Why leather cover is popular!
Covers that are made of leather materials, even synthetic leather, can give a different look to the car. One of the reasons for this beauty is the possibility of beautiful stitches on them. The embroideries that are done on these covers will make the simplest cars feel luxurious and expensive.
Of course, the material of leather covers is diverse.
Natural leather: Although this type of leather has a very high price and special quality. But being natural does not mean a longer life.
Industrial leather: This type of leather has a much lower price than natural leather. In addition, its life is longer than normal.
Nylon leather: Unfortunately, in some cases, nylon leathers that have a very short lifespan are offered to buyers. These leathers give chemical reactions with the light and heat of the sun. Therefore, the worst choice of car seat cover is the same material.
Of course, if you are a fan of sports cars, we recommend you hybrid covers and full leather. Of course, maintaining these coatings is not that difficult.

The fastest way to clean any leather upholstery such as car seats and steering wheel leather is just 3 steps. These 3 steps are due to: Polish all surfaces of the seat. Polish the spots several times. Apply wax or polishing oils on the surface. Use a cotton napkin or soft cloth on the surface to absorb excess oil.
