My drivers side seatbelt has accumulated some ingrained muck that is leaving a mark across all my shirts when Ive been driving for more than a few minutes!

Ive tried a couple of upholstery cleaners from Halfords to try and improve things but to no avail.

Does anybody know of something that will do the trick?

Trade factors will sell concentrated automotive upholstery cleaners in 5l containers - it not too expensive (less than £10 last time I bought some).

The last lot I had was made by 'NMC' (National Motor Chemicals??), made in Wolverhampton. Its good stuff and my wife uses it in the house too.
I think Machine Mart also see this stuff under their 'Clarke' brand - but it will likely cost more.

If it\'s a greasy layer of dirt, try a weak solution made up with soda crystals. (Just try it on a small, hidden area first).

Try and borrow a steam cleaner which lifts the dirt but does not leave detergent behind to attract more dirt. The downside is it probably takes a day for the seat to fully dry out.

Try Auto Glym Tar Remoever. You can get a small bottle, along with car shampoo, polish, interior dash cleaner, glass polish and bumper care. If this doesn't work, the steam cleaner's your next option.
