Tips on protecting the seat

(i) Protecting the seats 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 does slobber leave white-bordered saliva stains, hair clings to everything and is a nightmare to remove while their sharp little talons can rip, tear and gouge the upholstery, especially leather. However, to avoid the hassle, the vehicle seats could have been protected with right quality of Coverking seat covers before the hazards could occur.

(ii) Protecting the seats from moisture
If you are a resident of the misty Pacific Northwest or similar wet zones in the US, moisture sure would create a hell of a lot of problems for your car upholstery. Apart from that, 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 more prone to damage from moisture. When water seeps into factory-installed seat covers, it turns the covers into ugly, stinky, disgusting mold.

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 dry even during precipitation.

(iii) Protecting the seats from UV radiation
Coverking has the right answer for this too. 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. If you want overall protection from UV radiation, go for Coverking UV protecting car cover and then go to sleep worry-free.

(iv). Protecting the seats from friction
Yes, friction, a silent killer, can cause unthinkable damage to your seats, keeping you totally unaware of the problem. Every time when you open the door and go out of the car or board the vehicle, the seat covers suffer some amount of damage. Like sandpaper on a jagged block of wood, the texture of your clothing grates against the texture of the upholstery (leather and cloth alike). This relentless friction between the bodily attires and the seat steadily grinds away at the upholstery. As time passes, the strength of the leather or fabric gives way, till it becomes 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 they were allowed to ruin.

Tips on restoring or saving seats

Despite all preventing measures, seat covers do get damaged due to age or on account of reasons beyond control. Even an innocuous leaky marker inadvertently left on the rear seat will leave its tell tale mark on the seat for heaven knows how many days or months. The loving pet struggling to get in or out of the car also 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 you may try to do that. However, situations like these are well taken care of by Coverking. Following the Research Guide you can refurbish 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 different fitting seat covers, the Custom Fit, Semi-custom Fit and Universal Fit that one can choose from.

Custom Fit seat covers are the best. Just as a well-tailored suit is accurately measured, cut and stitched to fit the unique shapes and contours of the wearer, so too is a Coverking 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 Covers are the economical 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. They are not recommended because they either end up being too tight or too lose.

Universal Seat Covers are never a good solution and so it is best to avoid them. These are the covers that you will normally come across at the automobile stores and at the shopping malls.
