Trying to tidy up my neglected shed, upholstery is letting it down. What do you use?

I've tried a Bisset spot cleaner, scrubbing brush with Starcross, scrubbing brush with carpet cleaning solution. They're showing tide marks and a bit blotchy.

Do I just need more elbow grease?

Take your time, less product and more water may help but don't soak the seats. Also how are you drying them afterwards?

Wipe down with a towel, then doors open until dry.

Probably water staining, im not sure what you can do about these tbh if you have already scrubbed etc.
You could try one of those rotary scrubbers that go in a drill.

As said, you need the circular brush attachment for a rotary drill and a spray on foaming cleaner. The surface does need to be evenly wetted to avoid tide marks, but not until absolutely soaking and the Bissel spot cleaner ought to be able to vacuum up the excess. Lots of videos on YT.

Did you clean the whole seat?
