    A lot of shops are offering leather seat covers for P1,800.00.

    I know these are not real leather and there are a lot of high end leather seat covers out there.

    pero for one who's on a tight budget OK ba ito?

    feedbacks please...

    thnx

    So far ok naman yun sa SIR ko but im preparing to have my seat upholstered with genuine leathers like with my Pajero.


    Dont expect the leatherette seat covers to last tho.

    There are nice leatherette seat covers but cheap ones are really terrible.

    Bought leatherette for my Opel Astra before for about 3000 pesos and they feel very hot & sticky after awhile.

    I think good cloth upholstery is still best but of course, genuine leather is also very comfortable.

    Ako I'd still choose leatherete covers over cloth ones because mas madali itong linisin. Punas lang ayos na. I don't have any probs naman with the heat....hehe siguro malakas lang aircon ko (yabang). As for the covers being sticky, kailangan lang ay may proper maintenance. Better buy leatherete cleaners at your suking car shops.

    ...but of course leather is still the best...kasi wala ako pera eh..

    ..cheap ako..hehe

    pareho kami ni kuya djerms. i use leatheretts too. for someone who's tired of changing cloth seat covers every month dahil kumakain sa loob ng oto ang anak ko, i find it very convenient dahil ang daling linisin.

    regarding sa issue na mainit, i think, even leather seat covers too are hot, kung ibibilad mo ito ng direkta sa araw. for my case, after around 10 minutes of driving after parking under the sun, with windows open and aircon on 3/4 mode, malamig na sya..

    I used just leatherette on my car for three years now. Durability is fine as long as you take care of it, by constantly spraying Leather cleaner i.e. Armorall or other leather spray.

    bardigones. hulul! hehehe. bakit mo naman ako naging idol ha?

    sa tru value 2,200 yung may piping, may zipper sa likod.

    tama sila, alaga lang kailangan nyan. ako, i wipe it with a damp cloth every week, tapos armor all once a month, sabay hagod ng dry cloth para hindi malagkit.

    hg, sige tingin uli ako sa true-value. pero pwede dwa nila ibigay sa P2,300 yung price ng P2,800.00 eh, may libre na pockets pa daw sa likod.

    *czintrclr, tignan ko kung balik pa ko doon, tignan ko muna sa truevalue.

    sa mga gumagamit ng armorall, how do u maintain the gloss?
    kc pag bagong apply armorall parang wet look. kaso mga 1 day lang ala na yng gloss.

    para kasi mas preferred ko yung wet look sa seat covers

    meron dito sa south na nag re-reupholster ng seats. Ganda ng gawa - mga 2-3 cars na nagawa nya from protegetech - 4.5k lang yung leatherette tapos may maganda syang leatherette na malambot - looks and feels like real leather w/o the smell. Nasa 6k.

    any idea on the price of leather upholstery from kelseat for an EK?

    I tried their online quote twice and never got a response. i guess nobody checks online inquiries.
