Getting a Euro. Interior Treatment recomendations

[revNhevN]

Hi,
My parents are getting a euro with the ivory interior. Dealer offered some scotch gaurd stuff, but its way too expensive. Is there anything that can be applied to the interior so it does not stain and get dirty easy? any recomendations?

Scotch guard way too expensive? I paid $15 for a can from my local hardware store. Was enough for the whole car. Not sure what this dealer is trying to sell you.

The other thing is - even with scotch guard the ivory cloth interior will get dirty easy.

Don't bother waste of money........just maintain it with leather cleaner and stuff from kmart and you be right

My tip. Get some regular leather cleaner, and don't wear jeans too much :D

Its not luxury, so no leather. Just ivory cloth. The dealer wanted over a 1K for the whole car to be treated, interior and exterior. A few hundread for interior only. I will check my hardware store for the canned stuff.

If it's just cloth I don't think you need to stress over it so much. Just get some quality cloth cleaners from autobarn or something.

Some aftermarket seat covers will do the trick

buy some scotchguard from coles or woollies or something. Same crap, but cost about $5. That's what I use.

$1000 for full interior/exterior treatment isnt too bad. I reckon you could get them down to about $700 though. At this price, I would do it if you don't have tiime to wash and wax your car often.

mate, i have surplus stock of the MING fabric protection/scotch guard that i apply to new cars for a dealership.

I can send you a bottle if u want. PM me.

You can get the paint protection stuff for less than $20. The scotchguard crap costs less than $10. My brother works at a furniture store part time through uni and he says the scotch guard is the biggest waste of money. He says they make just about the same profit off it as they do selling coutches. It is the same shite as you buy in coles.

You can see how dealerships make their money........

i can apply the full MING protection pack to a car in 2 hours. The dealership supplies the stock, it costs them like 100 bux or something and i charge $110.00 to apply it.

thats a cool $800 profit for the dealerships.

Just don't eat or go into the car with dirty cloths and shoes....have my car for like 7 months now...when people go in it...they are always surprised at how new it still smells and is...

h22a accord, thanks for the offer. But i just got a can of scotchguard from wollies.

What do you do when you do when you get in the car on a rainy day? The honda mats don't have a rubber section like other car mats. How do you get it dry again? I'd reckon that it'd smell if it was left wet.

[EuroSip]

don't go out in the wet :D

i have a towel in the glovebox which i can wipe anything that's wet before i step on the mats...

and then afterwards i dry it, the mats and the towel...

[aaronng]

Cool, I'll do that too. Towel sacrificing time!
