Re: Black lower trim
hes right you should try kick up a bit of a complaint, youve spent £55 on it and its not worked despite stating it should. Thats false advertising.

Re: Black lower trim
i believe that they sprayed a tshirt, or a towell in the video
your seats are fabric, does it specifically say that the product wont work on car upholstery, your seats are defined as fabric. So you should be eligible for a refund because you seem to have been doing everything properly.

Re: Black lower trim
here is the important bit:
Not all upholstery will be suitable for spraying with Upholstery Spray. ,We recommend that you carry out a quick test to see if it is suitable to use on your fabric. As a rule of thumb, if water can absorb into the fabric then Simply Spray will too. If your fabric is coated in some way and water cannot absorb into it, then Simply Spray will not work. You can simply pour some water onto the fabric and see if it absorbs into the fabric or if it runs off. We always recommend that you try Upholstry Spray on a small, out of the way, patch of your furniture just to ensure it is suitable, before you spray the full sofa, chair etc.
