OK guys i've just picked up my first BMW, a black 330Ci with black 1/2 leather interior.

Its a very nice car, but there is some light staining on the velour/cloth section of the seats, prob from coffee. So whats the best product to wash or clean my seats and would i rub the stuff u recommend into the fabric with something like the OXO car wash brush??

Also on a side, i've seen a alloy wheel/rim brush on ebay that fits onto a drill, and it looks like a good way of making light work of my multispoke 18in alloys. Anyone with any experience with drill brushes?

You can spray on some woolite and water 10:1 ratio on the spot and either suck it up with an extractor or a wet/dry shop vac.

I know that the Mother's powerballs work really well with a drill but I haven't heard of a brush to clean the wheels.

We don't have woolite in the UK, googled it and a fabric cleaner of sorts pops up. "Woolite Fabric Wash" is that the stuff? If it is i'll search out a UK equivalent. Thanks.

Yes, Woolite is a fabric wash for delicates, but you can also use it in detailing. :) I use it to clean interior vinyl as well as carpets and upholstery. If you have a steam vac or equivalent type of machine you can use that as well with their carpet/upholstery shampoo.
