Have Anyone Taken the Skin Off?

How much effort does it take to remove the skin off of the seats?

I want to throw them into a washing machine. My car is a Katrina
car, so who knows what kind of sesspool the seats have been in.

hmm sounds like a lot of work, it'll be harder to get them back on then take them off...

How much time do you reckon it would take? I'm going to pull the passenger seat out this weekend, and have a look. If it's not too much hassle, I'm going to pull the skin off.

If its buckets, you should be able to get both seats off in under an hour, but its going to take 2 to 3 times as long to get them back on and the cushions fitted inside the covering. A real PITA job, cloth seats are a little easier then leather. Find a good detail shop that has an extracting machine and have them cleaned

What is an extracting machine?

Thanks!
