Notes When Upholstering Car Leather Seats

Depending on the needs of use and financial conditions, each car owner will have their own options. However, to ensure that you choose the most suitable, beautiful, quality and durable product, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• In terms of intended use: is your car a personal car, a company car or a service car? Who is the target audience? How about durability, softness, and luxury? If you like to refresh your car's interior regularly, there's no need to invest in durable genuine leather upholstery. If it is a company car or a service car, you should not invest in too high-class leather upholstery (because it requires careful care and maintenance). If the family car has young children, it is advisable to limit the cars that are easy to get dirty and difficult to clean such as suede, genuine leather, and Nappa leather.
• Pay attention to the origin of the productThe market for car seat covers is quite diverse – there are many reputable brands and many sources of poor quality and extremely low durability. You should choose reputable units to have a commitment to quality, origin and clear warranty.
• Choose the right color. Although the leather seat covers are not too rich in color, there are quite a few options that make you wonder. You should choose the seat color that matches the interior space (in harmony with the steering wheel cover, ceiling cover, car color, ...). Besides, you can also choose the right color to bring a lot of luck and fortune.
• Choose how to remove felt seat covers: Many car owners when buying leather upholstery often leave the original felt layer intact with the thought that later removing the cover, that layer of felt will still be like new. But according to Thanh Phong Auto's experience, if two layers of upholstery are stacked, the inner felt layer will be susceptible to mold, odor and bacteria, while the outer skin layer will not adhere and be less aesthetic. You should remove the felt layer so that the leather cover hugs the seat – ensuring the best softness and durability. That felt layer you can still keep and use when needed.
