SEAT COVERS

sorry anton had to be said

But seriously we just put seat covers on ours, but you probably want them to be seen so why don't you get some clear seat covers, but they are as uncomfortable as all hell IMO

Just my 2c

There's excellent vinyl cleaner/protector in the larger Woolworths or Coles supermarkets not too expensive either. Works a treat :wink:

just make sure it is not silicon based - that stuff is bad news, it gets slimy and evaporates off to your windows, then you can't clean them

Stay away from Armorall (sp) leaves a white residue on your vinyl.

I am undecided as to what i am going to use on mine, but i am thinking
of going with Auto Glym's Vinyl care range. With the reputatuion they have
i am sure it would have to be good!!

My main issue is i dont want a greasy build up over time like you get with
cheap brands and armourall

Get some seat covers made up that look just like the seats, and remove them for car shows. :D
