Removing stains from vinyl seats

So I was recently driving from California to Arizona with my box full of detailing supplies with me. Unfortunately the cleaner I use on my buffer pads spilled onto my seats. The seats are the vinyl fake leather seats and I cant seem to get it off. Everytime I try cleaning it the stain just comes right back when it dries. Any suggestions or products to get it out?

1z einzsett plastic deep cleaner. Should get it right out if you use a brush to agitate it as well.

What brand are you using? The manufacturer/supplier should be of help there. Their website will have a 'contact us' button somewhere. The brand that I use is all water based and very easy to clean up tho I haven't had a major spill - yet. Have you tried Dawn detergent?

maybe you need to 're-stain'

Back to Black?
