Question What can you put on the seats to protect them?

Scotchgurad says not to use it on leather.

Cool

The grey suede looking material is cloth. Only the dark inserts are leather. I'm gonna scotchguard mine first chance I get. The parts dept. carries stuff for leather. BTW, I see you got the FAST color.

I use wet okole neoprene seat covers to protect mine. I used to worry about getting my seats dirty. Yesterday, a coke spilled out on the seat. No problem, I just quickly soaked it up with some McDonald napkins. Life was good, no problems.

Hope this helps. The covers rock.

I don't know about long term effects of the seat covers on L seats. I got mine for Christmas, so only about 4 months on them. No problems so far.

If I run into any problems, I'll be sure to post any warnings.

I was pretty sure that the light gray portions were suede and that the black inserts are actually synthetic. In any case, I used Kiwi suede cleaner/protector and it seems to work great. I spilled a bunch of water on my seat, and it kind of beaded up until I could grab something to soak it up. There is no trace of where I spilled the water.

The seats are fake suade. I sprayed on 2 cans of 3M Scotchguard when mine was new and I've spilled LOTS of stuff (coffee, burger juice, I'm a bit piggy) on them and it has come right off. The carpet has been a little harder to claen.
