Default 06 seat stains?

I know I am a 3rd gen ram guy, but I was hoping someone here could help me out. I have looked all over the forums for a fix to this problem, and I can't find nothing. Is there anything out there that can clean the seats without making it worse? I have tried about 4 or 5 different products, and nothing helps. I don't want to get seat covers, I think they are way over priced. Please someone tell me something that works!!!!!!!!!!!!

I managed to get a stain out of mine using blue coral stain remover and some scrubbing. I believe Night Runner has suggested a combination of blue coral and something else a few times (might have been shout, I can't remember for sure).

UPDATE
Found it:

ORIGINAL: Night_Runner

man, go to autozone and get some "Blue Coral Upholstery Cleaner Plus" and get some "Shout"....spray quite a bit of shout and than the blue coral (which is a foam) and scrub....if its a tougher stain, get the shout gel...ive gotten every stain out with this combo

Does this leave a water mark? Everything I have tried got the stain out, but it leaves a water mark.

Not sure what you mean by a water mark but the blue coral left no marks for me. Had to use it to remove some chocolate one of my friends dropped on the seat, new rule is I'm the only one who can eat in the truck now.

The mark that I am talking about is when you spray your cleaner on, it leaves a ring around the spot of your cleaner. I have heard alot of people talk about having to clean the whole seat, not just the stain part. That just seems like alot of trouble for a spot the size of your finger.

Yeah, my 06 is horrible, even water stains the seats. I would say do the whole seat then it will match, lol. I also read on here that the seat covers themselves actually come off with just a few clips and you can wash them...

Rain would stain my seats. If it was raining and I was getting in my truck the edge of the seat would get wet and leave spots. I bought a set of neoprene seat covers. You can throw them in the washer to clean them. Good investment.
