How to Clean the Seats of a Smart

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Seat

The upholstery covering the seats tends to get dirty and stained, so it's advisable to perform a professional wash using the right detergents and proper application and removal techniques to avoid damaging the fabric. Start by blowing out any dirt from the seat using compressed air. Then, apply the detergent and brush using a soft bristle to evenly remove stains. At this point, use a liquid vacuum to extract the dirt and dry the upholstery, repeating the process if necessary. Finally, allow for complete drying by parking the vehicle in a sunny and ventilated area.
