sonic113 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi fellas As I'm in the process of some new seat covers I though this thread may be useful to recommend stuff like what others use to keep inside of car clean in terms of dash polish,seat covers, mats, air freshener ect. So feel free to recommend the best tried and tested car cleaners/protectors for onside and outside of the car. Hopefully it can point someone in the right direction without having to buy a lot of different types of products through trail and error to see what works for them. At The moment I use auto glym vinyl & rubber care for interior and outside trim. Any other stuff better than this please do recommend. so down to the question I want to ask about regarding seat covers. I was in talks with Lenny a few months back regarding his seat covers in his focus. At the prsesnt I have walser type ones which are a great fit (two sections on the seats) but after 2 years are wearing out :( and makes the inside look bad. Having kids in the car, I was looking at water proof ones and Lenny recommend the ones he has "Cosmos Hi-Extra Heavy Duty" which he says are very hard wearing and I think that would suit my purpose. Here is the link Below to a few versions: Grey/silver set http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cosmos-Hi-Back-Extra-Heavy-Duty-Waterproof-Car-Front-Seat-Covers-Pair-in-GREY-/351239715382?pt=UK_Car_Interior_Accessories&hash=item51c784ba36 Red trim set (The set I'm thinking of getting) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cosmos-Hi-Back-Extra-Heavy-Duty-Waterproof-Car-Front-Seat-Covers-in-BLACK-RED-/400763959490?pt=UK_Car_Interior_Accessories&hash=item5d4f64b8c2 they also come in all black and a blue trim set. So has any one sued these before and how do you find them? are they like the cheaper plastic material that the Halfords value ones are made of? what are they like installed/fitted? If any one has any pictures of them installed please do post as I wouldn't mind seeing what they look like in the focus. What other seat covers do you guys use and is there any seats out there with the ford logo printed on them? Thanks for reading fellas.

salsheikh Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 i had some cosmos heavy duty seats covers before and whilst they protected my seats from cr@p the only downside i had of them was the odd sliding about on them at first when taking on corners and then the odd static shock but that could have been my shoes. overall i was happy with the purchase. no pics sadly. i armor all trim protectant around the dash as its not too shiny and doesnt leave a greasy finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unlike some covers that are all over the place lol!) been looking at the armor all trim protectant and found a semi gloss finish version. Not sure of its the same one you are referring to but I think I will give it a try and see what its like. Here is the link for reference to anyone. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Armor-All-Protectant-Semi-Matt-Finish/dp/B002Q9FLHA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1423675660&sr=8-2&keywords=armor+all+trim+protectant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The fitting of the covers isnt great as they are universal but they are all like that. The armor all semi gloss will be fine mate as if its too shine the sun reflects off it blinding you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
