All of the pre-owned vehicles available at Mercedes-Benz Brampton of Brampton are cleaned thoroughly before our customers ever see them. Of course, vehicles brought in for trade-in come to us in various levels of cleanliness, including issues like lingering cigarette smell or unwanted stickers.

Fortunately, it’s not as hard as you might think. We break down the basics below so you can keep the seats in your vehicle looking like new as you drive around Caledon.

It’s important to vacuum first, as you don’t want to further stain, scuff, or scratch up the seat with debris while rubbing or brushing the cleaner into it. Wipe up spills as soon as they happen to prevent stains.

This means you’ll need to go light on the cleaner that you use, and always spray it on the cloth or brush — not the seat itself.
