Try Vaxing, failing that might be easier to replace the seats

Gallon of petrol + box of matches = cheap & quick removal of all evidence of prior use! ;) ;D :y

Leather or fabric, mate?

Some brilliant stuff made by 1001 for carpets, brings fabric up well, or leather, try leatherfeed/clean by meguiars.

People are always upgrading to leather interiors, so I'm guessing you could probably pick up some cloth seats quite cheap. Then a bit of carpet cleaner and a wet&dry vac, I guess.

Remove boot carpet and cover it in traffic film remover (diluted 1 part TFR to 4 parts water)....leave for 5 mins and blast with a pressure washer.

I have done similar on seats to if they are really bad.

For carpets (if really bad) again, spray with traffic film remover and then vax them.
