Default How do I remove imprint stains from seats

Can anyone recommend the best stain remover for car seats? Here's my situation: I had a cooler/heater refigerator in the backseat of my car for 6 months and only used it once. It works by plugging it into the cigarette lighter. I finally gave it to someone since i really never used it. I noticed some imprint stains on the back seats from the base feet of the refrigerator. Someone told me the stainds will go away by itself as long as the sun hits it. I've been driving around w/ these stains for 3 months now and it's still there. My car has 5% tints so i know that won't do the job. Any recommendations/solutions?

you could park it in your yard, and roll down the windows, you could also try steam cleaning the seat, or since it is in the back seat you could take the bottom of the back seat out and set that outside at your house, it'll do more then get those out

if you mean depressions from the feet on the cooler, believe it or not I have taken depressions out of carpet by placing an ice cube on the area, it some how (here come the scientists) lifts the depression, it's only water so I doubt you can do any harm even if it doesnt lift the depressions. Good Luck !

First thing my wife said when I read the problem, hold an ice cube on the spot where the imprint is and some how the foam will return to position, damp up exess water and let dry.
