Help Save My Seats!

[iamproph]

I will probably get some flaming here but bear with me, I am just looking for help! So I took a roadtrip this past weekend from NC down to Auburn to watch the game, brought my car back and left all my trash inside. Went to clean it out about an hour ago and I grabbed my dip bottle sitting on the passenger seat not realizing it wasnt completely closed. Well you know how it goes, spilled all over my alcantara. Before its completely dry, and I already tried blotting as much as I could with a towel, how can i fix them! Shampoo or anything, please help I love my car!

Not sure what to tell you about the seats, but may I recommend you quit dipping. I had a very close friend die of throat cancer a few years back due to that crap. Good luck with the seat in the mean time brother.

Dunno if you drive a B6 or a B7 but I've got a B6 S4 and I actually bought the B7 center console just for a place for my dip bottles. With the shitty B6 cupholder I had to find the perfect bottle (a 20 oz aquafina bottle, but it could only be partially full and had to have at least a little liquid in it otherwise it would just topple over.). It held really well though and I must say it was fairly comical watching how nervous my friends got as the bottle moved around a bit. But that's just for future reference...

Back on topic though... I have no idea. Sorry! Just thought I'd throw in my $.02 about the cupholder thing. It makes a WORLD of difference.

[whartung]

chew and dip are very different but equally nasty...

classy

dipping/chewing + S4 = odd combination.

I understand it is a bad habit, but I asked for help and not criticism, sorry. Any more info on this magic eraser? I want them to look like new again :(

1. go to any store and buy the above pictured item for $1.99
2. get it wet then squeeze it out so its not dripping or soaking wet
3. lightly rub the alcantara until the stain disappears
4. (optional) if you need to scrub really hard you could create "pills" of alcantara on your seats... if that happens then you need to "shave" the "pills" with a sweater pill shaver as shown below







also, i'm sure you dont want to hear this, but i know someone who was able to quit dipping by going to a health food store and picking up a tin of mint flavored tea leaves and dipping on that through out the day to break the physical addiction habit.

good luck with the seats

chewing tobacco is gross.

I think the real question is, "what can I do to save my jaw." the answer is, stop dipping. Its obviously bad for you. Unless this guy is your role model:

Hi... can someone help me? I was shooting heroin in my car and my used syringe wasn't completely empty and I got blood and smack on my Alcantara... does anyone know how to clean that?

[oatzel]

never would have thought of using a magic eraser.

so far i've only needed to use a damp cloth on my seats
