Well I don't have much experince with cloth however, that being said I have used the "blue coral" dry cleaning on the carpets before.

Also, Megs APC+ is designed for interior use. RockPick will need to chime in a tell you the right dilution.

I use the Meg.s Quik-Out. (In fact, I just cleaned my interior Sunday Night...)
I absolutely LOVE it...You may want to give it a try...

I have heard great things about quik out as well...and even though i will do my carpet as well...(i do have extreme catch all floor liners so my carpet is in great shape....i was mainly concerned with my cloth upholstery..should have mentioned that earlier...but like i said..full interior..i just wouldnt want to use quik out on my upholstery given it states on the bottle that it is a carpet spot remover...no reason to go taking big chances like that...would woolite help in this??? Any word on BioKleen???

I did the entire truck's interior Sunday night... GREAT results (although you will want to follow up with Febreeze afterwards... kinda chemio-aromatic...)

HOWEVER:
I just noticed you have an 06...If my memory serves me, those are the seats with all the color problems. I have an 03, so I am still in the "good times" where I can not jack up my seats by cleaning them...Test everything on an inconspicuous spot first.
