ScotchGuard...

[QKMPULSE]

Hey,

After seeing several threads about stains on the upholstery (seats, etc), I went out and got some ScotchGuard Spray Carpet/Fabric Protector.

The ScotchGuard is supposed to be absorbed into the fibers and when dry will prevent or make it easier to clean-up any stains. However, the Seats are supposed to be water resistant. I'm doubtful of this since I had an oil stain from a wrench on the rear seat and I used a spray cleaner on the fabric, the fabric immediately soaked-up the cleaner.

So, I think the ScotchGuard will be absorbed into the fibers just the same and provide protection.

Anyone try ScotchGuard or Similar? Any drawbacks?

Thx, Phil

Turns your seats purple and then they fall out.


I would be curious though if it does work because I would use it if it does. Please let me know what you find out.

My only comment is that I'd use Vectra before Scotchguard. Scotchguard's got name recogniztion, but when I got the minivan I was told to use Vectra and it's been really great. The carpets are all mangled (that's what you get with kids), but I put it on the seats and the seats are still quite nice (four years now).

Like I said, it doesn't have the name brand recognition that Scotchguard's got... I got mine at Home Depot, but my local one doesn't carry it anymore because people just walked in and asked for Scotchguard.
