Leather Seat Covers

A common model on the roads; there’s no eye-catching exterior; it’s just another vehicle in the parking lot or on the free way. But wait a minute! Look at its seats. They look superb! Does this model come with leather upholstery?

Your car can attract such statements without your having to spend a fortune on expensive leather upholstery. You may ask how. The answer is by covering your seats with simple, plush leather seat covers. Most people associate leather upholstery and leather seat covers with style and elegance. Any ordinary vehicle can turn heads with well-chosen leather seat covers.

Leather seat covers are usually custom made for the exact year, make, and model of an automobile and come in different colors and patterns. Most manufacturers of seat covers use leather for their products rather than vinyl or cloth or other cheap fabrics, like polyester and nylon. Leather requires an extra amount of care to keep it intact and looking good. Leather seat covers are not like any other. Opting for leather seat covers will cost you a great deal. Leather not properly maintained will suffer irreversible damage including fading, cracks, and brittle surfaces.

Caring for your leather seat covers include cutting off or wiping off abrasives that damage the fibers and cleaning the dirt and dust that block free air flow in the porous fibers. Wiping the covers with gentle solvents, like Pinnacle Leather and Vinyl Cleaner, is the first step towards leather care. Ultraviolet and infrared rays of the sun are as damaging to leather covers as they are to human skin, and your seat covers need constant protection from the sun’s rays to avoid fading. A conditioner that prevents staining is generally used to keep the covers UV protected and to prevent the fibers from getting brittle. It is important to choose a conditioner that the leather will absorb and that will revitalize the fiber pores, supplementing the oil and fluids that have evaporated from the surface.
