Cloth Sucks

Is there anything that you guys know of that will keep the cloth in my 04 scab clean? I have tried cleaning it and scotch gaurding it, but a week or so later they are back to being hard to take care of.... I dont know if I should keep fighting this problem or get leather seat covers.

I cleaned and Scotchguarded my seats last summer and I'm still stain free. Did you use the correct type? The red can is for automotive upholstery.

I guess I got lucky. My dealer threw in a free undercoating and interior protection package when I bought my truck. I don't know if they used scotch guard or something else on my cloth seats, but now almost 3 years later, they still look like new.

Plain water stained the cloth seats in my F150

I got Wet Okole seatcovers and they ROCK. My wife spilled a can of diet coke on the seat. The coke sat in a puddle until I got home. I wiped it up and the seat was still dry. Get em.

Check out Katzkin.com this is some of the finest after market leather seats out there. These seats are 100% leather actually better than the factory leather that is really only leather trimmed. Heck the backseat of the lariat SCAB and the 60/40 split on the SCREW contain no leather at all. I am an installer of these interiors in Lake Charles Louisiana If you have any other questions just shoot me an email. at pipes0132000@yahoo.com

Folex

Go to Home Depot or Lowe's. They sell a product called FOLEX. It works great on the cloth. I hate the cloth but I have four dogs and they would tear the leather apart. However, their drool does spot the seats. The FOLEX takes it right out.
