Restore upholstery?

Does anyone have pics of their restored upholstery? I did an MK1 Mr2 and replace the cloth upholstery with genuine leather upholstery.. Unfortunately I sold the car. The dumb mistakes in life.

My "restoration" was CLEANING. Since I do carpet and upholstery cleaning, I had the technique and equipment. Those cloth seats can hold a LOT of dirt! They last a lot longer when all that grit isnt there to shred the fibers.

I've not had many issues with dirt when using Stoner's carpet cleaner, but I've yet to find something that removes water stains with any great effectiveness. The fabric in base model Corollas seems to be even tougher to clean. One thing that I knew does breath good life back into the vinyl parts is Armor All. I was thinking of reupholstering or replacing the seats in mine because the weave in the cloth was starting to tea ron the driver's seat but I ultimately just traded it.
