How to Protect Your Vehicles Leather Seats Against Damage

For car owners, leather seats often add a more sophisticated look and feel to your vehicle. Unfortunately, if you do not properly care for your leather seats, they can end up faded and cracked as result of high temperatures, sun damage, and wear. Especially with a high amount of sun exposure, you can begin to see fading in as little as 4 months. As for heat exposure, interior air temperatures have been recorded at well above 145°F. To keep your vehicles leather seats in perfect condition, Tint Specialists located in Murray, Utah would like to offer some maintenance tips that are proven to work.

As a cheap “fix” to sun damage, many sites will recommend parking your vehicle in the shade when you can. Although this is a good tip, it is not guaranteed protection. When it comes to limiting the damage in regards to your leather seats, Tint Specialists recommend first vacuuming your leather car seats to remove loose dirt and debris, then cleaning them with a damp towel. Once your seats are clean, you should use a high quality leather conditioner to condition your seats. You should repeat this cleansing and conditioning process once every three or so months.

Apart from cleansing and conditioning your vehicles leather seats, Tint Specialists highly recommend window tinting as a permanent solution to sun and heat exposure. Window film is known to limit the amount of radiation entering a window and lower interior temperatures. Also, as the suns UV rays are a main source of fading, films help protect your vehicle interior, including leather seats, from fading.
