To be properly empathetic, imagine that you are a first year University student or a struggling single mother. Used is what you are on the market for; there are no other options open to you. One day, you browse the classifieds, and somebody has a respectable deal on an older car, so you go to check it out. Take a moment to imagine just how eager you would be to move forward if the outside of the car was unwashed and the inside was dirty. You would probably be hesitant right? Most of us would.

Car Mats Options: Vinyl vs Carpet Materials

- by Gavin Diaz

You just bought a new car! The emphasis is on “new”. It’s a luxury car. Everything about it is great! It has that new car smell, all of the shiny stuff is shiny, all of the storage compartments are clean, and even the floors are pristine. Although it is way past the first of the year, you are making a new resolution right now. This time you’re going to keep it clean! With no exception to the rule, your car will be 100% clean at all times. But how?

Sure, you are willing to frequent the car wash at least once per week. (Uh, maybe you had better make that every two weeks…) Anyway, you can wax the exterior as often, and maintain that new car smell with air fresheners, but you might have to be a bit more creative to keep that interior presentable.

How about your seats and floors? Since you’re not the only rider in the car, this is probably of primary concern.

That’s why if you are looking for new seat covers, you should really consider the fabric itself. Picking the right one can give you comfort on that road trip or when riding way across town. Here are some things to consider when picking your next seat cover and what fabric to consider.

 

What’s Neoprene

You will find that it is very snug on your seat and doesn’t have the tendency to fade in direct sunlight. It is UV resistant and a popular choice for drivers. Neoprene is specifically for car usage. It is waterproof and fights strong against water getting on to the material. You won’t have to worry about spilling your drink and the liquid soaking to your actual seat with Neoprene fabric. There are many neoprene seat covers you can buy in your local area.
