one is the cleaner, the other a stain/water proofer. Looks like its worth a try, if it works in the outdoors then it should be killer of our trucks

the price they show is wrong as well...they are on sale once you put them in your cart. I orderd both the cleaner and the spray just a min ago..it was 20 bux for both combined , plus 6 bux shipping

I could have used that weeks ago - the 3yr old decided to wipe some boogies on the seat ...man was I pissed.

Need to try something like that. Especially carting around the little one who ALWAYS seems to need some snack or drink wherever we go

My seats have only gotten something on it once, and I used the blue coral to take it off...which worked fine..but the cleaner is only 5 bux and if you read about it, it sounds much more gental then using a towel and the blue coral. The protectant is the main thing though, that will let you wipe stains off without much work.

I always thought suede was a leather, yet our truck's manuals say that our seats are a leather/cloth combination of some sort...got me..Im sure it will work fine either way

Yea haha, the black **** that feels like plastic is leather. the grey "suede" is cloth. F'ed up if you ask me. When ppl ask me if its suede I'm just like uhm sure.

I don't think that cleaner stuff has any anti-booger chemicals...
but could be wrong...

One solution is to put your kids in a clear hefty garbage bag
with nose and eye holes slit in it...

The grey material is called alcantara. Here's a link to a PDF file that covers how to clean and take care of it.http://www.alcantara.it/istituzional...ne_inglese.pdf

that link says we can use warm or cold water (depending on what the stain is) to remove anything? errr...I dont know if I buy that or not.

I like our seats for the most part, I love the "plastic" leather stuff and the SVT stiching, I wish the color of the "cloth" or whatever the hell it is was darker though to match the plastic panels better
