Re: Protecting seats?

I can't tell, but the center is fabric right? Thats the tough spot, since it can rip/stain easier and you can't just wipe it off. You might want to seriously consider using "Ultra Protector", which is designed for shoes....unless you can find a comparable product in the auto-specific segment.

The reason I mention that stuff, is that I have a decent collection of rare/collectible shoes, and preserving the condition of them is paramount to retaining value. The Ultra Protector is ok for Vinyl/Leather/Suede/Fabric, and its an aerosol so coverage is pretty easy. Its like $7 a can, and you could probably give the seats (or even just the cloth portion) a couple of coats with a single can. You can get the stuff from FootLocker.

The other option, is to get a couple of Mexi-Blankets or the good ol' granny-style seat plastic.
Yeah, the centre is fabric. I never thought of using a shoe protector. That's a good idea. I was thinking Scotchguard, I'll have to compare the two products. Thanks.

That's what I was thinking. I also carry an old sheet under my seat. Thanks
