Sources of damage and how to protect:
(a) From Moisture
Moisture, in any form, like damp swimsuits, wet clothing item, etc is harmful to vehicle upholstery, especially leather seat covers since its worst enemy is water. When leather gets wet, it becomes tacky to the touch - a sign that the leather's natural oils are being washed out. Cloth seating is also prone to damage from moisture. When water seeps into factory-installed seat covers, it turns the covers into ugly and stinky mold. Moisture is especially problematic for residents of the drizzly Pacific Northwest and other wet zones.
Coverking seat covers can solve the problem easily if they are slipped on the seats right at the very beginning. Also, Coverking seat covers come in a wide selection of materials with varying degree of water resistance to protect the interior of the vehicle to the fullest degree. In fact, Coverking uses materials that are “breathable’ and so can keep the vehicle absolutely dry even during precipitation.
(b) From kids and pets
Although nothing's quite as adorable as the mesmerized look of a toddler who's discovering the sweet, luscious delights of his or her first birthday cake and smearing chunks of it gleefully on the back seat of your charming car, removing the muck however poses a different story. The same goes true for the furry, four-legged friend. Not only do pets leave saliva stains, hair clings to everything and it becomes a nightmare to remove them. To avoid the hassle, the vehicle seats could have been protected with the right Coverking seat covers before the hazards could occur.
(c) From Friction
Every time when one opens the door and goes out of the car or boards the vehicle, the seat covers suffer some amount of damage. Like sandpaper on a jagged block of wood, the texture of a person’s clothing grates against the texture of the upholstery (leather and cloth alike). This constant friction between the bodily attires and the seat steadily grinds away at the upholstery. As time passes, the strength of the leather or fabric starts to wane, and it will eventually become threadbare, torn and split. Of course, this pitiful fate could have been easily avoided if the seats were originally covered with Coverking seat covers before becoming spoiled.
(d) From UV radiation
UV or Ultra Violet rays are harmful not only to our skin and the eyes, they also cause much harm to automobile upholstery and paint work. Leather is especially susceptible to sun damage because UV radiation dries out the natural oils in the leather. Without these oils keeping things moist, the leather will eventually start to crack. Cloth upholstery is also in danger. Direct sunlight on your fabrics has a bleaching effect. Where once your seats were dark blue or black, an overdose of ultra violet radiation will leave them looking purple or ashen. Since you can't always park in the shade, you can give yourself year-round protection with a snazzy set of Coverking slip on seat covers.
How to restore damaged seats inexpensively:
Most seat covers get damaged, some due to age, some due to reasons beyond control. For example, a leaky marker inadvertently left on the rear seat will no doubt leave tell tale mark on the seat for good. The loving pet struggling to get in or out of the car leaves scratches that can’t be mended at all. Nor the chocolate patches on the back rest left by tiny toddlers can ever be cleaned, no matter how hard one tries to do that.
However, situations like these are well taken care of by Coverking. Following the Research Guide you can easily rejuvenate your vehicle's seats without having to go through the hassle of a complete re-upholstering job. Instead of calling up your dealer and shelling out a hefty sum for new seats, you can simply slide a new set of Coverking seat covers directly over the damaged ones. No muss, no fuss - just great looking seat covers that fit like gloves.
There are 3 kinds of automobile seat covers and they are Custom Covers, Semi-custom Covers and Universal Covers.
Go for Coverking Custom Fit Seat Covers if you prefer only the very best. Just as a well-tailored suit is properly measured, cut and stitched to fit the unique shapes and contours of the wearer, so too is a custom fit seat cover that is meticulously designed for a precise fit over the seats. No part of the vehicle's seat is ignored or overlooked – not the position of the head rest, nor the location of the seat's ergonomic controls or where the seatbelts are mounted. Everything is taken into consideration, and these made-to-measure seat covers will fit like they were factory-installed. Moreover, custom-fit seat covers will not obstruct the seat's side-impact airbags, so one is just as secured as before, only with better looking and better protected upholstery.
Semi-Custom Fit Seat Coversare the inexpensive option to the tailored suit variety. These are stitched together following patterns that will work with your vehicle's seats as well as with similarly sized seats in other cars, trucks and SUVs. However since they are not made with the exact measurements, rarely do these covers offer the perfect fit.
Universal Seat Coversare the ones that you generally come across. These covers are never recommended for your automobile.
