Above is the exact same color my seats are. I have the leather with heated seats. Where its not leather it appears to be a fake suede like material. Will I be able to get coke out of the fabric part? It's appears to be lite stains. Anything I can use that will clean it right out?
 
Do not use leather cleaner on this part of the seats. It ia a fabric made to look like suede and will need a fabric cleaning method to remove. Do not use anything that over wets the fabric as there is a chance of delamination.



Hope this helps

Hey there, just a quick update. I used a microfiber cloth and getly rubbed it with a sensitive suede cleaner. It worked very well. The fabric has no fuzzies lingering. Looks brand new again. I was shocked.
 
Good job! It looks like your method worked. I have a steamer and probably would have used it to remove the stains.

Why would it delaminate?
 
Most faux suede is a two-layer fabric with a synthetic micro-fibre surface. The use of too much moisture, too high heat or the use of solvents will cause delamination of the 2 layers.

Not only that, but if you're not careful and you use to much water or any kind of solution it can create tiny rolled up fabric clumps and thats just fugly

Are you sure? I haven't messed with this much, so I haven't had much interest in researching it. I am not doubting you, but I will ask around to get some more info for myself.
 
Our specialism is leather but we work closely with many of the UK's and USA's foremost instructors on carpet and upholstery cleaning and this is where this info came from.
