Interior vehicle seats are available in an array of materials, each material requiring a different type of care. Further to thoroughly cleaning the seats, this task is completed to extend the appearance and life of leather, vinyl, and fabric seats by creating protective barriers and conditioning the materials.

There are two main categories of seat materials; (1) leather and vinyl seats, and (2) fabric seats. Different methods are used to condition and protect each seat material category.

For leather and vinyl seats, a leather conditioner is used; SOFT TOUCH. As a deep penetrating lotion, SOFT TOUCH moisturizes, protects, and preserves smooth leather and vinyl. SOFT TOUCH is simple to apply, imparts a fresh leather fragrance to all areas conditioned, and buffs to a lustrous sheen bringing out the distinctiveness of leather.

Leather conditioning is best used as a preventative, routine solution to eliminate and avoid permanent brittleness to leather surfaces. The frequency of conditioning leather is dependent on how often the leather is used; however, it is recommended to condition leather every 6 months.

For fabric seats, a fabric protector is used; FABRIC SHIELD. FABRIC SHIELD is a quick-drying protectant designed for use on both natural and synthetic fabrics. FABRIC SHIELD does not block fabric breathability or destroy the fabric feel; providing a superior repellency and stain resistance while leaving no residual odour.

The time to condition and protect the seats is dependent on the amount of upholstery within the vehicle, and the type of upholstery (protectant application technique). Once this task is complete the seats will be conditioned and protected for future use. 

Safety supplies include goggles, an apron, and impervious gloves. View the products used tab for Auto Valet products and accessories relating to this detailing task.
