Would it cost more if I get colored leatherette, like say red?

Turtle wax and other "leather enhancers"... i think those are suppose to be for pure leather enhancers which does not do the trick either.

Just wipe it regularly... control the dampness of the cloth so that it won't affect the adhesive.

Did any one here tried installing the leatherette seat cover made by SureSeats sa alabang motorshops? Feedback, how was it? did it last long? was the quality good? thanks

Hi Sneaky.
Waxes don't enhance the state of your leather seats. It actually makes it crack faster because the so called enhancers do the following to your leather:
1. it clogs the pores, which is a primary attribute of leather materials.
2. makes it a bit shiny and slippery and it does not feel nice when you are driving. It has a squeaky feeling.
3. Since it clogs the pores, your leather now is almost vinyl and you can feel your leather seats getting warmer after extended exposure under the sun compared to an untreated leather.

The best way is still to clean regularly and to ensure that the natural properties are preserved. Leather is more than aesthetics, it gives great comfort. Putting chemicals on it, such as conditioners, would not help.

*CPY61: I've read some good reviews about Sureseats. Side panels ko pa lang ang naipagawa ko doon sa may Alabang. May 1 month na siguro, and so far OK na OK pa naman (leather). Sa 3 visits ko doon sa shop nila, may 2 na akong nakitang nagpalagay ng seatcover sa kanila. Very nice and firm fit.
