Post Interior got wet from rain...

I left the prelude out the other night, and like a dumbass, didnt notice that i left the sunroof open. it rained a little bit the next day, and the seats (cloth) were a little wet, didnt rain too much. today they are just a little bit damp (its been humid) and when i got in the car, it smelled nasty. how can i go about cleaning/washing this? shampoo the seats? vaccuum? heater?

Invest in a small portable carpet and upholstery cleaner. They can be had for about $50 and the uses are endless. From house to car, they can clean anything with the right solvent. Plus, you can spend half as much on your own steam cleaner as it would cost to have your interior steam cleaned by a pro.

I left my tops and windows down once during the summer and the rain "faded" my interior. Where it once was grey it's now kinda white. Did yours do that?

Like said above first clean the car and invest in a vacuum it will save you tons of dough and keep your car cleaner... if your not too lazy.

I'd first shampoo it all through-out then do slight detailing (Simonize the interior and get rid of waterspots and ish). Then after that see if it is clean enough and then Febreeze it. That should get it better then original.

Enjoy
