BMW seat covers doing more damage than protecting

NYCMCBM3 · 10-10-2010, 12:48 AM

i bought a set of front seat covers from a dealer off of ebay, but lately ive noticed its been staining my brand new fox read leather black , what can i do to clean it off ? or do u think BMW will cover under warranty if it cant be cleaned?

You don't need seat covers. Just wipe your ass before getting in the car.

NYCMCBM3 · 10-10-2010, 10:37 AM

Get Leatherique and wipe off the sweat/grime.

I know what he means. I have some jeans that were not inexpensive and leave my FR seat looking a little blue. However, it is nothing that leather cleaner and some elbow grease cannot fix. After the jeans are washed a bit, they stop staining the seat.

First, get rid of the covers, second, buy what I'm linking to below and use it. Third, you can thank me later.

Use Lexol leather cleaner.

NYCMCBM3 · 10-10-2010, 07:54 PM

some many cleaners to chose from , now i dont know which to pick

Leatherique seems to be at the top of the list based on the before and after pick i found in another thread about it

shamoo · 10-10-2010, 08:26 PM

I've seen someone with those covers in person, and they actually look pretty cool. I wouldn't use them all the time, but maybe after going cycling and I'm all sweaty haha. Looks like it comes from the dealer where I got my car (Prestige BMW).

NYCMCBM3 · 10-10-2010, 08:53 PM

yea i like em too cuz it prevents the seat from having all those fold marks, ive had mine for like 3 months now and every time i life it up , my seats look like no one ever sat in them

I used Zymol for years, but only recently switched to Leatherique and it's by far the best product I have used.

Just clean and condition the seats more often, imho seat covers are ghey, gotta show off that beautiful leather !

They may prevent fold marks, but they are staining the seats.

I ordered leather so I could sit on it. I don't want to drive my grandmother's living room sofa.

+1, might as well add those adhesive bumper strips on your bumper or put one of those steering wheel rim covers on with the "extra ribbed for her pleasure" grips.

Some of you guys are insane with these cars, clear bras, seat covers, special washes - it's just a car, enjoy it.

Get yourself some Leatherique or leather masters and/or a new GF...

If the GF becomes available I'm putting in an option.
