since the guy posted about leather seats, the idea popped in my head..other than vacuuming the seats what else do you guys do to keep them smelling good and looking good..i only have 5k on my car and this is my first car that doesn't have leather seats....what do u need to buy?


thanks in advance!

 

I think you can get all sorts of soap and things like that at your local gas-station. many of them come in spray cans so you just spray over your seats and floor, then vipe it off with a mildly wet rag.

I think this was covered in details in a thread, perhaps in the show and shine. look it up

 

Well for suede: If I were you I would go to a local leather shop and get a suede protectant spray and cleaner.

 

my girl left an unopened soda can in the back seat armrest during the summer. It exploded all over the rear seat. I was so pissed. I couldnt stay mad at her though (look at my avatar)

Anyways, I used some Prestone, I think it was, carpet cleaner on the seats. Soda came right out. I mean the seats were sticky and it was in the alcantra material. The prestone product didnt even damage the seats (I did a spot check first) The can is red and has a built in scrub brush on the top. I used to use it on my 280zx. The stuff was old but always worked like a champ. Unfortunately the can is at my parents house in AZ otherwise I would tell you the name. I know I got it at Checkers Auto Parts.

 

i just vacuum mine. really how else could suede get dirty. just keep it clean. and dont spill anything in it.

 

Ive got 20k miles on my car now and all Ive needed to do was vacuum the seats. Unless something gets really messed up, you should be fine with just a vacuum.

 

i play a lot of sports, so i get in the car sweaty..i usually put a couple big plastic bags on the seat and towel over that...but couple times i didnt have any or just was beaten and bruised so i wanted to get home fast lol ill write down prestone on my owners manual incase i ever need it...thanks guys!

 

Use Lexol to clean and protect your leather. Leaves a leather like smell as well. Works very well and many custom leather shops use it exclusively.

 

are you refering to the seats? because I hear they arent suede
