scotch guarding???

ok guys, i have my interior torn out because im dynamatting the entire interior. i was thinking the other night what all i could do while the interior was torn out. i remembered hearing something about scotch guarding the interior including the carpet. well if its worth it i would like to go ahead and do it. i am somewhat hesitant about doing it though. im worried that it will screw up my interior. what scotch guard should i be using?

scotchguarding is a GREAT idea... just get either the normal one or the automotive breed-- either way it will work for you. Dont be afraid when you spray it-- the smell will go away.

It's rather easy and foolproof, so I say go for it.

DO IT! That way we don't have to hear you complain about how to clean your seats later! I used the automotive grade, I believe, in the red can. I sprayed 2 coats on my 05. Absolutely no stains for the next year that I owned it.

It does smell like *** for a few days though.

I Scotch Guarded my seats, and it did nothing. That's why I have seat covers on order, especially since the cloth seats look like new right now after getting them professionally cleaned.

Glad to hear that the professional route worked, that's my plan for after the summer.

I did 2 light/medium coats on the back seat and 3 medium coats on the front seats and console.

Exactly. I've never really seen anyone have results with the consumer stuff other than on here in this thread.
