess. Anyways it seemed to work however there is a diff in color (dark tint / lighter shade) from where I sprayed it last night. Will this go away or should I spray more to get 100% of the seat so it doesnt have a diff shade on one spot to another?
