As far as fabric goes, I know scotchguard does the trick.  I was reminded of
a story that involved a car that I later purchased.  It seems that the
owner's daughter recieved a rather nasty cut on the arm (lots of blood that
ended up on the seat).  Well after the trip to the emergency room, a wait
there, and the trip home.  He removed *all* of the blood stain with cold
water and a wet/dry shop vac.  When I say all, I mean all, there is not even
a light ring around where the stain was.  The seats are light blue velour
and still look great on a 76 Olds.  The only form of protection was a good
application of SCOTCHGUARD on brand new seats.

This was enough to convince me to do this myself on a new car. Cost wise,
2-3 cans of spray run about 10-15 dollars. Not too bad for what you get.
