Stupidly managed to get some hot melt glue stick on to the dark fabric of a
Toyota car
seat. Managed to get a good deal of out by rubbing with a cloth soaked in
washing up liguid and really boiling hot water.

Any ideas on how I might tackle the rest the glue stain that's left?
Thanks.

hot iron and blotting paper

but bare in mind the car seat fabric probably has quite a low melting
point too. Test the iron on a hidden area first.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Angle grinder?

Pressure washer.

You could try using acetone which dissolves many glues. It can dissolve
some polymers as well so test it on a hidden part of the upholstery first to
make sure any synthetic fabrics aren't going to be harmed. Acetone is
available as nail polish remover.

Hot melt glue isn't waterproof. I'd cover it with a wet cloth and then
plastic and leave for a while - if this is practical.
